about us
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.
