What is C4C?
Client for Contractors (C4C) is a new Shell IT service developed to allow contractors access to selected Shell
applications and services using their company-provided laptop, working inside or away from Shell offices.
Contractor staff can access Shell IT resources - Web and Win32 applications, Functional Mailbox (OWA), File
Shares and Network Printers - via a secure web portal, directly from their company supplied computer anytime
and anywhere.
C4C service is an alternative to GI, not a straight replacement. Shell provides the gateway to the contracting
company to access Shell resources with access configured based on the direct needs of each contractor. Shell
provides no software license, hardware, email, storage or associated ‘full’ GI-D offering to the contractor. The
ultimate goal of the C4C service is to reduce the reliance from the contracting company on the use of Shell IT
infrastructure and support services. It is expected that Shell contracting companies will have support and
maintenance services available for their staff as Shell will only support connectivity to the SSL/VPN gateway on
the Shell network.

associated support

applications only
