Schneider Electric, the global specialist in energy management, has made a significant addition to its operations in India with the inauguration of the Services Bureau in Bangalore, a Center of Excellence that supports Critical Environments including Data Centers. Coming under the company?s IT Business Vertical (IT BU), the Services Bureau is a seamless integration of information management systems, monitoring solutions, data science and technical & operational expertise.

The Services Bureau is the core enabler to deliver world class operational efficiency and legendary reliability in critical environments, including but not limited to industry segments such as Retail Banking (ATM infrastructure management), Healthcare (hospitals), high-end Manufacturing & Process automation units (that have high productivity targets), Telecom (for high network efficiency) and of course Data Center environments. The Services Bureau has been set up with an aim to help customers from all these critical environments achieve a much higher utilization of their infrastructure and achieve superior operational efficiency by driving down energy costs, human errors and costly downtime.

Commenting on the launch, Philippe Arsonneau, Senior Vice-President APJ Schneider Electric, IT Business Unit said, ?Critical environments, including Data Centers are becoming increasingly complex to manage and operate, as the business risks associated with failure of such critical infrastructure equipment is too significant to disregard. Schneider Electric is best-positioned to respond to this challenge given our strong experience in critical environments, our heritage in using the latest technology to achieve optimal performance and our continued investment, organically and inorganically, as we evolve to a more Service oriented company.?

With the Services Bureau as the core enabler Schneider Electric launches their Asset Connect Services offer, a 24×7 service that will help monitor, diagnose, analyze, predict and resolve critical situations before they occur.
