Colombia. The APC by Schneider Electric channel program, aimed at IT partners, announces its 2019 agenda of webinars and reinforcement trainings in search of new partners who can further strengthen their community. With more than 10 years of existence and more than 4,000 allies throughout South America, Schneider Electric's certification is one of the strongest in the market, being recognized for its quality in support and training of its channels.
For the company, it is key to ensure that the 2,300 Colombian partners that are part of the APC by Schneider Electric program since 2018 are certified and can provide solutions to critical problems that affect energy efficiency in all industries such as latency, bandwidth and understanding of government regulations on the use of information.
"With the Local Edge Certification, we have more than 400 partners in South America, in the Andean cluster more than 170 and in Colombia we have more than 100 endorsed partners. What is it about? To give a tool to the channels so that they can be more consultative and can generate more integrated solutions of the entire portfolio offered by wholesalers, "says Luis Cuevas, director of Secure Power of Schneider Electric for the Andean Cluster.
Diana Mantilla, commercial manager of Ingeal SA, said that the Canales program is key because "the markets change regularly so they demand that we be in constant renewal. By receiving these trainings we can offer a better service, give guarantees to the client through certifications and specialized engineers who really provide solutions."
The first channel meeting, which was held at the end of June in Colombia, brought together more than 20 business partners from the Andean Cluster to talk about digital transformation and how through Schneider Electric solutions and the innovation of its partners it is possible to face together the challenges of the new digital economy in the region.
They also emphasized that the new monitoring software technology implemented by Schneider Electric seeks to simplify efficiency and reduce the costs incurred by its users by providing them with greater control and evaluation of energy problems before they occur.
In addition to the trainings, the APC channels by Schneider Electric program includes two webinars and has other free content tools generating a value chain between the company and its Resellers. In turn, the partner portal page has materials segmented according to the levels of the program, where they can find access options such as the "ISel", for example, which offers monthly new information and technical documents that support sales.
