This strategic evolution represents a significant milestone for us, driven by a relentless pursuit of excellence and a deep understanding of the changing landscape of the digital era. In response to the dynamic demands of our customers and the rapidly evolving technology ecosystem, we have diversified our portfolio to not only meet but exceed expectations. The expansion into M&E infrastructure as-a-Service is not just a strategic move for NaviX; it is a response to the needs of our valued customers and partners. We have listened, learned, and evolved to ensure that we continue to be your trusted partner in progress.

I want to express my sincere gratitude to our customers and partners who have been instrumental in our success. Your trust and collaboration have been the driving force behind our growth, and we are committed to continuing this journey of excellence and decarbonization together.

Aug 1, 2023 – NaviX Solutions Pte Ltd (“NaviX”), a first-to-market provider of Infrastructure-as-a-Service (“IaaS”), announced today the appointment of Peter Goh as its new CEO. Peter replaced Simon Claringbold, co-founder and outgoing CEO, starting on 3 July, 2023.

“As the digital economy continues to evolve, ventures like NaviX Solutions will be increasingly key in helping businesses manage critical infrastructure like power and cooling assets. We are confident that Peter’s wealth of experience in the CleanTech industry, will propel NaviX’s aim of empowering companies to maximise the value that such assets deliver and transform sustainably,” said Yoon Young Kim, Cluster President, Singapore and Brunei, Schneider Electric.

Peter brings with him 13 years of leadership, green technology and as-a-Service experience to the position. His last appointment was Director of Business Development for Small and Medium Sized Business (SMB) with EDPR APAC. Prior to that, Peter served as Vice President of Client Solutions and Innovation with the Sunseap Group, which was acquired by EDP Renewables in 2022. Peter co-founded and ran his own green technology and construction start-up from 2010 to 2018. In his new role, Peter will be focusing on strategies for the enablement of decarbonization through NaviX’s provision of IaaS and regional expansion.

“I am excited to take NaviX through its next stage of growth,” said Peter Goh, Navix CEO. “We have a robust business model and a talented team that is uniquely and strategically positioned to capitalize on the fast-changing business landscape; further augmented by Schneider Electric’s first-in-class products and services in the areas of sustainability, electrification, secure power, controls and digitalization.

NaviX’s innovative IaaS model, complemented with its full suite of Operations & Maintenance (“O&M”)  services throughout the system’s lifecycle, seeks to address these challenges.

“NaviX Solutions was an incubation from Schneider Electric’s venture capital fund, SE Ventures. We are proud of the growth NaviX has seen under Simon’s leadership and are excited to support Peter as he spearheads what’s next for the company. Peter is uniquely positioned to accelerate NaviX’s “as a service” approach,” said Gregoire Viasnoff, Business Incubation VP of SE Ventures.

On 13th April 2021, Tuesday, we officially launched NaviX Solutions, a new innovative service that delivers a full end-to-end ‘as-a-service’ lifecycle business model for managing critical enterprise power and cooling assets. NaviX Solutions is a subsidiary of Schneider Electric (SE) and an outcome of a strategic partnership between SE and Singapore’s Economic Development Board (EDB).

Among the distinguished guests at the launch was Singapore’s Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat. We were met with enthusiasm and optimism as our first-to-market business model and innovations like the Unified Digital Platform (UDP) were featured.

"As a corporate venture, NaviX Solutions benefits from a strong entrepreneurial founding team that can drive growth with autonomy and agility, and at the same time, leverage the deep competitive advantages of Schneider Electric in energy management, customer networks and global scale."

Our aaS model addresses a growing business challenge in an increasingly digital economy.

In today’s digital-centric business world, managing power and cooling assets effectively has become vitally important. We are addressing a critical gap in digital economies, helping businesses move from a risky ‘break-and-fix’ model to a more strategic ‘manage-and-maintain’ one that supports business transformation and growth.

We have spoken to hundreds of businesses and realised that many organisations experience multiple challenges with critical power and cooling infrastructure. This can have a significant impact on businesses’ financials and their ability to manage customer success. Our role is to support businesses on the cusp of digital transformation keep pace with rapid market changes, while balancing the need to transform for sustainable  growth. At the same time, we are driving a mindset change, bringing more visibility to the role these critical assets play and how to maximise the value they deliver.

Under our asset-light model, we provide the option to buy back existing assets from a customer and then provide full lifecycle management, operational improvements and access to condition-based insights into how their assets are managed most sustainably and efficiently. This is supported by our UDP that introduces intelligence through an application layer that tracks, monitors and drives the efficiency of  critical power and cooling assets.

This end-to-end business model that can scale to solve a host of business complexities from planning and design, to building and operating power and cooling assets. It also delivers access to the necessary skills and capability with a single point of customer success management, along with TCO predictability. Our customers will also be empowered with the ability overcome challenges created by inflexible infrastructure that makes it hard to scale or transform with your business requirements. Essentially, it can unbind companies from heavy capex commitments and transition to an opex model while helping to modernise their infrastructure to stay agile, competitive, and more sustainable while reducing operational risk.

The aaS model enables businesses' digital infrastructure to scale with business growth.

Our model supports commercial innovation, sustainability and agility as businesses undergo digitalization. At the same time, it reduces risk and addresses the pain points and challenges with critical assets that are increasingly complex and important to a business’s day-to-day operations. We enable enterprises to keep up with rapid market and technology change and overcome challenges created by inflexible infrastructure where it’s hard to scale or transform.

With NaviX Solutions, businesses can stay agile, competitive and more sustainable in a digital economy.
