Praetor has been designed by computer professionals with experience in the wire and cably industry. We've seen the problems users have when using systems that are out there, and have designed this one to avoid them. One of Praetor's main goals is to balance the theoretical with the practical.

Byron R. Ball, President
Mr. Byron R. Ball has worked as the principal architect of the system since its conception. He has harnessed his variety of past experiences such as systems administrator and MIS director of process oriented manufacturing facilities with his collegiate accounting background and later related work experience in the formation of Praetor. Before co-founding Base Ten, he worked as the MIS director of a steel wire mill. In that time, he saw implementation difficulties with several of the current software packages supposedly "designed for" the industry. Discouraged, he designed a comprehensive and easy-to-use system himself with limited budget and manpower. He realized that a major need was being left unfulfilled in the industry, and that the technology being born at that time could be used to create an even more robust and powerful system. With this vision, he co-founded Base Ten and began work on Praetor.

Gregory R. Ball, Vice President
Mr. Gregory R. Ball assisted his father at a major wire manufacturer in the MIS department, and also experienced the frustration of trying to find a usable system for the industry. Together, he helped to design and implement Praetor. He is currently pursuing his Ph.D. in computer science at the University at Buffalo while working at Base Ten. His computer science research experiences in such areas as database systems and artificial intelligence afford him the opportunity to survey the world's newest technologies, thinking of how possibly to integrate them with Praetor.

Jason R. Ball, Vice President
Mr. Jason R. Ball joined Base Ten in 2001. In that time he has been a major factor in the installation, service, and support of Praetor in the field. His wide range of expertise in both computer software and hardware allow him to help integrate Praetor with clients' existant computer systems. He is also able to work directly with the customer to discover what their needs are in terms of setting up the backend hardware and systems necessary to run Praetor, ranging from discerning what basic computer systems and skills are necessary for an individual client to designing and integrating complex networking systems to work with Praetor.
