Schneider Electric, a global energy management and automation major, with operations in over 100 countries, is replacing its older systems with more flexible and responsive infrastructure using agile methodology. It requires a meticulous plan that includes recalibration of technology and robust internal communication. To achieve this, Schneider relies on EcoStruxure IT - its three-in-one data center infrastructure management solution that takes care of resiliency, security and sustainability and can run a check in just 30 minutes.

The company has also introduced a concept of 'power couple,' which is essentially a team of domain and digital leaders.

"Once started as an experiment, it has become a best practice at Schneider Electric. The combination of digital and domain leaders is fit to support the domain’s business priorities," said Bobby Cain, CIO North America, Schneider Electric. "This future-ready collaborative approach enables better alignment between business and technology."

In a video interview with Information Security Media Group, Cain discusses:

  • Importance of agile ideology in transforming technology infrastructure;
  • Concepts of EcoStruxure IT and power couple;
  • Need for positioning IT to solve business challenges.

As regional CIO, Cain is responsible for driving digital transformation and IT landscape evolution to support Schneider Electric's North America operations and business growth. He joined Schneider Electric in 2014 as VP - national sales force, and led a $1B sales region.
