HORNE INTERNATIONAL AND ENVIANCE JOIN FORCES TO IMPLEMENT ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM FOR U.S. ARMY
Environmental compliance technology already demonstrating tracking and management effectiveness at Anniston Army Depot and Fort Detrick
Fairfax, VA and Carlsbad, CA - August 13, 2007 - Horne
International, Inc. (OTCBB: HNIN) and Enviance, Inc., have forged an
alliance to provide the U.S. Army with a real-time, online system
for strengthening the U.S. Army’s environmental, health and safety
(EH&S) compliance activities while saving taxpayer dollars.
This forward-reaching partnership blends
the expertise of two leaders in the area of environmental
compliance. Horne has provided environmental support to the Army,
including the Army Environmental Command and the Regional
Environmental Offices, for 14 years and has in-depth knowledge of
the Army’s environmental systems, approaches, and constraints.
Enviance is the leading innovator and provider of Internet-based,
on-demand systems for the management and automation of EH&S
compliance activities. The Enviance System currently is in use at
more then 3,000 public and private facilities.
Horne International and Enviance
recently worked together at Anniston Army Depot, Alabama, and Fort
Detrick, Maryland, and demonstrated the value of an environmental
management information system for these installations. This effort
supported the National Defense Center for Environmental Excellence,
which was tasked to demonstrate, at multiple Department of Defense
sites, a Web-based application for consolidating and managing an
environmental management system and any compliance data consistently
across an organization. Enviance’s technology will enable each
installation to track important regulatory commitments, manage
associated tasks, prepare reports, and maintain a current record of
environmental requirements. Horne International Chairman, President
and CEO Darryl K. Horne said that the purpose of the new agreement
is to “offer a one-of-a-kind environmental support service that
brings the benefits of the Enviance system to military installations
nationwide. The Army spends billions of dollars on environmental
compliance. The Enviance system is an industry best practice that
will enable the Army to reduce those costs while enhancing
environmental performance.”
The Enviance System is an Internet-based
service that centrally manages in real-time all aspects of
regulatory compliance, dramatically improving operational
efficiency. Because the Enviance system is the only compliance
management platform based on software as a service (SaaS), costs are
kept low. No software or hardware installations are required on the
customer’s end, so the customer can immediately access the system.
“Already being used by leading companies and organizations in over
35 countries, the Enviance System has demonstrated a high level of
flexibility, enabling us to manage diverse compliance program
requirements around the world,” said Lawrence Goldenhersh, President
and CEO of Enviance. “Working with a leader like Horne International
will help us expand this powerful platform throughout the Army and
to other federal agencies to better manage critical issues such as
homeland security.”
Horne added, “We are already looking beyond this
Army-focused initiative and exploring other opportunities afforded
by Horne International’s experience in the government services
sector and Enviance’s experience in the commercial sector. This
relationship holds great promise for both companies, for our
customers, and for our environment.”
