Description

This IDC Market Perspective analyzes Schneider Electric's positioning and messaging from the 2025 Innovation Summit in Copenhagen, in which CEO Olivier Blum reaffirmed the company's long-standing mission to advance the global energy transition. Schneider Electric outlined its continued evolution into an energy technology partner, a role that builds on its heritage in electrification, automation, and sustainability while extending its capabilities into a new era of digital and AI-enabled innovation. Schneider Electric's strategy mirrors a broader industry movement toward energy intelligence in which the convergence of software, data, and connected systems is transforming how energy is generated, managed, and consumed across industrial operations, infrastructure, datacenters, and homes. This IDC Market Perspective also discusses the implications of this evolution for technology suppliers, ecosystem partners, and enterprises pursuing net-zero, resilience, and operational efficiency objectives. It serves as a follow-up to last year's Innovation Summit. "Schneider Electric's 2025 Innovation Summit marks a milestone in the company's transition from an electrical equipment manufacturer and energy solution provider into a full-spectrum energy technology partner," said Roberta Bigliani, group vice president, IDC. "Its integration of software, automation, and advisory capabilities sets a precedent for how industrial enterprises can operationalize sustainability through data, AI, and ecosystem collaboration."

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
