Shell waves goodbye to 3,000 IT staffers in $4bn outsourcing gig

Thumb Up

Of course Shell should outsource

Shell is an energy company. Shell is not an IT company. While I hold the highest regard for shell IT staff, I still think it is a good idea for shell to outsource. Outsourcing will enable Shell focus more on their core mission : energy. As long as they can get the outsourcing relationship to work (yeah, thats the hard part), i think its a brilliant idea.

[Let me now duck before i submerge under the expected avalanche of insults and criticism for this contrarian view]
