There's a lot of pressure on the C-suite these days to maximize productivity and growth while conserving resources. One of the biggies on the resource side is energy, but here's the rub: Growth is coupled with energy consumption, and those curves move together-as you get bigger, you use more energy. At Schneider Electric, the global specialist in energy management, a strategic driving force for the entire company is to decouple those curves for its customers, and help them maintain growth while reducing energy consumption. "We're looking for a wider and wider spread between energy consumption and growth in our customers' operations," says Kent Evans, StruxureWare Offer Director, Schneider Electric. "And software technology research and development is a key driver to that decoupling."
