Jacobs to Integrate Cisco Technology into its
Jacobs Connected Enterprise Framework
Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. (NYSE:JEC) has expanded its
systems integrator agreement with leading technology company Cisco,
to include Canada. The expansion enables Jacobs to utilize Cisco
technology and services to deliver its integrated connectivity
solutions to support operations and cost optimization in oil and
gas, mining and chemical facilities. The agreement will also
enhance Jacobs’ industrial cybersecurity offerings for clients in
Canada. Recent estimates indicate that the value of this market is
poised to exceed $20 billion annually by 2025.
As a result of this agreement, Jacobs will enhance its
integrated project solutions which combine Cisco technology with
both Jacobs Connected Enterprise (JCE), its digital transformation
solution, and Jacobs Process Risk Optimization (JPRO), its process
safety solution.
“This agreement enhances our ability to deliver fully integrated
solutions of our growing connected framework to our clients in
Canada,” Jacobs President Petroleum and Chemicals Gary Mandel. “By
integrating Cisco technology with both our connected enterprise and
process risk optimization frameworks, we are increasing the value
we can deliver in sustaining services, program support and capital
projects. Jacobs and Cisco clients in Canada will now have access
to these integrated solutions.”
JCE is a mature framework of capabilities and solutions that
enable digital transformation. It provides clients the capability
to connect, protect and analyze operational systems and data. JCE
spans several core functional categories, including the Industrial
Internet of Things (IIoT), information technology (IT) and network
infrastructure, cloud solutions, data analytics and cyber
security.
Jacobs Process Risk Optimization (JPRO) is a holistic approach
to process safety which helps increase reliability and plant
up-time. JPRO utilizes a multiple step process to categorize
process safety information for a specific site, apply formal hazard
analysis philosophies, and determine the most efficient risk
mitigation approach in order to reach the optimal solution. The
ability to assess the risk and determine the best solution is
enhanced by data from technology deployed in the facility. Wired
instrumentation can be very costly so using more cost effective
wireless solutions would save both time and money.
Jacobs is one of the world’s largest and most diverse providers
of full-spectrum technical, professional, and construction services
for industrial, commercial, and government organizations globally.
The company employs over 54,000 people and operates in more than 25
countries around the world. For more information, visit
