(PRWEB) February 2 2004--gCells Inc. is pleased to announce the immediate
availability of the gPortals Facility Management Internet Portal -- a Computer
Aided Facilities Management (CAFM) software.
gPortals is a Web-based program, or “Portal”, that helps owners and managers
run their buildings safely, smoothly, and profitably. It requires no special
installation, very little training, and is licensed through a simple monthly
subscription fee.
A building has a single gPortals interface (known as a “gPortal”), accessible
via the Internet. Through it, tenants, security, maintenance, employees, and
the public can communicate, store information, and enjoy the many conveniences
offered by the gPortals modules.
“gPortals is the kind of software that can make the small guy, be it a small
apartment complex or a regional real estate firm, look just like the big guy,”
said Dr. David Hary, gCells Company President. “It provides the customer with a
clean, professional interface for their building. That translates into
immediate sales benefits. Potential tenants like to see that their future
landlord is consistent, accessible, and up to date. All in all, it really evens
the playing field.”
Managers, Tenants, and Guests Communicate Smoothly, Safely, and Efficiently
The idea behind gPortals is that everyone involved in a property, be they
tenants, managers, workers, or guests, should have one, simple place where they
can find and post information. If a tenant needs to do anything from submit a
maintenance request to download the latest security and safety information, all
he or she needs to do is type the address of the site’s gPortal into a Web
Browser. Similarly, if a member of the public is looking for information on the
site (or looking for available rental/leasing space on the Web), he or she
can browse through the custom Web Site that gPortals generates for the
property.
In order to make gPortals as accessible as possible, it has been designed with
multi lingual support. Managers can publish information in a whole range of
languages, thus accomodating today’s increasingly polylingual environment.
A New Direction in Facility Management: Small, Affordable, and Integrative
“gPortals is intended to reach people who were turned off by or couldn’t afford
existing facility management packages,” said Dr. Hary. Indeed, the gPortals
pricing scheme is targeted at companies who demand considerable bang for their
buck, starting at $29.00 per month. gCells Inc intends to justify this very low
cost by making gPortals easy to use and available to a wide variety of people.
“Gone are the days when programs like this are priced in the six figures and
available only to the very largest real estate companies,” said Dr. Hary.
Along with the price comes a philosophy of ease of use. “We talked to customers
of existing applications and found that they were overwhelmed by the amount of
training required,” said Christopher Bissell, director of programming at gCells
Inc. “They were attending training seminars, taking extensive notes, and still
had no idea how to navigate through innumerable screens of data. We designed
the gPortals interface with the idea that the average person could sit down at
the computer and at the end of a session can have accomplished something truly
useful.”

“gPortals will always be growing,” said Dr. Hary. “Because we are an Internet
application, we are willing and able to respond to customer concerns and
suggestions without embarking on a costly upgrade process.”
