Nope, I am not from RCO. I am actually quite near littleway here and dinozilla I think but then no intentions to find out who they are or let them find out who I am.

Hahaha... I know a lot of Shell ppl visit lowyat forum frequently.

not just SITI but the whole GITI

SITI = SHELL IT Infrastructure

GITI = Global IT Infrastructure

Is it near the pantry?

quite close...quite close...

That's partially correct - SITI is Shell IT International and is a registered company. GITI is a global organisation as far as I know.

hahaha....

ok ...*OFFTOPIC*

The reason behind outsoucing is for the company (Shell) to concentrate on their core business and outsource non-core function which would be done more cost effective with higher efficiency. It is expected that some cost savings are realized in the long run and it is easier for the Company to only monitor the performance of the outsourced party through Service Level Agreement (SLA).

In most cases, it is almost like saying that after the outsourcing has been decided, the company do not want to retain the existing staff in the related services and as such would transfer them to the outsourced company. Therefore there would normally be a deal or arrangement that would be made between the outsourced party and the company to take whatever staff involved in the existing operations. Under normal practice, the staff who are required to be transferred should be offered similar terms if not better than the terms currently enjoyed. In many cases there will be few staff who would not want to accept the transfer but it is not known what kind of work they would do if the choose to stay in their existing company.

There are many success stories about outsourcing, i.e both companies, achieve win-win. However in other cases, the service tend to deteriorate and the company decide to terminate the contract and take back all the staff.

Therefore my advise is if you cannot choose to stay in Shell, then get the union to negotiate for a really good deal before signing any offer. It is common that the allowances previously enjoyed in Shell may not be offered by the new company, but in exchange the staff would receive higher salary like, say 25% to 50% or increase depending on which allowance is taken away. In any case it is best to negotiate thoroughly before agreeing to the transfer. Once you accept, then you are no longer Shell staff.


moral = IT is SHELL non-core business even they built infrastructure in SITI SHELL CYBERJAYA.SHELL always remain as oil&gas company, not IT company like Google or HP. Thus we have to accept their decision for outsourcing thingy.

SHELL only give permanent status to management ppl , oil&gas engineer, reservoir engineer , geophysicist engineer , geologist engineer and so forth .

EOF

What is interesting to me is that from reading and asking around, Shell seems to be the first big energy company that is going this route. ExxonMobil, BP, etc have not done IT outsourcing in a big way and are probably looking at Shell to see how good/bad this turns out to be.

IT is huge in oil and gas, no question about it. From trading to exploration to downstream. Screwing up is not an option, Shell already has problems recently in Sakhalin, Nigeria and with their reserves. I'm sure this outsourcing thing is going to be looked at very carefully.

Still, there's no way to know how it'll be on the individual level.

I believe outsourcing will be here to stay as it is a good reason for cost saving...Imagine, the company just need to pay a sum of amount and vendors will take care of everything. So, the company doesn't need to worry about staff union lah, staff benefits lah, staff turn around lah, and etc. If the appointed vendors cannot perform just appoint another vendors for the job..Petronas too already outsourced its IT department to iPerintis and the result seems quite promising

Well actually BP has most of it's IT already oursourced.

And I don't belive lower cost is a main factor - especially seeing the net profits of Shell.
