multiple projects to share a single existing conditions model and all scope is
collated in said model for a single source of truth of all work performed in the
facility. This creation came about from having many initial BIM/Revit kickoff
meetings with project teams, which has greatly increased efficiency throughout the
project. The overall Revit template was also updated to provide more efficient
workflows. Revit content continued to be updated per the ASAP and TAG updates
above. Laser scanning workflows increased this past year in many of the Regions.
The team continued to enhance the use of mobile technology. We know use
Newforma for field notes and site walks and use Autodesk or Newforma for punch
lists. The purchase of a new app, Layer, is being utilized heavily on projects
involving facility assessments. Additionally, the team worked with the ASAP
committee to create virtual reality workflows which we can now utilize in
presentations and at trade shows to showcase our work. Upcoming needs for the
BIM Team include adding another team member to support the BIM efforts across
the firm. This is anticipated to occur in the 2 or 3 quarter of FY23.

The Information Technology (IT) Team has had a challenging year keeping up
with the overall firm growth, office moves and new offices. Several decisions were
made to assist with this growth including onboarding an outside 24/7 helpdesk,
PSM Partners. Since mid FY21, the firm decided it would begin to migrate to
meeting the Department of Defense Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification
(CMMC) which is a lengthy process which also continued in FY22. If we continue to
work on Federal projects, this will be a requirement for the firm to meet. This
process includes additional security programs and process including the
implementation of a 2-factor authentication for VPN and O365 logins. We were
testing the new Zoom phone for potential use in the firm, and we have begun to
implement across the firm. The team completed the move for the new Austin
office as well as completed the integration of the new Reston office. The team also
added Luis Cabezas to assist in their efforts.

MARKETING

In FY22 the marketing team worked diligently to align the department with the overall strategic vision
and mission.

Continue to strengthen the connection and
engagement with FGMA team.
As we continue to meet our goals as a firm, it is very
important for BUZZ to provide a transparent connection
to the firm-wide information, including the activities of the
marketing team. In 2022, marketing added more content to BUZZ to create more transparency about
marketing and how we can best support the firm. Content continues to grow in the Marketing
Knowledge Center in BUZZ. A number of new sections have been built out and will be completed in
early in 2023. To encourage more information sharing via the Activity Stream, marketing has worked
with Committees, Managing Directors and Practice Leaders to increase activity stream posts and
strengthen content on BUZZ to help increase connection of employees knowledge of FGMA and our
product. Ultimately, we hope that everyone will increasingly use BUZZ to connect and look for
opportunities to share more about our projects and capabilities with clients, potential clients, and
peers in our industry. The goal is that each FGMA employee sees themselves as a brand ambassador –
