FOCUS OF THE PRESENTATION

 “Digital transformation is a hot topic right now in many industries. MMM specifically, as one of the sectors located at or below the middle of the digital transformation curve, is ideally positioned for rapid growth. We found that many customers start the process, without understanding why or knowing where they want to end up. I aim to explain the process adopted by Schneider Electric to guide our customers to place the appropriate amount of emphasis on people, process and then technology to achieve the desired return through a more focused approach to digital transformation”
