ALEXANDRIA, Va. and PORTLAND, Maine, July 22 /PRNewswire/ --
Faithful+Gould US ("F+G") and 4tell Solutions, LLC, ("4tell" - formerly HCI
Solutions, LLC) announced today that they have entered into an exclusive
strategic partnership to deliver market-leading "green" facility solutions.
The united offering of 4tell's sustainable facility governance technology
platform and F+G's facility assessment consulting practice drives an increased
value proposition through a "best-in-class" offering embodying
multi-discipline facilities expertise, collaboration, proven business
practices and innovative technology for the built environment.
F+G assessments provide key information to determine condition, energy
efficiency, security risks, life expectancy, environmental impact, code
compliance and future repair and upgrade costs for buildings. 4tell's
iPlan(TM) technology captures, manages, models and analyzes this critical data
to deliver clients with the facility knowledge management and decision support
tools necessary to meet their ongoing needs for sustainable facility
governance, capital planning and performance management.
This unique solution is transforming how the market-place sources facility
consulting and technology services by empowering clients with the ability to
leverage investments across key facets of their operation including relevant
financial, energy, environmental and social factors.
"Our partnership with 4tell enables organizations to dramatically improve
performance and achieve their business objectives for sustainability and
corporate social responsibility in today's real-world, bottom-line business
environment," said Benjamin Dutton, Director of Facility Condition Assessment
for F+G.
By combining leading strategic management methods and business processes
with proven engineering and economic models, the F+G and 4tell partnership
empowers clients to adopt "green" governance practices for their facilities,
infrastructure and buildings. These efforts result in improved capital and
operating lifecycle budgets, streamlined facility governance processes, the
ability to keep environmental commitments and comply with regulatory reporting
requirements, as well as informing stakeholders through sustainability
reporting.
The partnership's solutions support the business processes of executives
in charge of capital investment performance as well as the processes of
facility, energy and security managers charged with improving the performance
of their portfolios.
"With F+G's ability to accurately and impartially analyze facility
infrastructure and 4tell's expertise in converting that information into
actionable decision, planning and project management processes, we
collectively deliver a facility governance solution that enables organizations
to optimize efficiencies and performance across their portfolios and maximize
the value of their assets," said Jim Kavanagh, President and CEO of 4tell.
