PORTLAND, MAINE, USA � HCI Solutions, LLC (HCI), a Maine based corporation, today announced that it has been selected to provide comprehensive facility condition and security assessment, analysis and technology services for 20 US military installations.
In conjunction with completing the onsite facility and security assessment process, HCI is implementing its iPlan� Sustainable Facility Governance solution for this project to streamline and support the strategic capital planning and budgeting processes, project and program development, and stakeholder reporting requirements.
The iPlan Facility Capital Planning Solution supports the capital planning and budgeting process for facilities, buildings and infrastructure. Facility administrators and managers use iPlan to assess current asset conditions, forecast capital budget requirements, prioritize capital renewal projects, and support asset lifecycle repair/replace decisions. The tool streamlines the process of prioritizing the capital required to preserve and maintain the investment in infrastructure, facilities, and assets. iPlan allows organizations to effectively evaluate the scope and complexity of various capital renewal, deferred maintenance, plant adaptation, and maintenance projects and manage funding sources.
- Quantify and analyze system renewal costs
- Implement consistent capital planning process across divisions and sites
- Collaborate on planning and budgeting decisions using standardized process
- Compare lifecycle capital requirements to funding sources and levels
- Implement periodic condition assessments and deferred maintenance plans
The iPlan Security Governance solution serves the security capital planning, performance management, and stakeholder reporting needs for enterprises of all sizes. Powered by the iPlan platform, Security Governance is built around industry standards (Federal Emergency Management Agency 426/429) and proven methodologies to determine asset value, analyze the threat, and evaluate vulnerabilities for a portfolio of facilities. Detailed assessments for the higher risk buildings identify mitigation measures, which are capital plan items for upgrading the site and building ar�chitecture, building systems, and security systems. These capital plan items become the actionable security plan for a facility, with a lifecycle forecast of required funds to reduce security risk.
- Security planning & analysis on industry standards
- Provide consistent method for approving security plans
- Reduce cost of planning security investments
- Merge security investment decisions with overall capital planning process
- Manage security capital funding sources
- Report on security investment performance to stakeholders
Sustainable Facility Governance is emerging as a core business goal of leading organizations, both public and private. More and more, today�s global community is recognizing that successful management of facility asset portfolios requires processes and systems which support sustainability through the optimization of capital expenditures, improved lifecycle and maintenance decisions, enhanced energy efficiency and management, reduced emissions, and improved facility security with the capacity to provide timely stakeholder reporting.
�As we increasingly have a shared responsibility with our clients for the stewardship of their facility portfolios, and the related economic, environmental, energy and societal impacts resulting from their operation during their lifecycle, it is critical that we deliver our solutions in a manner that supports sustainable facility governance, while at the same time optimizes performance and return on investment�, said Jim Kavanagh, President of HCI, �HCI provides real value for its clients through improved business processes and operating efficiencies�.
