Schneider Electric outlined its continued evolution into an energy technology partner, a role that builds on its heritage in electrification, automation, and sustainability while extending its capabilities into a new era of digital and AI-enabled innovation. Schneider Electric's strategy mirrors a broader industry movement toward energy intelligence in which the convergence of software, data, and connected systems is transforming how energy is generated, managed, and consumed across industrial operations, infrastructure, datacenters, and homes. This IDC Market Perspective also discusses the implications of this evolution for technology suppliers, ecosystem partners, and enterprises pursuing net-zero, resilience, and operational efficiency objectives. It serves as a follow-up to last year's Innovation Summit. </P><P>"Schneider Electric's 2025 Innovation Summit marks a milestone in the company's transition from an electrical equipment manufacturer and energy solution provider into a full-spectrum energy technology partner," said Roberta Bigliani, group vice president, IDC.

The data indicates that enterprise buyers place a premium on providers with strong modern delivery capabilities (e.g., Agile, DevOps), integrated end‑to‑end service portfolios, and differentiated AI‑enabled offerings and frameworks. In contrast, elements such as talent availability, global delivery presence, and broader digital technology capabilities are viewed as baseline hygiene factors rather than true differentiators.</P><P>The data is sourced from IDC's <I>W</I><I>orldwide</I><I> Services </I><I>P</I><I>ath </I><I>S</I><I>urvey</I> conducted in August and September 2025.</P> IDC Survey Spotlight Tue, 23 Dec 2025 05:00:00 GMT Abhishek Mukherjee
