I encountered world-class downhill skiing and breathtaking nature during my family’s latest travel to Norway. But as global product manager for the EcoStruxure IT software line of business, what stayed with me the most on our snowy adventure was the self-check-in counter at a hotel.
No, I am not kidding!
Within minutes, my exhausted and hungry family had checked in, printed access keys and skiing passes, and ordered breakfast. The self-check-in counter provided speed and transparency as well as flexibility and control – everything I wanted from the hotel and everything EcoStruxure IT customers want from our solutions.
So, when it comes to managing software licenses for your data center infrastructure management (DCIM) solution, why should the experience be any different? Our self-service DCIM license management system is a game-changer for businesses looking to stay agile and efficient, providing everything they could want – speed, transparency, flexibility, and control – in a simple-to-use portal.
Activate, adjust, and manage your software licenses
Gone are the days of waiting for manual approvals or navigating complex processes. With self-service license management, you are in control. You can activate, adjust, and manage your licenses whenever you need – without unnecessary delays. This autonomy means less dependency and more productivity.
At Schneider Electric, we call this solution mySchneider. It is the place to go for end users and partners to see and manage all assets from Schneider Electric. The mySchneider portal is designed to provide a personalized, all-in-one digital experience for our customers and partners.
Three key functionalities:
- Centralized Access to Tools, Software and Services
- Unified view of Schneider Electric resources, including product catalogues, order management, support, and training.
- Streamlined Order Management
- End-to-end order handling: quotes, order placement, tracking, and modification. Notifications for shipping details and delivery dates.
- Software Subscription Management
- Centralized management of licenses and subscriptions.
Grow at your own pace
Your business isn’t static, and your licensing shouldn’t be either. A self-service system allows you to scale at your own pace. Whether adding new sites, expanding capacity, or integrating new features, you can grow seamlessly without overcommitting upfront.
As we move our software to subscription models, our partners and customers are gaining a flexibility that was not possible. A typical situation for our customers is growth. A business keeps growing in size and so does its IT infrastructure, along with the software for managing IT.
Buy only what you need
Why pay for the nearest bulk package when you only need a fraction of it? Precision matters. Self-service licensing ensures you purchase exactly what your business requires – nothing more, nothing less. This approach optimizes costs and eliminates waste.
When you use mySchneider and our new subscription options for EcoStruxure IT, adding more nodes or racks to an existing software solution is easy. Our customers can create new subscriptions, add more nodes to existing subscriptions (while keeping the same renewal date), and renew subscription – all at the click of button.
Partner collaboration
Flexibility doesn’t mean isolation. Our system also enables partners to manage licenses in cooperation with end users. This collaborative option ensures expert guidance when needed while maintaining user autonomy as Product Management Director for the EcoStruxure IT Server and Embedded Software portfolio Sarah Jane Hannon illustrates in this Schneider Electric blog post.
When doing it yourself means doing it better
A self-service license management system empowers you to take control, scale intelligently, and optimize costs – all while keeping your collaboration options open. It is about freedom, precision, and efficiency. So, why wait? Do it yourself – and do it better. Learn more about mySchneider, your personalized digital experience.
