Ridgemont has been very supportive of the build-out and implementation of our proprietary tech platform, from recruiting the right talent to rolling out across our many locations. Our new technology platform is a bold investment, but it is strategic for the business, and Ridgemont encouraged us to keep pushing forward and brought a full suite of resources to ensure the success of the project.
