Columbus, IN – 11/24/2025 – LHP Operational Assurance Systems (www.lhpoas.com) is a spinoff of LHP Engineering Solutions focused on operational assurance for fleets and connected machinery, and Entner Consulting Group, LLC (ECG), today announced a strategic partnership aimed at strengthening reliability, compliance readiness, and innovation across the mobility and industrial sectors.
Building on LHP’s 25-year legacy in safety-critical systems and functional safety certification, LHP OAS brings a deep technical pedigree and domain expertise to the partnership. ECG, founded by industry strategist Michael Entner-Gómez, contributes strategic leadership in mobility, data strategy, and digital transformation. Together, the firms will help OEMs, Tier-1 suppliers, and fleet operators accelerate their shift toward assured, software-defined operations.
ECG will serve as a strategic advisor and channel partner, helping LHP OAS strengthen engagement with Tier-1 suppliers, OEMs, and commercial fleet operators through tailored assurance-solutions offerings. The partnership will focus on high-reliability environments, including connected and autonomous vehicles, complex transportation networks, and energy acquisition and delivery systems, delivering high-fidelity operational assurance to industries that cannot afford to fail.
By combining LHP OAS’s embedded-to-cloud assurance stack, which spans edge control, remote actuation, audit-ready trails, and DevOps integration, with ECG’s mobility and data-strategy leadership, the partnership is positioned to accelerate customer time-to-value, reduce risk, and improve uptime.
As vehicles and equipment become increasingly software-intensive and dependent on over-the-air (OTA) updates, the demand for Operational Assurance beyond simple telemetry or monitoring has grown sharply. LHP OAS describes this evolution as moving from monitored to assured. Backed by decades of experience in functional safety and compliance engineering, LHP brings the technical pedigree and assurance framework maturity that OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers require as they transition into software-defined operations.
“LHP’s OA Sentinel platform represents the kind of operational backbone the next generation of fleets and machines will depend on,” said Michael Entner-Gómez, founder of ECG. “Our role is to help organizations understand how to align strategy, technology, and ecosystem execution to achieve measurable outcomes: reduced downtime, stronger safety and compliance posture, and faster innovation cycles. OEMs and equipment providers can no longer treat software, firmware, and connectivity as afterthoughts. Assurance must be built from the ground up, from the ECU to the cloud, in a closed-loop fashion that continuously validates, monitors, and improves system reliability.”
ECG’s role will emphasize strategic alignment, ecosystem orchestration, and market development, providing high-level guidance rather than day-to-day execution. This approach reflects the firm’s broader vision, shaped by Michael Entner-Gómez and his team of industry specialists across mobility, energy, and technology domains.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Entner Consulting Group,” said Christian Glass, Co-founder. “Their strategic insight and market perspective will help us deliver measurable reliability gains and faster realization of value for our clients.”
