Faithful+Gould and 4tell Partner to Deliver 'Green' Facility Solutions

NEWS RELEASE

Faithful+Gould US ("F+G") and 4tell Solutions, LLC, ("4tell" - formerly HCI Solutions, LLC) have announced late July 2008 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.
