Why the name eta one solutions?

Time is precious in life and in business, and budget is always in short supply. In today's competitive marketplace you cannot afford waste or rework. Efficiency is therefore critical in every process, systems implementation and roll out initiative.

eta (η) is a Greek letter and the symbol for efficiency in a system. In any system it is theoretically impossible to reach 100% (η = 1) efficiency but as our name implies, we are in pursuit of this outcome in all that we do.
