Outsourced operation of Worklinq frees up energy to increase focus on the core business
Schneider Electric provides energy and automation digital solutions for efficiency and sustainability. They combine world-leading energy technologies, real-time automation, software and services into integrated solutions for homes, buildings, data centres, infrastructure and industries.
Schneider Electric was born during the first industrial revolution by the Schneider brothers who became major players in the steel and machine industry. Soon they entered the emerging electricity market and are now a global specialist in energy management and automation with 128,000+ employees and a revenue of 28.9 billion EUR in 2021.
“It is crucial that Worklinq always runs smoothly and seamlessly, which is why we chose to entrust the operation of both server and application to Worklinq and not to our IT outsourcing partner. This way we avoid much hassle, time consumption and costs”.
– Ingemar Strand, System Support, Schneider Electric
