Explorer Pipeline

Testimonial - Russ Martin, Manager Asset Records & GIS

Explorer Pipeline Company evaluated several 3rd party MOC applications and chose Gateway Group Consulting as Explorer’s MOC vendor. Little did Explorer know at the time, but our selection proved to be a greater solution for our new MOC System than expected. Gateway’s product is totally a SharePoint solution and fit really well within Explorer. They have a great SharePoint application, user friendly and common sense logic. Also the knowledge provided by Ray Laqua (assigned to our project) was as much engineering based as software based. Not only did Gateway satisfy the need for a better MOC application, but Ray provided excellent engineering guidance to assist Explorer in implementing an API 1173 recommended practice MOC solution to Explorer. As project manager responsible for development and implementation of Explorer’s MOC System I do not think we could have found a more qualified person to work with.
