Item 2. Properties
Our properties consist of owned and leased office facilities for sales, support, research and development, consulting and administrative personnel, totaling approximately 0.3 million square feet of owned facilities and approximately 2.8 million square feet of leased facilities. During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we made a strategic decision to move towards a significant work from home model. Our intent, over time, is to make a significant reduction in the number of offices, anticipated to be over 50% of our global offices, impacting approximately 15% of our employees. Based upon our COVID-19 Restructuring Plan, we estimate that this transition can be executed within six to twelve months from implementation.
