Suburban Propane Completes ADD Energy Conversion

Nearly 1500 users, from 282 Suburban locations were trained, said ADD Systems' Cathie Tourtellot, vice president – projects. ADD Systems taught two 1-week courses prior to the conversion of each site. Suburban then provided on-site support staff at each location for the first two weeks after going live.

Suburban Propane's Micheal E.

I would like to acknowledge the efforts and contribution that our classroom coordinators and ADD Systems instructors have made over the last few years in preparing our folks for using the ADD Energy system."
