Randy Hall

President, Worldlan Technology

Responsibilities or expertise/specialties:

Randy is the founder and President of Worldlan Technology and responsible for setting the long terms goals, business planning, and oversight of the day-to-day operations. However, as in most small businesses, Randy is a hands-on owner. (That is the polite way of saying he wears a lot of hats.)

Randy is also the Marketing Manager and Sales Manager, and until acquiring XL Systems in April of 2009, he was also the Service Manager. While Randy no longer carries a tool box, he has over 30 years of experience as a senior systems engineer with enterprise experience working with giants such as Novell and Microsoft. He can talk the talk because he walked the walk.

Randy is an author, a regular speaker and lecturer at major industry events and conventions, a member of numerous trade organizations and technology mastermind groups, and often instructs and mentors others business owners and managers in the Information Technology Industry.

In 2009, Randy won a 2009 XF Jaguar car in a national contest for marketing and best business practices called "Better Your Best" held by Robin Robins and The Technology Marketing Toolkit and was their official spokesperson for 2009.

Previous experience:

Worldlan Technology's founder, Randy Hall, entered the computer industry in 1976, before most were aware there was a computer industry. His resume lists companies such as Lanier Business Products, Harris Communications, OMC Electronics, and Haltronics Inc. As a founder and the president of Haltronics, Inc., he led the company to become the 5th company in the world to become an "Intel Authorized Service Providers", with the program later being renamed "Intel Premier Providers". By the spring of 2004, Haltronics Inc. was the oldest Premier Provider left in the world. In December of 2004, Hall made a decision to leave the consumer hardware market and concentrate solely on the business service market. To that end, he founded Worldlan Technology as a Managed Service Provider (MSP) that provides proactive service as well as reactive service, using the same tools that Fortune 500 companies had but small businesses could not afford. His vision is to bring the all the power and benefits of those enterprise tools to the small and medium business market, at a small business price.
