\"\"<\/a>Digitization is about much more than just technology. It\u2019s also about collaboration and people<\/a>. If you already understand this, you\u2019re off to a good start.<\/p>\n

As our Industrial Automation EVP Peter Herweck recently acknowledged<\/a>, seeing a digitization project through to the end isn\u2019t always so simple. One of the reasons for this is because it\u2019s not just a matter of implementing technology. It involves organizational and structural changes, and if you don\u2019t plan for them, it could fail.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why at Schneider Electric we\u2019re focused on how we can help companies with these challenges as well providing technology solutions. This is part of our vision for the Schneider Electric Exchange, which has already shown success since it was launched in April 2019. We expect it will build into an even greater hub for innovation in years to come.<\/p>\n

How Exchange is helping meet the challenges of digitization<\/strong><\/p>\n

A project needs to have the right people on board from the beginning in order to succeed. This alone can be a roadblock for companies, with questions like, where do I start? Where do I find the right people to help navigate these unknown waters? What\u2019s missing is market exposure<\/strong>, a way for customers to find the right expertise to help them with their digital journey. Schneider Electric\u2019s \u2018Exchange<\/a>\u2019 fills this gap.<\/p>\n

Exchange is an online digital platform where customers and partners can access the help they need for their projects. People use it to collaborate, do business, find solutions, or simply ask a question. It can take you all the way from the early stages; from getting a plan, to execution, to operational aspects such as \u2013 data flow, data analysts, and more.<\/p>\n

Importantly, Exchange is not just about technology. The whole idea is that businesses can find experts in other areas such as HR or change management, or if you\u2019re literally at the very beginning of your journey, a business consultant to help you answer some of the organizational questions I mentioned earlier.<\/p>\n

Using the Exchange Communities to your advantage<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t know where to start, the Communities forum on Exchange is a great place to ask questions. The Communities forum is where customers and partners go to solve problems, find solutions, collaborate, and share experiences day-to-day. There\u2019s nothing particularly \u2018disruptive\u2019 or revolutionary about it, it\u2019s simply a place where experts from different backgrounds come together to share, exchange ideas and help each other. But when you think about it, providing a clear path on what can appear to be a complex journey, is an essential component of any major innovation.<\/p>\n
