Schneider Electric named a Leader in Sustainability Management Software by Independent Analyst Firm
Louisville, KY (PRWEB) July 02, 2013 -- Schneider Electric, a global leader in sustainability services and energy management, is pleased to announce that Verdantix, an independent analyst firm, has named the company a leader in its 2013 Green Quadrant Sustainability Management Software report for its sustainability management software platform, Resource Advisor™.
“Sustainability is at the forefront of all that we do at Schneider Electric and this focus allows us to provide innovative sustainability solutions such as Resource Advisor,” said Steve Wilhite, Senior Vice President, Supply & Sustainability at Schneider Electric. “The Verdantix recognition confirms our commitment and proven track record of providing global best-in-class sustainability strategy, technology, and implementation services that transform business processes and help our clients grow their business."
Schneider Electric was one of the leaders named in the report which was determined through the combination of market leading capabilities and momentum scoring. Schneider Electric received the overall highest score for momentum based on the aggregate scoring of customer, strategic, and sustainability momentum. According to Verdantix, the leaders stood out because they have:
- Invested across the full breadth of sustainability software functionality.
- Strong strategic positioning.
- Superior traction with $1 billion revenue firms and higher brand awareness.
- Robust data input and data management functionality.
- Analytical tools to assess risks, costs, forecasts and benchmarks.
- Superior functionality to enhance and expedite reporting processes.
- Compelling tools for project management, supply chain and employee engagement.
The criteria for this leadership recognition is precisely the reason Schneider Electric client, Blackstone, selected Resource Advisor as their sustainability management software platform.
“The marketplace is crowded with tracking solutions focused on sustainability. Resource Advisor stands out for its superior ability to tie predictive energy cost modules to portfolio-wide diagnostics, project prioritization, and reporting capabilities,” said Don Anderson, Chief Sustainability Officer at Blackstone. “The combination of smart diagnostics and project management is perfect for organizing and prioritizing both disparate and interconnected elements of an enterprise-wide sustainability program.”
The Green Quadrant report combined benchmark data from 15 suppliers, responses to an 87 point questionnaire and interviews with an independent panel of 15 customers across 11 industries, who have bought, or are planning to buy, sustainability management software.
This report helps senior executives across all industries to select a software supplier to assist their firm’s sustainability data collection, management and performance at the enterprise level. The decision-makers include the Chief Sustainability Officer, CFO, VP Environment, Health & Safety (EH&S) and Director of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
“Schneider Electric has clearly positioned itself as a leader in the sustainability software marketplace,” said Samantha Price, Industry Analyst, Verdantix, who wrote the report. “The combination of robust functionality and intuitive user interface allowed Schneider Electric to distinguish itself as a leader in our report.”
