Computerworld UK – Energy company Shell has completed a move to outsource all of its SAP-based HR and payroll application management services to Accenture.
Shell signed the multi-year deal in July 2011, to cover the areas of employee administration, self-service, environmental health and payroll.
The deal raises the question as to why the company chose to outsource the application management services, over going down the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) route. This may be explained by the existing relationship Shell has with Accenture, having worked with the consultancy in other parts of the business over the last 15 years.
