Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. (NYSE:JEC) announced today
that in the past six months it has been selected to design and
procure innovative information technology and telecommunications
solutions for a number of U.S. federal sector clients, collectively
representing contract values totaling over $300 million.
Jacobs’ scope of work under the terms of these contracts includes
engineering design, procurement, installation and maintenance of
operational systems.
Building upon its acquisition of FNS in July 2014, Jacobs has
recently expanded channel partner agreements with numerous original
equipment manufacturers, enabling Jacobs to use and customize
emerging technologies to design, integrate, secure, operate and
maintain its clients’ network and desktop operations, data
transport, data storage, cloud solutions, and cybersecurity.
In making the announcement, Jacobs Group Vice
President Robert Norfleet stated, “The rapid advancement
and innovation in this market require companies and government
agencies to carefully consider how they build, enhance, finance,
and secure their critical communications infrastructures. We
are pleased to be able to offer our clients the most advanced
customized information and technology solutions that are
sustainable, reflect today’s constrained budget environment, and
meet the unique needs of our range of clients.”
In addition to its federal clients, Jacobs’ commercial customers
in the telecom end-market also benefit from the company’s expanded
channel partner agreements and technology lifecycle management
offerings. In the past year Jacobs has bolstered its telecom
capabilities for both public and government clients, supported by a
number of acquisitions that together enhance its ability to provide
a broad suite of information technology and telecommunications
services across multiple end-markets.
Jacobs is one of the world's largest and most diverse providers
of technical professional and construction services.
