Story
Industrials work at Jacobs spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in the United States. Employee requests was splitting across regional habits. HR, facilities, and finance ops asked for a shared way to run shared services without freezing local judgment.
Appian (Appian Data Fabric) is what they standardized on. Appian is a process automation platform that combines low-code apps, data fabric, and robotic automation for operations teams. Jacobs uses it as the system of record for employee requests, with HR, facilities, and finance ops as the primary operators and other groups coming in through the same queue.
