A Business Proposal to Increase Facilities Infrastructure Performance, and Raise Profits Executive Summary Background
Johnson Controls core business is facility management (FM), which we’ve been in since our founding in 1885. Johnson Controls has been in the FM business for nearly 60 years. We have significantly expanded our facilities management capabilities over time, to the point where we now manage 1.5 billion square feet worldwide – encompassing 72,000 buildings of various types for a wide spectrum of customers. We will bring this vast experience and accumulated best practices to our management of HHC’s facilities operation.
Each year, Johnson Controls purchases over $6 billion in goods and services, externally. As a Fortune 100 company, we leverage the more than 400 purchasing partners we have formed business relationships with around the world through our central purchasing team. Additionally, we have numerous long-term business relationships with local and regional partners that we leverage to further decrease project costs and keep us competitively priced in the marketplace.
The company has a robust range of technical capabilities that encompass all types of facilities and systems. We are a full Facilities Management company and we know and understand buildings. This expertise will benefit the health care market in all aspects of solution development.
