At Intelligent Mud Solutions (IMS), we’re all about pushing boundaries with our autonomous technology providing  real-time drilling fluid analysis.

Being a small start-up company, it was important to find a PLM system that would organize our documents and project management.  As a new company the challenge was made more complex as our procedures and processes still were evolving and we needed a system that could be adapted to our internal demands and those of our clients. That’s when we found Highstage.

Why Highstage?

Our search for a suitable PLM system highlighted several gaps in how we handled our project, design and operational documentation and data.

We needed a solution that offered a reliable and scalable document control, streamlined risk management, and provided effective project management—all in one place.

Our CTO had some experience working with Highstage from an earlier association, and his experiences suggested that Highstage would provide most of what we needed and could be adapted to fit our remaining needs.

The fact that Highstage did not use a proprietary file system but utilized the in-built Microsoft system was a large benefit, as most of existing documentation could be retained.

Smooth Implementation

Implementing Highstage marked a significant milestone for us.

With support from Highstage’s responsive customer service team, the setup was quick and seamless. The onboarding process was smooth, and we appreciated the guidance we received at every step.

Over time we learned how to use built-in features and develop solutions that better fitted our way of working. Of course, there were a few bumps along the way, but overall, the experience was positive. Despite these minor setbacks, we successfully integrated Highstage into our daily operations.
