As businesses navigate the complexities of system modernization, AI, cybersecurity, and compliance, they are looking for a partner they can trust. That partner is FIT. But to be the best for them, we must be the best version of ourselves.   As employee owners, we recognize that our collective value is driven by efficiency and successful client outcomes. To increase that value, we are moving on two fronts: Sharpening Our Foundation Accountability Chart 2.0: Ensuring everyone understands their role in our success Operational Excellence: Transforming client onboarding, investing in resource planning, and refining our support model to boost margins. Future-Proofing: Evaluating our core systems to determine our 10-year Tech Stack designed for the long haul. Going on Offense FIT Secure 360: Launching our expanded offering to meet rising security demands. Total Visibility: Democratizing access to client roadmaps so every owner can help guide client success. Smart AI: Identifying key areas where automation makes our jobs easier and service better. We have the talent. We have the strategy. Now, let’s execute.   -Adam Tubbs ALL STAFF AND FITMAS 2025 2025 was an incredible year and coming together to celebrate is always a highlight.

Take your guess… we’ll reveal the answer here.     STRENGTHS SPOTLIGHT: RELATOR What it is: Relator is about building deep, trusting relationships. People with this strength value meaningful connection and create strong bonds by being genuine, consistent, and present.   Common misconception: Relators don’t need a big circle—they prefer a close one. This isn’t about being reserved or exclusive; it’s about investing deeply where trust already exists.   How it shows up on our teams: Relators are often the ones who foster psychological safety, strengthen collaboration, and bring teams closer together—especially during moments of change or challenge.   Fun facts: 62 people at FIT have Relator in their top 5 report 30 people at FIT have Strategic in their top 5 report   CliftonStrengths portal:  For more information, visit: https://my.gallup.com/ 🍸 New bar alert!
