To understand the efficacy of EQS Group’s products, let us delve deep into one of its case studies wherein the company partnered with Schneider Electric. An active participant in energy distribution and industrial automation, Schneider Electric normally maintained insider lists using Excel sheets. Soon as the European Market Abuse Regulation (MAR) came into effect, the company found themselves in desperate need to log the Excel files for every change, i.e. almost daily, as from now on they need to be created within 24 hours. Schneider Electric attended workshops for issuers on the implementation of MAR and transform its processes digitally where it came across EQS Group. Soon, the duo closed in on the EQS Insider Manager and conducted in-depth search. During their first demo, Electric saw that the platform was very user-friendly and much more cost-effective than other solutions. All in all, the EQS solution made sending emails via a platform not only more efficient, but also brought Schneider Electric Group’s goal of digitising our processes come true.
