Schneider Electric and Deloitte, a leading professional services organization, have announced a collaboration aimed at helping clients—from manufacturers and industrial operators to data center and infrastructure leaders—modernize their end-to-end processes across their organizations and explore new opportunities.
Today's organizations face unprecedented pressure to scale operations efficiently across the enterprise while maintaining cost control. However, many continue to rely on outdated practices that limit their ability to adapt, innovate, and compete in dynamic markets. This challenge is particularly acute in asset-intensive industries, where the convergence of artificial intelligence, IT/OT integration, and digital platforms is redefining what's possible. To address these challenges and capitalize on opportunities, technology alone is not enough; companies need clear strategies, proven methodologies, and trusted ecosystems to achieve sustainable operational excellence.
To support organizations in achieving company-wide transformation, necessary to compete in the digital era, Schneider Electric and Deloitte are joining forces, combining Deloitte's IndustryAdvantage platform and Ascend service delivery platform, as well as expertise in strategy, people, processes, and technology transformation, with Schneider Electric's know-how and its dedicated AI-based technologies for OT and software.
Together, the two organizations will help clients modernize industrial operations through tested IT/OT integration and end-to-end digital transformation, overcome the limitations of old, isolated systems, and better leverage open, software-defined automation platforms.
They will also be able to integrate artificial intelligence and advanced analytics to accelerate value realization and increase business impact.
„Organizations know they need to transform, but many lack a plan that aligns business strategy with the right digital and OT foundation,” said Gwenaelle Huet, Executive Vice President, Industrial Automation at Schneider Electric. „By combining our technology leadership with Deloitte's expertise in driving operational excellence and company-wide change, we provide customers with the tools they need to move forward quickly and with confidence.”
Ajai Vasudevan, Global Smart Operations Leader, Deloitte, stated: „Authentic digital transformation means much more than implementing new tools; it involves reinventing how an organization competes and grows. Deloitte brings the scale and rigor needed to drive this change end-to-end, at all levels of the organization. Combined with Schneider Electric's expertise in OT and AI-based industrial technologies, this collaboration offers clients new ways to transform and the operational precision needed to turn them into reality.”
