"I'm exceedingly proud of the talented professionals whose expertise, dedication, and ceaseless commitment to innovation has again made Gartner's recognition possible," said Frédéric Abbal, Executive Vice President of Schneider Electric's Energy Business. "We believe being named a leader in ADMS once again is a tangible reflection of our constant pursuit of what digitization can really accomplish, in this case with respect to grid efficiency and asset optimization for distribution utilities."
