Find out more about Barry the Robot.
Gary Hall was a man ahead of his time. He was one of the early pioneers who introduced computers to small businesses. It wasn’t easy as most people couldn’t see the transition being a benefit. Eventually, with time they came around to see the rewards.
They finally had a competitive edge and could compete with the bigger businesses!
Some years later Gary launched our then-new, Network Services Support Program as a fixed-price managed service. that operated 24/7 – 365 days a year.
To our small business owners, it sounded impossible for a team to work for 24 hours and not charge for all those costs!
So to make it more believable Gary gave our computer operating system a human name and persona. Enter Barry the Robot!
This explained how we could offer a fixed-priced service at a low price and offer 24-hour security for their systems. The engineers had a tireless systems warrior!
He offered a reporting system that allowed our team to:
Barry is retired now but he is always housed in his unique place of recognition at our office – Thank you, Barry.
Gary started his career in accounting and decided to enter the then-new IT market with an accountancy software package. This became the first of many services that Hall Computer Services has created since 1986. There was extreme push-back to this new idea of computers and business so the company embarked on a revolutionary plan to maintain a strong ethos of research and development to ensure our engineers were always accomplished and our clients weren’t left behind. 40 years later the company is still a trusted partner to our clients.
Dylan is a great example of the staff at Hall Computer Services. He has been an engineer with the company since 2010 and is now the Manager of the Operations Centre. His skills have been honed over time and his longevity with our legacy clients is invaluable for understanding the anomalies that can appear in networks that have been updated over time and fine-tuned for specialised change.
All clients love and trust him because of his ‘no problem’ attitude and his obvious knowledge of networking, software and all things IT.

Heinrich is our newest member of the team and in the short time he has been with us, he has managed to impress us with his strong determination to excel in the IT industry. He is currently studying at QUT to gain a Bachelor of Information but he equally absorbs all the training he is given through our mentoring program and the mandatory Hall Computer Services courses he must attain to be certified with Microsoft.
