CIO Philippe Malzac, said, ‘We chose Sogeti to provide the competencies and tools we need to transform our datacenters and applications. Our operations will be able to benefit from new technologies improving performance, responsiveness and cost-efficiency.’
Spirit covers Total E&P in France and certain subsidiaries
worldwide, with bilingual services provided in French and English.
Sogeti CEO Christophe Bonnard added, ‘This contract demonstrates our ability
to transform clients’ delivery models with the implementation of complex outsourcing
solutions.’ The contract will leverage Sogeti’s ‘Rightshore’ global delivery
model and includes business, geotechnical and reservoir engineering application
release and datacenter management. The service extends to Total’s major infrastructure
including FPSOs. More from Sogeti.
