Customer Business Profile
The Opportunity Space for involvement in Core
Services or Products will vary with each
vertical market

Performance Improvements
Fixed Costs and Unmanageable Assets
Very little Opportunity for Value Added Services

Remote Monitoring Service Areas

• Network and Systems Management
• Many players and options
• Relatively mature and well understood offerings
• Traditional service area
• Data Gathering
• Plenty of opportunity for statistical and trend
  analysis, energy aggregation, ERP systems
  integration
• Lights Out Operations
• Monitoring HVAC, Security, Power, Lighting, Fire
  and Life Safety
• Remote Control and Administration
• Many opportunities for avoiding dispatching
  personnel to sites

4
Reduce Operating Costs

• Repair before major damage is done
• Dispatch only when necessary
• Remotely control building infrastructure systems
  to optimize utilization (HVAC, Security, Power,
  lighting, Fire, Conveyance)
• Remote root cause analysis
• Facilitate Lights Out operations without
  sacrificing quality of services

5
Why?

• Improve MTBF
• Minor problems are identified before they are
  service impacting
• Preventative actions can be scheduled when
  needed, not necessary driven by a schedule
• Improve MTTR
• Better remote diagnostics facilitate accurate
  dispatch of personnel, test equipment,
  replacement parts, etc.
• Near real time cost control (energy, lighting,
  dispatch, etc.)
• Risk Mitigation and Management
• Capture and manage events before they are service
  impacting
• Corrective or proactive actions can be taken
• SNMP technology leverages existing enterprise
  management system investments
• Integration to existing infrastructure management
  systems with the SNMP OPC Gateway leverages
  existing infrastructure investments and maximizes
  the amount of data available
• In many cases new probes do not have to be
  deployed
• Allows a building to be operated with the
  consideration of the interrelationships and
  interdependencies of all installed systems

New Business Opportunities

• Tenant Billing
• Lifecycle Cost Management
• Facility Benchmarking / Best Practice Analysis
• Continuous Improvement Programs
• Quality Assurance Monitoring
• Decision Support Services
• Once The S4 Group provides you access to all data
  in a facility, the resulting business
  opportunities are limited only by your
  imagination and your ability to sell these
  concepts and services to your customer
• You turn the data into information and the
  information into value to your customer,
  resulting in more revenue to you and higher
  quality service to your customer

The S4 Group, Inc. Company Profile

• The S4 Group, Inc was founded by Steven E. Jones
  after years of experience with telecommunications
  carriers, networking vendors, and system
  integration companies in both the government and
  commercial sectors.
• The early years of his career were in the
  telecommunications industry with Bell
  Laboratories, Siemens Corporation, and TRT
  Telecommunications designing and developing
  industry specific applications.
• More recent experience was in senior management
  positions with system integration companies
  providing IT facilities management, and Network
  integration, management, and outsourcing
  services.
• Before forming S4 Mr. Jones held multiple
  positions with Johnson Controls, Inc. Controls
  Group.
• As Manager, Architecture and Planning for the IT
  Communications team he played a key role in the
  design, implementation, operations, and
  management of the corporation-wide WAN.
• As Controls Group Representative for the Global
  Telecommunications and Connectivity team he
  influenced corporation-wide networking and
  telecommunications standards
• As a senior member of their System Integration
  Services group he focused on developing
  enterprise solutions and integrating the Metasys
  Building Automation System into customers IT
  environments, network infrastructure, and
  management platforms.
• In this capacity, he led the effort to SNMP
  enable the Johnson Controls Metasys BAS.
• S4 is vendor agnostic and will not enter into
  exclusive or anti-competitive relationships.
• We will actively seek out and establish strategic
  partnerships where combining the joint skills of
  both organizations are more beneficial to our
  customers than either organization could deliver
  on their own.
• S4 understands that in order to be successful
  with these goals we need to very carefully manage
  proprietary and partner company confidential
  information using the same degree of diligence as
  if they were originated by S4.
