DALLAS, Feb. 21, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Jacobs (NYSE:JEC) was honored for its outstanding collaboration, contribution and commitment to innovation at Avaya's ENGAGE 2019 conference.

Focused on building long-term client relationships to become one of the largest and most diverse providers of technical, professional and construction services, Jacobs was not only Avaya's top-line revenue producer in the U.S. Federal space in 2018, but also grew its overall business with Avaya by 325 percent in the past year, selling the most end devices – secure and non-secure telephones – in the federal sector, including the single-largest sale ever to a federal agency. The scope of the project was for Jacobs to install and provision 33,000 endpoints.
