I hear all of IT will separate from ConocoPhillips and be in sourced as InfoSys employees.

Any news on this front? I haven't heard much from whatever effort was happening at end of last year/beginning of this year?
When you have an incompetent Indian leader who's pro India and doesn't know anything about how business actually runs all that person can do is support back home. I really wonder what this person talks about with peers????
@79n There is another team in India visiting these shops as we speak! Not sure what they have up their sleeves.
Indian IT shops. The culture in certain corp IT teams became so toxic. They laid off none Indian employees, and only hired Indian candidates from outside too. Was wondering how can they get away with that behaviors?
A lot of P66 gets handled by CapGemeni in India. None of this is new. You still have to have someone onshore to manage all the outsourced work and translate. All the surviving people at P66 that had most of their department outsourced but were kept around were thrown into a pillar called AES. Their job is basically to manage the outsourced contract.
Gawd this company is AWFUL
@2ce to ease the transition in this journey, they can start by insourcing or rebadging. Basically moving IT folks from COP to InfoSys payroll, whacking much of their benefits and thus saving the host company money along with infusing some India labor in America. Once that takes hold then they start to transition more and more work to India over coming years. This eases the brute force outsourcing and softens people’s minds to the idea
Pray against it
Why would they bother with floor space in Bartlesville for outsourced resources working from India?
Maybe this is why POB 9
In Bartlesville is locked down. Maybe they are going to remodel to outfit the outsourced people.
ExxonMobil did it years ago. Except for executive IT support. They have a two tier system. Executives have the old model still but everyone else has to use the Indians.
They could also reduce IT costs by not requesting so many new applications - many of which are redundant with existing applications. They could embrace an out-of-the-box philosophy instead of paying for hundreds of custom application changes.
They could start screening application/system requests and requiring business justification for the spend.
If they outsource to InfoSys, they will have to start tracking the cost of their IT requests. But they should already have been doing that…
Ge-z…the Infosys Calgary office is in the same building as COP. That’s gotta make for some awkward elevator rides.
So glad I got a package and don't have to deal with this drama and uncertainty.
@1dv - Thanks for the reply. Hope it all works out for the best of our employees.
@1de there is no deal on anything yet. This is only one of MANY options on the table. Options much broader than this - insource, outsource, centralize internally in low cost operation center, automate with AI with current workforce, etc.
I don't work in IT, is this story for real? I do not mean to appear disrespectful, if true this will impact us all and not in a good way.
Yep - and it su-ks because InfoSys doesn’t have a VCIP nor a pension…. It’s gonna take some adjustment.
If you’re in IT you already know this and layoffs will occur late this year through March of 2027.
That’s the McKinsey playbook. Not surprised.
I’ve actually heard that as well from a fairly (but not totally) reliable source.
