For Schneider Electric and Authorized Software Partner Use Only

Introduction
The purpose of this document is to provide an overview of the Schneider Electric
Wonderware Certification Competency Program. This includes an overview of the
certifications available by product; how to apply for certification examinations,

Program Overview
When plant owners and end users evaluate potential systems integrators for automation projects, they
must carefully weigh the technical capabilities of the integration firms being considered. The
integration firms themselves must carefully nurture the resource talent pool that gives them a
competitive edge in delivering successful projects. Both of those tasks are more manageable when
there is an objective, quantitative way to measure and reward the technical skills of the developers
who must implement complex systems using todays advanced technologies.
The Schneider Electric Wonderware Certified Application Developer Program focuses on certification
of individuals through Wonderware product related testing. Certification testing challenges
individuals to strengthen their capabilities with Wonderware software and other related skills that can
make an impact in successful installations. The program assists the end user in making more
informed decisions in selecting system integrators, and helps the integration firms themselves quantify
and solidify their own competitive advantage.
The Certified Application Developer program is also the technical cornerstone of our Certified System
Integrator programs. Those programs recognize not only an organizations ability to deliver successful
projects to customers, but also their investments in hiring and cultivating a minimum of two Certified
Application Developers who have proven their skills in appropriate Wonderware technologies. The
leading Schneider Electric Wonderware Certified System Integrator Partners encourage all of their
application developers actively working on Wonderware projects to become certified. This allows
them to instill greater confidence for their customers as they deliver technically superior results.
Certified Application Developer Program Benefits
Certified Application Developers have access to the Schneider Electric award winning Technical
Support team as well as quick and easy access to problem solving solutions.
Other major benefits include:

> Access to Senior Technical Support Engineers through the Schneider Electric worldwide
distribution network.

database
> Opportunity to participate in the Beta Testing Cycle to stay ahead of the market in learning about

the new products prior to release.
> Official certificates will be issued to the individual for specific Wonderware product certification.

state-of-the-art. This program offers a meaningful credential to celebrate an important technical
milestone for control systems and automation engineers and developers.
