Established in 1995, IDS provides secure and scalable on-demand 'Software as a Service‚' applications for drilling/geological data reporting and supply chain services to the upstream oil industry. IDS' latest release - DataNet2 - makes full use of Web 2.0-compliant technologies and WITSML feeds to capture and deliver data via the web to unlimited users.

Covering the full lifecycle of the well and backed up with world-class 24/7 support, DataNet2 is divided into three broad categories all of which share a common database: Exploration and Production (DrillNet, GeoNet, ProNet, CostNet and SafeNet); Supply Chain Management (StockNet and CostNet) and Data Visualisation and Knowledge Management (VisNet). All services under DataNet2 have gone through stringent quality control tests.

With eight distinct product lines built on a 'Rich Internet Application' platform, each of the DataNet2 applications can be run on a standalone basis or as part of fully integrated suite of reporting services. The entire package is delivered reliably and securely across the web to any web-enabled device, anywhere, anytime.
