EOH signs Schneider Electric software deal
October 2017
News
EOH has announced that it is the official southern African distributor for industrial software solutions provider Schneider Electric Software, further strengthening its industrial technologies portfolio.
The portfolio which includes Aquis, Avantis, OASyS, Ampla, Citect Scada, ClearScada, SimSci and Wonderware, improves productivity and profitability for production, manufacturing and infrastructure industries.
Schneider Electric Software has a longstanding relationship with EOH, through Wonderware southern Africa, a partner of the EOH group, having supplied and supported the Wonderware suite of products since 2003. As a result, EOH was the logical choice to take on the distribution of Schneider Electric software in southern Africa because of its existing focus on, and technical expertise in, the mining, manufacturing and infrastructure sectors.
“Bringing Wonderware and the rest of the Schneider Electric Software business under one EOH roof in South Africa is great news for our customers,” said Deon Barnard, MD of Wonderware Southern Africa. “We are proud to be a part of the depth and breadth of proven solutions, backed by some of the most knowledgeable people in the business. This is another milestone in the elimination of artificial boundaries between solutions and their functional application in the field, which is a great benefit to our customers.”
Zunaid Mayet, EOH’s Group CEO noted, “This is a strong endorsement and great testimony to EOH’s long-standing partnership with Schneider Electric Software. Schneider Electric Software’s industrial software technology, combined with EOH’s deep-levels of industry and technology integration expertise will collectively enable us to improve the way we serve our clients’ needs.”
Marc Ramsay, VP Industry Southern Africa at Schneider Electric Software added: “Partnering with EOH to support our software portfolio and collaborate on sales, will improve the experience of software customers and enhance the breadth of our software offering. EOH is a well-established and experienced software distributor with a large footprint and customer base, and the right partner to work with to develop the overall market for Schneider Electric software products.”
