PIMS

PIMS (Project Information Management System) is best described as a concept for information sharing and storage in projects. It is designed to satisfy management information needs, as well as meeting project requirements for detailed data capture. PIMS includes functionality for both technical and commercial information, and benefits from the ability to produce joint reports. It supports use across traditional organisational interfaces and promotes interaction between multiple parties in a project.

Implementation

PIMS is specifically designed for implementation through custom fitting. Its basis consists of a data model, definitions and philosophy. Client needs defined through roles and responsibility, business practices and project requirements are incorporated using additional connected registers, reporting and terminology. The PIMS concept is highly scaleable, and fits multi-billion NOK oil field developments.
