By 2021, at least 60 pc of global 2000 companies will actively monitor and manage EX, and utilize EX as the key differentiator to build and maintain B2B and B2C relationships. Creating a platform for transformation revolves around the enterprise engagements (OT) and the ecosystem engagements (CX).

Nikhil Pathak, VP Strategy, International, Secure Power Division, Schneider Electric said that by 2025, 75pc of the data will be processed at the edge, as per Gartner. Edge is at the core of the transformation.

Dave Johnson, Executive VP, Secure Power Division said that Schneider Electric is leading the digital transformation of energy management and automation. 40pc of business devoted to commercial, industrial and residential buildings, 14 pc data centers and networks, 29 pc to industry, 10 pc infrastructure, and 7 pc utilities.
