Huntersville, NC- October 7, 2008 The Advanced Technical Training Network (ATTN) www.advancedttn.com , an online blended learning portal for the Green Industry, is rapidly becoming known for helping companies improve their systems and reduce equipment related costs.

The ATTN System is designed to take an often overlooked part of green and tree care related organizations, which is preventive maintenance, and combines it with their “First Glance” diagnostics program. The results are reduced downtime, minimization of catastrophic failures, increased equipment longevity, and lower equipment related fuel costs. This easy to implement approach is a blended learning program that is not only a great management tool; it also takes the guesswork out of determining the overall health of a company’s outdoor power equipment.

“The ATTN System is designed to bridge the gap between various levels of expertise, and differing learning styles. Our members can access factory level training in the comforts of their business or at home,” stated Roger Simons, VP Technical Development for ATTN. “Often times companies think they are doing a thorough job when it comes to maintaining equipment, however 75% of what truly needs to be serviced is often overlooked. People do not realize that these types of failures can be prevented.”

Simons continues, “We are empowered by the response from our members who are seeing results, and testimonials like the following continue to validate our proven system.”

‘Over the past ten months our company participated in a pilot program for ATTN. This program included a thorough evaluation and analysis of our power saw operation and maintenance program. Several inefficiencies were uncovered and changes were implemented. Through participation in the ATTN pilot program, I recognized that our employees were not operating or maintaining their equipment in a consistent manner. It was also apparent that our maintenance program was lacking and needed a total over-haul… We are also recognizing an increase in the lifecycle of our chain saws. We are anticipating an overall reduction of chain saw expense between 15-20%.’ Jack G., Carolina Tree Care, NC
