October 6, 2010—IBM and Schneider Electric are joining forces to provide new smarter buildings solutions that combine robust data collection and powerful analytics, enabling owners to better manage energy use at their facilities and obtain greater savings, the companies announced.
The partnership with Schneider, an expansion of a longstanding relationship, was among the major developments unveiled by IBM’s Al Zollar at the West Coast Green conference in San Francisco.
The new offerings of software, services and tools, which were developed in house and in concert with many of IBM’s strategic partners, represent the latest wave of developments to emerge from Big Blue’s Smarter Planet campaign.
IBM’s strategy has been to team up with other leading businesses, harness their capabilities, integrate them and apply IBM’s analytic might to produce end-to-end sustainability solutions for smarter connected buildings, grids, communities, transportation and infrastructure systems.
