New Industrial Edge Computing Certification Empowers System Integrators to Become Trusted IT/OT Consultants.

Industrial Edge Computing Certification Program for System Integrators.

Customers need assurances that integrators have the requisite competencies. To that end, Schneider Electric has introduced the Industrial Edge Computing certification for system integrators.

The certification’s curriculum covers two primary areas of instruction:

1. General industry information about IT demands in the industrial space, how edge computing meets those demands, and how to scope out solutions for customers
2. An introduction to Schneider Electric edge computing solutions and services, and instruction on reference designs developed jointly with select partners

 

Certification Benefits

System integrators who earn the certification will enjoy benefits that make it easier to access the tools, designs, and solutions they need for successful edge computing implementations.

One significant benefit is the ability to register as a Cisco Technology Solution Integrator and leverage the vendor’s support and financing options. Thanks to Schneider Electric’s long-standing relationship with Cisco, we can extend our agreement to our Certified Partners. This means you can leverage the same technical and commercial advantages that Schneider Electric has with Cisco.

Another key benefit is direct access to Schneider Electric’s Local Edge Configurator through the mySchneider partner portal. The configurator lets users design edge computing solutions with best-in-class physical infrastructure, management, services, and physical security. The tool is easy to use, providing rapid design and visual, rack-level representation of solutions. Through the configurator, system integrators can access industrial edge computing reference designs, consisting of pre-configured complete solutions for which all components have been tested and validated.
