Fairwinds wasn't in need of a large-scale project to rewrite its systems and electronic marketing campaign. They needed a business partner that was willing to take the time to learn something about Fairwinds operating model and then make cost effective suggestions with specific goals in mind. ARiSAR delivered those solutions in addition to gaining a potential long term relationship with another satisfied customer. Ferguson claims that's because, "ARiSAR has a tried and true attitude about our customers. We don't recommend unnecessary products and services.

I feel there's always a happy medium between quality and price."

In spite of the declining hospitality market, the extended stay sector still shows strength as travelers opt for prudent accommodations. In addition to packaging and planning, Charter is in negotiations with ARiSAR to provide project managers for some of these real estate projects.

Valeo uses the template approach to make Web site development easy, quick and inexpensive. Their product line includes nearly every tool you might need to develop an effective Web presence including email, descriptive pages and, most importantly, shopping carts for e-commerce. Johnson is another ex-employee of the popular Hydrogen Media however that isn't where he met the founders of ARiSAR, Mike Beatty and Tom Ferguson. Johnson met Beatty years ago when Johnson was developing software for the automotive industry and Beatty was consulting for the Toy Store, the exclusive Corvette dealership also located in Largo.

Based on Beatty's business successes and staying in contact through the years made it a natural selection for Johnson's new company, Valeo, to choose ARiSAR as its consultant to organize and grow this venture.
