According to a new press release, “Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. today unveiled its Connected Enterprise, a suite of integrated capabilities and solutions to enable digital transformation. Jacobs Connected Enterprise (JCE) 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. In addition, Jacobs announces an investment in a new software platform (ION) and associated intellectual property assets obtained from Apprion, Inc. ION, a key component offering within JCE, enhances Jacobs’ ability to deliver, extend and manage the Industrial Internet of Things.”

The release goes on, “As digital transformation increases, more industrial systems are now connected and traditional boundaries between operational technology (OT) systems and IT systems are disappearing. Machines can interpret, learn, automate and communicate. This means that cars, factories, farms, ports, roads and even entire cities are being connected, fundamentally changing how things, people and systems interact. This evolutionary advancement drives the need for businesses to adapt and evolve to keep pace with the technology-driven changes of today and tomorrow.”
