Existing customers started to be concerned

about our future investment in the products and systems

they use and so were holding back on project

commencement

New customers did not understand the value of the

combined Schneider Electric and Invensys

portfolio and so were not moving to us

Show the strength of the combined Schneider

Electric and Invensys offers and reassure customers

that their investment in our existing offers is safe
