Sustainable IT Solutions

If you give a customer sustainable IT solutions, they can meet a network’s current demands. If you teach a person the importance of sustainable IT, they can pay it forward beyond the solution’s lifecycle.  

Schneider Electric is taking that tack, and it is providing significant opportunities for solution provider partners as it continues to provide IT and infrastructure leadership in the education space.  

Develop IT, OT Sustainability 

Schneider Electric's Educational Equipment Services program offers customizable training solutions, including over 200 educational equipment items and digital tools, designed to enhance IT and OT skills when it comes to sustainability. These resources provide hands-on experience and simulations, enabling groups to practice operations without impacting actual installations, thereby improving safety and operational efficiency.   

“Along with the phenomenal increase in the need of clean-energy technologies and commitments to the just energy transition, there is an ever-increasing requirement to further upskill our youth to meet the growing demands,” writes Zanelle Dalglish, Global Leader, Training and Education Affairs at Schneider Electric, in a recent blog post.   

Schneider Electric has worked extensively with solution providers in the education space to not just deliver sustainable IT solutions but spread training, education and awareness of how technology and energy use impacts the larger world.  

Build Structure Into Sustainability 

Schneider Electric's approach is also anchored by its Youth Impact Through Learning Program, which enhances academic initiatives to align with industry needs and prepares the workforce of tomorrow with essential skills and knowledge.  

Central to this strategy is the EcoStruxure platform, which facilitates data sharing and analysis at every level—from the network edge to the data center—leveraging cloud technology and artificial intelligence to provide real-time insights. 

Through training supported by this platform, students gain a comprehensive understanding of sustainability and the role of IT in creating a sustainable world. Here, Schneider Electric collaborates with educational institutions to ensure curricula meet current industry demands, producing graduates equipped with relevant skills for the energy sector. 

Schneider Electric describes it as "upskilling for the future."
