Case Study: Schneider Electric achieves a scalable, modern partner and software Exchange portal with Xtivia

Schneider Electric - Customer Case Study

Schneider Electric’s E‑Business team needed a versatile, scalable platform to replace an aging system and support thousands of global users — from a software download center handling files of hundreds of megabytes to a partner extranet, public site and mobile marketing app. They selected the Liferay platform for its low TCO, content and identity management, and extensibility, and engaged XTIVIA (Liferay Partner of the Year) to implement the solution.

XTIVIA built the Liferay‑based Exchange on AWS with a responsive theme, workflows for uploads, SSO and gated downloads, enhanced search via SolrCloud and XTIVIA search innovations, and trained Schneider staff to manage the portal. Launched in Q1 2014, the Exchange quickly became the go‑to resource for partners and employees worldwide, improved brand image and user experience, supported large file downloads and search/filtering at scale, and delivered measurable productivity gains for portal management and marketing — validating Liferay and XTIVIA’s solution.
