Schneider Electric Named a Top 10 Company to Watch in the Area of Energy Management Software

March 14, 2012 - PRLog -- Schneider Electric, a global specialist in energy management, has been named a Top 10 company to watch in Groom Energy’s new report, “The Enterprise Smart Grid – A Corporate Buyer’s Guide for Energy Management Software.” The report is the result of interviews with corporate energy, facility and sustainability managers and vendors offering Enterprise Smart Grid related technologies.

More than 100 energy management software solutions were researched for the report. The top 10 vendors were selected based on their innovation, customer proof points, strong market momentum, aggressive product development and increased emphasis on enterprise-wide and multiple-site implementations.  

“Schneider’s strong showing is a result of its broad product line from building management systems to corporate energy management,” said Paul Baier, vice president of sustainability consulting for Groom Energy. “Schneider’s purchase of Summit Energy was also a determining factor in Schneider’s inclusion to the list. The company’s dashboarDView software is quickly gaining momentum as an industry-leading sustainability and energy management solution.”

dashboarDView (DV) is a proprietary, online sustainability and energy management platform. DV provides users with the tools to actively measure and reduce their energy, carbon, water and waste – while also tracking the corresponding cost-savings.  DV transforms information at every level of the organization – carbon emissions, resources, cost and usage, program activity, etc. – into enterprise-wide business intelligence.
