WEST KINGSTON – APC/MGE has launched newly redesigned programs to align industry trends with business opportunities for the company’s partners, helping maximize their energy-efficiency savings.
The company’s next-generation channel programs – being promoted nationwide, and in Toronto, in a series of “Capitalize 2008” one-day sessions – will serve as the blueprints for partners to solve their customer’s issues associated with increased power and cooling densities, higher power consumption and energy-efficiency requirements, said Marc Sherman, vice president of global channel programs for APC.
Recent industry trends are driving customers’ reliance on their data and IT systems to an all-time high, while the energy costs to run those systems increase as well. This reality puts solution providers in a position to consult with their customers on not only their IT needs, but also the physical infrastructure that supports them – where the majority of the true energy-efficiency savings can be found, Sherman said.
APC, a global leader in integrated critical power and cooling services, has developed a tiered certification program that provides partners with an opportunity to develop sales and engineering competencies in power, cooling, security and environmental management.
APC-MGE is a division of the Critical Power and Cooling Services unit of Rueil-Malmaison, France-based Schneider Electric (Paris: SU.PA, Euronext: SCHN). For more information, visit APC.com or APC-MGE.com.
