The concept of an “extended enterprise” – that is, a network of partner relationships – is not new, according to Jean-Pascal Tricoire, CEO and Chairman, Schneider Electric. A single company cannot operate successfully in a silo to serve its customers best. Instead, a successful corporation depends on an ecosystem of partnerships, including suppliers, system integrators, and innovation partners such as universities, startups, technology alliances, and more. For Schneider Electric, this extended enterprise ensures that Life Is On everywhere, for everyone, and at every moment.

Homes are made to last for a long time; however, elements of the home require maintenance and replacement every now and then. Article contributed by Schneider Electric.
