Randall has been involved in the IT industry since the mid 1970’s and
became a software development professional in 1980 when he joined Facet Data
Inc. in Montreal as a software developer. With direct mentoring from the
President, a Concordia University professor, Randall became adept at building
robust, long-term solutions for Facet’s clients. Moving to Toronto in 1982 to
study at the University of Toronto specifically to gain strong theoretical
understanding of Computer Science, Randall linked up with Vericom Systems Ltd.,
as a programmer/analyst. With that company, Randall was involved in the
development of: a database-engine; bank funds transfer system; satellite
communications; and data encoding. As well, Vericom afforded Randall the
opportunity to act as a user-liaison for an on-air election forecasting and
tabulation system for a TV network.
At University of Toronto, Randall did two undergraduate thesis papers in
programming language design and change management of database structures.
In the mid 1980’s Randall moved into the independent consulting world,
providing software development and training services to banks, pharmaceutical
companies, and software development firms. On one security analyst contract,
with Data Design Systems
Inc., Randall identified a significant market opportunity to DDS management.
This began a decade long relationship.
As Director of Client Services, and Director of Product Management, Randall
played a lead role in the overall strategy for the configuration management
product set for DDS on the Tandem
NonStop™ Kernel (now HP) platform, including supporting facilities.
Key products Randall that was directly involved in developing and managing
include: The Revision Management System (RMS - now PrimeCode™), Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP), and Remote Procedure Call (RPC).
In 1998, Randall resumed his consulting business including contracts as
architect and database administrator for Victoria’s
Secret Stores (VSS) data warehouse implementation. Working with the business
analysts in the VSS group to deal with rapidly changing requirements, Randall
got the push he needed to found Nexbridge Inc. to foster the Product Management
approach as a communications vehicle between users, developers, and senior
management. He continues to be an active participant on Nexbridge service
delivery teams.
