ALEXANDRIA, Va. and PORTLAND, Maine, July 22 /EMWNews/ --

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.
