The challenge
Tackling a largescale transformation, Shell wanted to reduce its reliance on third-party labour and systems integrators to retain vital IP as well as reduce costs, create a more sustainable approach to hiring and training, fuel future capabilities and stay ahead of the curve.
The solution
Over two years, we utilized our combination of technical and business expertise to develop and deploy solutions across a wide variety of transformation areas. This included fixing and implementing fundamental IT solutions across the organisation and providing data-driven products for innovation in maritime, green energy, and trading.
The results
By working with Kubrick, Shell fully completely eliminated the risk of losing IP to third party contractors and consultancies and made significant cost savings compared to using traditional contractors and consultancies. Shell also ensured capabilities were future-proofed and removed immediate requirements to hire and train roles in data and AI by retaining all of Kubrick’s team as FTE employees.
