nominating EDS, AT&T, and T-Systems to take over the work.
EDS must be doing something right somewhere? -
well Shell has been having record profits in the last few years, how else they are going to top that this year?
btw: I thought International Business Morons were doing all of Shell's work... I bet they recommended the outsourcing to cut cost !!Comment

Should be quite a bit of contract work in a couple of years at Shell to sort out all the mess created by EDS et al.
All part of the Contractor -> Permie -> Outsource -> Disaster (-> Contractor...) business lifecycle.Cats are evil.Comment

Nowt new
Shell have been offshoring for a few years now. Their central IT group was rebranded GITI (Group IT Infrastructure or somesuch) back in '04, and it took some wag all of 30 seconds to come up with "Give IT to India" instead....
