Key Staff
 Byron R. Ball, President
Byron R. Ball Mr. Byron R. Ball has worked as the principal architect of the system for the past six years. 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 Ph.D., Vice President
Gregory R. Ball 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 has recieved a Ph.D. in computer science from 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.
