Shell has 65,000 properties around the world, ranging from offices to refineries
to gas and petrol stations. The associated risks vary greatly. Like many companies,
Shell is concerned not only with securing these facilities, but also with maximizing
every technology investment, including using access control systems for real estate
management and other business purposes. Having so many locations made it a challenge
for Shell to find consistency in its technologies and processes. The introduction
of a global IT infrastructure led to use of C•CURE 800, a security management
system from Software House.
Global application
Consultants were contracted to advise on selecting an application that would answer
the firm's business needs. For nine years, Shell used a combination of security
systems across the UK and the United States, including Software House's C•CURE
system and others. The company and its consultants saw the possibilities for making
access control uniform. One reason this system was selected was the company's ability
to provide global support, as part of Tyco Fire & Security. A few sites in particular,
including Sakhalin island off Japan and various ones in Nigeria, proved to be very
demanding environments that needed a worldwide partner to help with the security.
Software House provided the answer.
