IT Consulting and Integration Services

From one generation to the next, we’ll help you plan, integrate, and outsource your technology for an efficient, profitable business.

Chances are your company faces a number of serious challenges surrounding

your information technology. Increasing volumes of valuable data that must be

managed and leveraged. The ever-growing threat of network attacks. Budget cuts

demanding greater IT efficiencies and more predictable costs. Legacy systems

that must be upgraded at the same time new systems are required for new

products and services.

Schneider Electric IT Consulting and Integration Services has the expertise,

infrastructure, and flexibility to be your all-in-one partner across the whole IT life

cycle — helping you meet these challenges and achieve your business goals.

We don’t sell technology. Instead, we provide a comprehensive, vendor-neutral

portfolio of services to add value to your enterprise and to make your company

more profitable both in the short run and the long term.

Schneider Electric’s long history as Spain’s technology leader has given us an

especially deep understanding of the financial, telco, public administration, and

health care sectors. Through a variety of significant client engagements, we have

also developed considerable expertise in the energy, agriculture, transportation,

and retail industries.

Our service offerings span the range of capabilities needed to guide and support

your business and information technology systems and processes — from initial

planning through day-to-day operations. Unlike IT firms that focus only on hardware

or software, we offer more comprehensive, big picture solutions that encompass all

aspects of your business — your processes, technology, people, and assets.

Outsourcing Caring for your IT infrastructure



Outsourcing

As businesses worldwide seek to lower costs and improve operational efficiency, more companies are outsourcing their IT to an outside provider and taking advantage of economies of scale. By paying per use or on demand, your company can avoid purchasing IT as a capital expense, and can transform it into a predictable operating expense.

Schneider Electric IT Consulting and Integration Services can guide you in outsourcing your IT systems and/or your backup sites to Schneider Electric’s infrastructure, allowing you to reduce costs and focus time, energy, and resources on your core business.

As a technology leader with a robust infrastructure, Schneider Electric offers a comprehensive suite of services and resources to help your company get the

most from its outsourcing strategy:

• Businessprocessoutsourcing: We can help your company optimise

your business operating costs by managing the technologies behind your

critical business growth and development processes.

• Applicationsoutsourcing: Virtualisation of hardware and software

resources is one of today’s hottest IT trends. Schneider Electric provides

such virtualisation options as service-oriented architecture (SOA), software

as a service (SaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), infrastructure as a

service (IaaS) and cloud computing. According to industry experts, cloud

computing will be a significant paradigm shift in IT over the next 10 years. It

enables companies to reduce risk, increase productivity, avoid the costs of

software licenses, improve flexibility and scalability, and diversify information

across a network of data centres. Schneider Electric guarantees zero failure

on applications used in your daily business operations.

development facilities on two continents, providing an economical source
