This strategic partnership aims to integrate HCLTech's IT expertise with Schneider Electric's operational prowess to drive enhanced efficiency, productivity, and modernisation within data centres. By synergising their strengths, the duo endeavours to substantially reduce carbon footprints and bolster sustainability across APAC.
Highlighting the essence of this collaboration, Tan Boon Hien, Senior Vice President and Head of APAC Sustainability at HCLTech, emphasised the responsibility of enterprises to responsibly manage energy consumption as the digital economy continues to burgeon. With Schneider Electric, HCLTech aspires to engineer cutting-edge sustainability solutions tailored to APAC's data centres.
