[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Schneider Electric, one of the leaders in digital transformation of energy management and automation, and Wiztopic, the publisher of a new platform solution for communication teams announced the expansion of their partnership. Schneider Electric has been using Wiztopic’s communication platform since 2017 to distribute their content in a secure, compliant way. Schneider is now implementing Wiztrust, a certification platform powered by Wiztopic. This platform utilises blockchain technology to address the growing problem of fake news in the corporate and financial world. “Digital technologies are transforming age-old practices of communications and information, while blurring the lines between facts and fictions. That doesn’t mean audiences are any less discerning. It more means we, journalists and communicators, have a duty in authenticating and vetting our contributions and sources to prevent them from fake news,” explains Becky Edwards, Schneider Electric Chief Communications Officer. “By adopting Wiztrust, Wiztopic’s blockchain certification platform, Schneider Electric shows that digital is the most efficient way to become a trusted and secured source for its stakeholders.” Wiztrust allows companies to easily certify the announcements they distribute to press, investors and analysts. Corporate communications and investor relations professionals use the platform to generate a unique fingerprint for their content. Recipients can then verify the content’s authenticity by a quick “drag and drop” on Wiztrust.com. “With the increasing sophistication of digital, audio and video technologies, fake financial news is easier to create and harder to detect,” said co-founder Raphaël Labbé.
