The USAF supports approximately 170 installations worldwide accounting for over 700 million square feet of facilities, more than 500 miles of runways and some 10 million acres of land managed by approximately 66,000 civil engineers. Their NexGen IT programme supports the AFCE community in its work to improve efficiency and effectiveness. 

As part of this programme, the USAF deployed TRIRIGA, an integrated workplace management system owned by IBM and has begun the process to upgrade all their installations to TRIRIGA by 2023.  The system will provide the reliable, real-time information and analytics needed to prioritise projects, validate funding, and support the entire asset management lifecycle.  Serco will perform the majority of the work at Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery, Alabama.
