Case Study: Schneider Electric achieves rapid cloud-driven innovation and resilient remote collaboration with Box

Schneider Electric innovates the energy industry on a digital backbone

Schneider Electric, a 185‑year‑old global leader in energy management with 135,000 employees, needed to modernize its digital content and collaboration as it scaled IoT solutions like EcoStruxure™. The COVID‑19 pandemic accelerated the challenge: the company had to shift from in‑person collaboration to a secure, remote and hybrid work model while protecting IP and ensuring business continuity.

Schneider pursued a multi‑year cloud content strategy and partnered with Box, moving assets to the cloud and building 150+ customer apps on Box APIs. The approach delivered rapid prototyping, easy multi‑environment provisioning, lower datacenter costs, scalable collaboration and stronger compliance—enabling resilient remote work, faster innovation and more robust business continuity.
