LogicaCMG secures IT services partner status with Shell

SAP implementation in 10 European countries

LogicaCMG today announced a new master service agreement with Shell International.

The first project under this agreement, worth up to 20 million Euros over the next two years, will be the implementation of a SAP solution to help standardise the operational processes within Shell Europe Oil Products. The implementation will cover the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Norway, Finland and Denmark with central support in the Netherlands.

LogicaCMG can take part in all relevant tenders the oil company puts out worldwide; this is part of Shell’s strategy to develop and implement software solutions on an international scale to meet the global needs of the Group. Both Logica and CMG already have a good track record at Shell, based on their know-how and the prompt execution within budget of ICT assignments. The decisive factor for the framework agreement was the improved geographic spread of the merged LogicaCMG.

Jos Steeman of Shell Europe Oil Products, responsible for business process standardisation said: “Standardisation and simplification of our processes and systems in a cost effective manner is more important than ever. We have therefore initiated a programme to achieve these objectives in Europe. LogicaCMG has given us consultancy and programme services in the past and we are convinced that they will be an excellent business partner to us for the future and therefore will help us to achieve our ambitions.”

LogicaCMG’s strong track record at Shell is based on successful SAP projects and the outsourcing of Application Management Services (AMS). Under the strategic cooperation agreement, LogicaCMG will provide Shell with even more extensive services.
