Selected as a 'Gartner Magic Quadrant Leader in ADMS' for 3 consecutive years

Schneider Electric (Korea Representative Kim Kyung-rok) announced that it has been selected as a leader in the ADMS sector for three consecutive years in the Quadrant report published by Gartner, a global IT market research firm.

Advanced Distribution Management Systems (ADMS) are an essential component of the smart grid and are an integrated distribution management platform that provides power grid managers with various functions, including network monitoring, performance analysis, situation management, and maintenance planning.


It integrates power grid management, outage management, and SCADA systems into a single system, helping power companies improve performance and reduce operating costs through optimization. According to the British consulting firm Technavio, the ADMS market is projected to grow by more than 17 percent annually from 2014 to 2019.

In this report, Schneider Electric was named the leader in the ADMS market segment for the third consecutive year, receiving the highest scores in all three application areas among key ADMS capabilities: improving response to power outages, optimizing power grid operations, and operating Distributed Energy Resources (DER).

Schneider Electric, which has 69 power companies and 66 million customers worldwide, has secured more than 10 new ADMS contracts in the past few months, including a contract signed with Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corp. in March of this year.

Frédéric Abbal, Senior Vice President of the Energy Business Unit at Schneider Electric, expressed his gratitude for the award, stating, “I am very pleased to be recognized once again by a prestigious organization like Gartner.”

He continued, “Being named a leader in the ADMS category of the Gartner Magic Quadrant is an encouraging result that reinforces Schneider Electric’s mission to provide the best solutions to our customers. We will continue to do our utmost to help customers optimize their investments and enhance the stability and resilience of their power grids.”
