WTS Paradigm Corporate Headquarters But without promoting a culture of knowledge, there probably wouldn’t be much to promote. We’re knowledgeable about the industries we serve, that’s building products and software and technology, because our clients count on us. We need to be knowledgeable about their businesses, their goals and their products. We need to show our customers ways to drive revenue, minimize expenses, and use data in innovative ways to meet their objectives. For us, a culture of knowledge is as mandatory as a hinge on a casement. WTS Paradigm Corporate Headquarters Walk down any hallway at WTS Paradigm and you’ll run right into a brainiac. But not your run-of-the-mill brainiac. They’re not just smart, they’re caring. They care for the people they work with and they’re concerned about the customer. They volunteer in the community and they voluntarily beat the brains out of each other in Shuffle Board, Ping-Pong or at their very own Office Olympics. Visit us sometime and you’ll see what we mean.

Lyn Hartl founded WTS Paradigm in January 1999, and since then, has accumulated over 27 years of experience in the building products industry. Lyn has a degree in civil engineering and has spent the majority of his professional career in various engineering positions. Lyn started WTS Paradigm while working for a large window manufacturer where he served on the company’s software selection committee. He soon realized that many ERP systems were not capable of handling the complexities of the window and door industry where combinations and options were limitless and customization added additional complexities. He also understood that it was paramount for software developers and project mangers to know the industry, inside and out. Today, Lyn helps drive the vision for the company, while remaining interested in engineering details, and system operations and processes that will continue to save customers time and money. Lyn resides in Medford with his wife Wendy and seven children. He is passionate about the outdoors and enjoys fishing and hunting.
