Schneider Electric Expands Cloud Platform with Wonderware Online InStudio

Infrastructure-as-a-Service transforms how software is developed

Highly available, scalable solution accelerates time-to-market

Schneider Electric, the global specialist in energy management and automation, today introduced Wonderware Online InStudio, an Infrastructure-as-a-Service offering that revolutionises the way software engineers, Systems Integrators and end users can provision, develop, test and maintain their HMI and SCADA applications. Wonderware Online InStudio is part of the evolution of Wonderware Online cloud platform. This collection of industrial data aggregation, storage and visualisation functionalities is now called Wonderware Online InSight, built on Microsoft Azure.

This announcement closely aligns to strategic advice touted by McKinsey & Company in their August 2016 article, Digital in Industry: From Buzzword to Value Creation. Their recommendation: In order to maintain the efficiency and stability of existing operations while providing the processing capacity and speed required by new data-driven activities, smart companies move to a two-speed IT infrastructure-overlaying a fast, next-generation cloud-based IT system on their secure, robust, resilient legacy systems.

Wonderware Online InStudio is a secure, cloud subscription service that lets Systems Integrators overlay a next-generation infrastructure that is highly available and scalable. This offering supports improved collaboration during the development process across geographies and roles. Potential benefits include improved customer experiences, optimised delivery of software engineering services, enhanced application designs, faster user adoption and lower project costs. InStudio provides a multifaceted environment used for development, testing, version management, and training.
