RESULTS & BENEFITS

The art of bringing two incompatible systems together

When one of the world’s largest chemical companies appointed Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) to take over its Managed Service contract, HPE needed to complete a highly complex full-service global integration without its client providing any engineering support.

However when HPE was instructed that it couldn’t utilise its proprietary ITSM solution, it needed to find a way to integrate its HP Service Manager (HPSM) with its client’s existing SAP system. The big challenge was that these two systems were incompatible and unable to communicate with each other. Soitron was brought on board to handle the project on the behalf of HPE, and took on the challenge from start to finish.

With a tough challenge presented to them, Soitron was instrumental in leading this project and creating a realistic solution.
While understanding HPE was a real benefit, it was also the ability to problem solve and think out of the box that made this project a success.

An ITSM transformation programme like no other

REQUIREMENTS

  • Get the entire Royal Dutch Shell business migrated to the new, future-proof HPE
    platform
  • Find the right ITSM tools to migrate to the new HPSM platform as soon as possible
  • Achieve the migration without any negative impact to Shell’s Businesses

SOLUTION

  • Migration to both ITSM Toolsets and SOM (Storage Operations Manager) Archive
  • Lead the Shell transformation from start to finish in a limited time
  • Handle a massive data set, numerous interfaces to external systems, a vast range of internal and external stakeholders and through all this change and transition, maintain a seamless service

RESULTS & BENEFITS

Transition from staff augmentation to a service based model

Requirements

* A stable local partner who will participate in the start-up of a global IT centre and ensure recruitment as well as the overall flow of human resources;

* Continuous cost reduction and streamlining of services after the start of cooperation.

Solutions

* Change of contract from personnel leasing to a service model (the customer does not pay according to the number of employees of the centre but according to the amount of services used);

* Reduction of unit price of the provided services and quality improvement by increasing productivity, motivation, and commitment of external staff.

” While existing model was suitable for the early stage of the relationship it shortly
showed to be suboptimal to meet HP needs, as it did not stimulate the
environment of continuous productivity and quality improvements, neither it provided scalability and all that was critical for the overall success. As Soitron gained the deeper
knowledge of the HP environment, tools and processes, and become knowledgeable
of true HP needs we have decided to move out of the staff augmentation model towards service based delivery.
