Our Founder: James M. Harn

Global Software, Inc. was founded by the late James M Harn. Jim had many years of experience in the coal, aggregate, waste management, and asphalt industries before founding Global. While working in the coal industry as an accountant, Jim developed software written in DB2 that was the forefather of our current software. He was also the first president of Automation Services, Inc, a company he and others purchased from Ashland Oil in the early 90's. ASI developed aggregate, asphalt, and waste management software from Ashland's partially developed coal software. This experience enabled Jim, after leaving ASI, to put together a team of programmers and hardware personnel, that over the years, has filled the need for quality, robust, and above all else, easily changeable software. Jim passed away in January of 2014. His philosophy of always taking care of the customer will remain with us as we continue forward in to the future. Rest in peace Jim...
