Schneider Electric has launched a new partner program for Australian and New Zealand systems integrators (SI).
The Alliance SI Energise Program aims to help SIs become industrial technology and sustainability experts with access to materials, tools, training and certifications.
Partners can also leverage commercial benefits including rebates, access to marketing development funds, rewards and discounts.
“We are so excited to launch this program in Australia and New Zealand to provide our systems integrators a range of tools to become industrial technology and sustainability experts,” said Carlos Urbano, VP of industry for Pacific Zone at Schneider Electric.
“At Schneider Electric, we are committed to giving our partners the tools to drive their successes. Schneider Electric has a wealth of knowledge and expertise, which SIs will now be able to leverage with the commencement of this program.”
The program offers a two-tier training regime that enables SIs to become certified in Schneider Electric technologies such as control systems, cybersecurity, remote operations, robotics, variable speed drives, and AVEVA software.
Partners can also access training to develop knowledge of selling behaviours and sustainability.
Enablement benefits include an updated software package that allows partners to access, design, engineer and deliver industrial automation using Schneider Electric or AVEVA software.
The program also offers access to global competency centres that provide specialist pre- and post-sales support, as well as sales, promotional and marketing kits.
"Already available locally, the new Energise SI Alliance Program is rolling out globally over coming months to help alliance members all over the world bring industrial tech and sustainability into their businesses to unlock value-add and growth opportunities," said Benjamin Wilson, industry channel marketing manager for Schneider Electric Pacific.
