February 22, 2024 marks ADD Systems’ 51st anniversary. As we turn the page from 50 to 51, we are excited to now be closer to 100 years old than the year ADD Systems began: 1973. We can’t wait for all our years to come!
ADD Systems’ 50th anniversary was another banner year for the company. We held our Business Tech Conference in May, and it was our most successful and attended business conference ever. Because 2020’s BTC was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there was extra significance of having this conference in beautiful Disney World. It was also an opportunity for the ADD User Group to hold its annual conference in person.
Throughout 2023, we continued to help our clients, old and new, get the most out of their ADD software, we added fifteen more employees to the ADD Systems family, we released hundreds of product enhancements to equip clients for the future, and we introduced a new product, ADD Energy Assist.
While there was much to celebrate in our 50th year, we mourned the loss of our founder, Bruce A. Bott. Bruce started ADD Systems in 1973 to revolutionize the energy industry. In doing so, he built relationships with his peers and community that lasted his entire life. As we step into our 51st year, we carry on the principles and vision that were made indelible by Bruce, leading us in all our years to come.
“As we begin 2024, we leave behind a year in which ADD Systems turned 50 years old,” COO and Senior Vice President Rob Culbertson said. “I’m so proud of the ADD Team, the ADD products, and everything that’s been accomplished so far and am looking forward to the future with great excitement and anticipation. This coming year, we will continue delivering new and better products and services to our customers to make them more successful and profitable. The deep experience of the ADD team, the products using the latest technologies, and the strong support of the ADD User Group will make Year 51 the best ever. I’d also like to recognize the 15th anniversary of the ADD User Group – the members of which have given so much to make us all better. Thanks!”
The founding of the ADD User Group is significant; it helps to facilitate communication and ensure that ADD Systems enhances its products in line with user expectations and industry needs. The AUG (ADD User Group) provides a community for ADD users to come together, share their ideas and best practices with each other, and utilize ADD products to their full potential.
“When I was first asked to share my thoughts on ADD Systems turning 51, I thought ‘Wow, what could I say about 51 that I didn’t say/feel when we reached the milestone of 50 last year?’” ADD Systems President Bruce C. Bott said. “It feels like this birthday shouldn’t matter as it doesn’t end in a zero or a five, but it does! Turning 51 means it’s one more year of experience, one more year as a leading software provider in this industry, one more year to create new relationships, and, of course, one more year to continue with relationships from the prior 50 years! Here’s to 51, 52, 53, 54 and so many more years of doing what we love!”
