In addition to that, we have partnered with IBM
on their “Smarter Cities” project, so Schneider
technology is very much in play there, integrated
with IBM’s systems. These are just two examples
of Schneider Electric taking a leading role in the
cleantech space.”
So, what is the message to potential partners?
“We believe in collaboration and partnership. This
is evidenced by Schneider’s R&D collaboration
agreements with many global companies such as
IBM and Cisco, as well as a host of universities and
research centres worldwide.”
“Schneider Electric values its business partners
and works hand in glove with many specialists,
but particularly in the switchgear ar ea, application
software and integration for projects in energy
management, building automation and factory
automation, as well as many other complementary
added value activities.”
“Schneider Electric’s new focus on solutions requires
its various product and service activities to work more
closely together to develop innovation and offers with
common hardware and software platforms, based on
open architecture and standards. These platforms also
facilitate the integration of products and solutions
coming from acquisitions or partnerships.”
“Partnership is a way of life within Schneider Electric
with end user partnerships and solution partners
helping us all to make the most of our energy”.
