Xerox Signs $153 Million Contract with Schneider Electric

IT infrastructure management is among the major worries for companies these days. With a large number of employees working on a diverse range of IT infrastructure all over the world, companies often find it hard to provide and manage ideal IT infrastructures. This is a difficult job and it often requires specialists.

Recently, Global energy innovator Schneider Electric (News - Alert) chose Xerox to upgrade its IT infrastructure. The agreement spans seven-years and is worth $153 million. 

By combining its data centers and managing them with inexpensive, advanced automated processes, Xerox will upgrade Schneider Electric’s North American IT infrastructure operations. These processes respond to the fluctuating market demands of the energy sector.

Xerox will also look after running the company’s help desk, which Schneider employees depend on to trouble-shoot daily issues with their computers. This will include helping remote employees who use mobile devices.

“By choosing Xerox to enhance its IT operations, Schneider can continue to focus on meeting emerging energy trends by taking advantage of the latest, disruptive technologies, said Kevin Kyser, chief operations officer of Xerox’s IT outsourcing group. “Schneider Electric is simplifying its internal IT operations as it continues to lead in the evolving energy industry,” said Kyser. “We will help them pave the way to cloud computing. This transition will allow Xerox to introduce new technologies as well as standardized processes in centralized locations.” 

Recently, the company stated that it was looking to enhance its product offerings related to customer experience management for the wireless industry. To so this, the company acquired WDS.
