more than 130,000 employees worldwide, Schneider Electric helps make

According to Telvent's Chairman and CEO, Ignacio Gonzalez, "After a
productive, exciting and successful integration period, we are proud
to be known as Schneider Electric. Together, we can now further
improve the efficiency of mission critical infrastructures and
continue our focus helping customers with the challenges of building
a sustainable world for future generations."
"Schneider Electric customers can look forward to the same solutions
they know and trust, and they can now benefit from new enhancements
and offerings made possible through the unique synergies and
collective strengths we now share with Telvent," said Michel Crochon,

Telvent brings a high value-added solution capability and a whole
range of software to pilot Schneider Electric's own solutions for
energy and process management, taking the efficiency of mission
critical infrastructures to the new era of smart infrastructures,
like the smart grid. All of Telvent's business units have now
successfully transitioned to the Schneider Electric brand, with the
exception of the agriculture division, which will retain the Telvent
DTN/The Progressive Farmer brand as part of the go-to-market
strategy.
