Collaboration: Taking Mankind to the Depths of the Ocean

Since 2009, Stockton Rush and his team at OceanGate have strived to develop the most powerful subsea manned submersibles in the market. With the goal of revolutionizing deep-sea exploration, his team of professionals bring expertise covering a wide range of disciplines. From marine engineering to scientific data collection and sampling, they have a handle on developing customizable, safe and quality submersibles.
As OceanGate continues to grow, providing underwater vehicles to many sizeable clients, they use Smartsheet to manage the planning, development and deployment of their submersible assets, and to remain competitive within their market.
“With Smartsheet, we have the ability to present to a large company in a familiar, concise way that is updated regularly. Smartsheet is a key competitive advantage for us,” explained Rush.
Collaboration Helps to Stay Competitive
- Ease of Use When completing design reviews and analysis of the submersibles, the familiarity of the spreadsheet interface along with the Gantt chart feature, allows Rush to provide transparent visibility to large clients, without any training needed.
- Real-time Information With multiple stakeholders actively involved on each project, including vendors, OceanGate professionals and clients, it is important to have one location to find the most up-to-date information. Smartsheet allows Rush to open a sheet and see the actual status of each project and task.
- Remote Collaboration As with any multifaceted project, communication among stakeholders is essential for it’s success. With such widespread contributors, anytime, anywhere access to Smartsheet enables the appropriate parties to make updates to the project, no matter their location. Additionally, with the ability to attach documents to specific tasks, Smartsheet has become the central repository for all important documents.
