Our Mission

Raare is committed to the concept of "Customer Delight through Clear Thinking". We recognize the needs of our clients to meet business goals and expectations, and that technology is a mechanism to achieve that goal and not the goal itself. We are dedicated to rapidly evaluating our clients' needs and designing solutions and processes that "make sense". We do this with the highest standards of integrity, honesty and practicality, and are dedicated to building collaborative relationships with clients that are respectful, candid and congenial.

Raare Origins

Raare, Inc. (pronounced "rare") was founded in 1995 as Crestor Engineering, and was rechristened "Raare" in 1999 to reflect our outlook on uncommon ways of thinking. Raare reflects our philosophy and core strength in "Clear Thinking" -- solving problems in unique and creative ways. As technology "early adopters", principals Christopher Poulsen and Esther Poulsen are passionate explorers of how innovative technology tools can be used to solve real-world business problems. We couple our interest in technology with over four decades of business experience, including the financial, legal, health care, pharmeceutical, manufacturing, insurance, and high technology sectors.
