In this age of instant connectivity, it’s surprising that more than 2 billion people around the world still lack electricity or reliable sources of energy. Schneider Electric, the global specialist in energy management and automation, believes that access to energy is a basic human right and that today’s approach to energy management is unsustainable.

Schneider Electric makes bringing energy to everyone on the planet a core part of its mission — in ways that are safe, reliable, efficient, connected, and sustainable. By redefining power and automation — and by innovating at every level — the company invents connected technologies that ensure “Life Is On” everywhere, for everyone, at every moment.

Schneider Electric power distribution products and energy management components are installed in 40 %–60 % of buildings in all major cities around the world, prompting one company executive to call it “the world’s biggest invisible brand.” Still, to power its trailblazing mission and achieve its ambitious goals, Schneider Electric must continue to make energy ever more efficient and sustainable.

As these are ambitious goals, Schneider Electric relies on partners like Salesforce across its diverse business. In fact, using Salesforce App Cloud, the IT team at Schneider Electric is able to unite employees and partners in hundreds of countries with applications that transform how they conduct their business and share data across various departments.

The result: one powerfully seamless unified customer experience.
