The Race to a Data-Enabled Future for the Engineering Industry

While the digital solutions industry is moving faster than ever, Jacobs is ready for the race

As Jacobs Vice President of Data and Digital Sales for the Americas, my team and I are working hard to solve our clients’ biggest challenges by incorporating innovative digital solutions into our work efforts.

As our clients continue to invest in critical infrastructure through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the Inflation Reduction Act, Jacobs is leading the charge for our digital in-house tools and expertise to deliver integrated, data-driven solutions for our clients and the communities they serve. These are game-changing innovations and I believe it is important to bring the next generation along.

In working to empower the next generation of leaders by using data to draw meaningful insights and develop solutions to some of our most complex challenges, I recently attended the Georgia Institute of Technology College of Design | School of Architecture’s Industry Innovation | The Now and Future of AEC Practices. I served as one of the guest speakers for a roundtable interview and Q&A with students from the university.

Here are my three key takeaways from the event:

1.???? With data solutions being a key focus of work efforts moving forward, now is the opportune time for students to evolve their understanding of the power of digital solutions.

2.???? The combination of decades worth of engineering expertise along with the significant progress within the digital technology sector enables us to deliver projects at a faster rate, with better decision making, and increased cost savings.

3.???? At Jacobs, we are fortunate to work on cutting-edge innovative software and leverage the creative brainpower that our diverse talent network brings to the table. With this, we are ready to solve any challenge for our clients.??

Why Jacobs?

Our clients are navigating the digital transformation and growing cyber risks. Positioned at the forefront of this growth, we’ve placed data solutions at the heart of our business and in our Boldly Moving Forward strategy, adding digital capabilities, products and tools. At Jacobs, we serve as a trusted digital transformation partner for our clients. We recognize that every client will adopt digital technologies at their own pace, and we’re there to support them at every step of their journey.?
