Technology Outsourcing in the Oil Trading & Transportation Sector

Taurus Petroleum Ltd trades, transports and processes crude oil on a world-wide basis. The company ranks amongst the world's top sour-crude traders with volumes in the multi-billion dollar range. The group's customer base includes major oil companies such as Exxon, Shell, BP, Agip, and Total and its business is centered on Central America, the Middle East and Russia.

With its heavy reliance on technology to support its core activities of finance, administration and trading, Taurus decided to outsource its entire Geneva IT infrastructure to Safe Host.

Safe Host began its engagement with an IT audit of Taurus' Geneva campus followed by a full alignment of their desktop and server environment. Today Safe Host provides day-to-day user care, server administration, security management and a disaster recover infrastructure for the group.

Taurus Petroleum Ltd has benefited from a cost effective solution for the management of its IT infrastructure maintaining zero downtime of its Geneva systems.
