Driving Operational Excellence: Tallgrass Energy's Quorum Pipeline Transaction Management Transformation
Tallgrass Energy, a leader in midstream infrastructure, has significantly enhanced its operational workflows with the adoption of Quorum Pipeline Transaction Management. Ryan Moyle, Vice President of Gas Services at Tallgrass, shares how this powerful software has become integral to their success in streamlining processes, enhancing communication, and providing a platform for sustainable growth.

From Manual Processes to Streamlined Efficiency
When Tallgrass first implemented Quorum Pipeline Transaction Management in 2012, the journey was fast-paced and demanding. The company had to bring three natural gas pipelines onto the system in just nine months, under a tight deadline. “It was stressful,” Moyle recalls. But those early challenges paved the way for a more refined process in recent years.
With Quorum's systems now more organized and robust, and Tallgrass itself more mature in its operations, recent implementations have been far smoother. “Communication’s been a lot better. We work with specific project teams and know exactly who to reach out to for issue resolution,” says Moyle.
Quorum Pipeline Transaction Management: A Core Platform for Tallgrass
Across scheduling, billing, and contracts, Quorum Pipeline Transactional Management has proven its value. In scheduling alone, what once took hours now takes just 15 to 30 minutes. The billing functionality allows for creative and flexible commercial arrangements, and the centralized contract system has eliminated the need for disparate tools like Excel.
“What’s great is having all that functionality in one system,” Moyle notes. “It saves time and reduces the complexity of managing multiple platforms.”
Elevated Support with Quorum’s Managed Services
Quorum’s support infrastructure has also seen dramatic improvement over the past decade. Early frustrations have given way to highly effective partnerships. Managed services, in particular, have empowered Tallgrass to separate routine support issues from enhancement requests, simplifying workflows and speeding up critical resolutions.
“The managed services and support teams have built our confidence in Quorum,” says Moyle. “We know exactly who to call, and issues get resolved quickly.”
Future-Ready with Flexible, Scalable Tools
Looking ahead, Tallgrass anticipates evolving demands, such as a shift toward renewable energy and new commodities like hydrogen and CO2. Quorum’s flexible platform positions the company to capitalize on these trends with agility.
“Quorum Pipeline Transactional Management (QPTM) isn’t just a tool for today, it’s a foundation for tomorrow,” Moyle says. “It gives us the flexibility we need to grow and adapt.”
Why Tallgrass Recommends Quorum
With over a decade of collaboration, Tallgrass Energy stands as a strong advocate for Quorum’s solutions. “Quorum is easy to work with, flexible, and always able to find creative solutions,” Moyle affirms. “They’re more than a vendor, they’re a partner in our success.”
