Schneider Electric has launched new industry certifications for data center & critical infrastructure within its EcoXpert™ Partner Program.

Designed to help support Schneider Electric’s channel partners to gain the industry knowledge and skill sets needed to digitize for a more sustainable future, the new certifications within the EcoXpert™ program focuses on empowering partners to be trusted advisors on data center and critical infrastructure solutions.

The benefits of choosing to train as a certified EcoXpert™ are many and help Schneider Electric channel partners to become the partner of choice for their customers through market differentiation, better positioning of their expertise to help increase profitability, and grow their business. These certifications from Schneider Electric are recognized as a trusted marque across multiple industries.

The new Schneider Electric data center & critical infrastructure certification within the EcoXpert Partner Program is targeted at partners involved in data center design and build, cooling and power specialists, systems integration and process automation, electrical and mechanical contractors, and service providers.

“The evolving partner program recognizes the ongoing education efforts in the EcoXpert program and the launch of new certifications tailored for data center and critical infrastructure solutions reflect our commitment to our partner community while underscoring our responsibility towards building a greener and more secure future” said Marc Garner, Senior Vice President, Secure Power division, Schneider Electric, Europe. “By empowering our partners through expanding our current program, by including these lead certifications focused on data center and critical infrastructure, we are ensuring that it aligns seamlessly with the principles of operational excellence and good stewardship within the data center industry. Together with our partners, we are not simply transforming data centers, we are helping the wider community set a benchmark of excellence in service and knowledge delivery for their own customers.”

The timeliness of training for data center experts is critical in the rapidly evolving field of data center technologies. Regular training and upskilling ensure that channel partners stay abreast of the latest advancements, enabling them to leverage new tools to the benefit of their own customers.

“Data center and critical infrastructure demand is experiencing unprecedented growth due to acceleration in AI led applications” said Paul Almond, Director at Datacentre UK (DCUK). “The new Schneider Electric certifications are bringing organizations and manufacturers together to share expertise we have in each of the different products and learn about different markets. I am hopeful that by bringing this extended family together it means we can deliver better solutions for the customer while maintaining the supplier customer relationship that's always worked so well. This collaborative approach is very important”.

“Bringing the ecosystem together couldn’t be timelier” said John Thompson, Managing Director, Advanced Power Technology (APT). “With the developments in technology and advances in AI driving the expansion of capacities, it is critical we partner with other people and the other EcoXperts. With other disciplines involved in building monitoring, integrating the data center feels like the right approach. We will be able to get the kind of training and program that is already available and long established for EcoXpert”.

 The program is designed to educate, support, and create opportunities for collaboration. The new benefits, as part of this critical infrastructure education focus, have been created to meet growing demand for more specialized training and includes:

• Online Training: A new training path focused on DESIGN and BUILD critical infrastructure solutions such as Power, Cooling, Software deployment and turnkey data center solutions.

• Badge & Certificate: Providing industry recognized certificates as proof of competence for potential customers and allows partners to better stand out and differentiate themselves in the marketplace.

• Access to Comprehensive Partner Ecosystem: For help and collaboration on implementing new technology in ways that are too complicated or unmanageable to do alone.

• Access to Other Lead Certifications: Access to other Schneider Electric competency certifications and segment specializations enhancing the opportunity to develop expertise on driving digital, efficient, and sustainable solutions for customers.

• Partner Portal: A personalized online experience that provides 24/7 access to all content, tools, benefits, and training.

• Technical Pre-Sales Support: Tailored Care Program deployed at countries to guarantee technical Pre-Sales support (Level 2 and 3) to ensure the right level of support to the Data Center & Critical Infrastructure Master and Certified Partners.

• Services Resell and Perform: EcoXpert Data Center & Critical Infrastructure Certified Partners are eligible to Buy & Resell Services with differentiation with approved registered opportunity (ORP Program).
