ARC Solutions is one of the many AMS vendors that I track (full disclosure: one of my clients uses them for their AMS). So I was intrigued and pleasantly surprised to hear that ARC has secured $2 million in venture capital funding to support the roll-out of their new product Polaris. I've seen an early demo of the product and it looks promising. ARC is selling it in a SaaS model (see salesforce.com as an example) so the pricing could be very association-friendly.
I'll be keeping an eye on the product and the company and will report back when I've learned more.
I am interested in knowing more about ARC and their stability and reliability as a company and their products/services. They haven’t been around to long and if you have information or could tell me where I can read some reviews of their work I would appreciate it. Thank you!
Thelma, I’m unaware of any reviews on ARC or any other AMS vendor.
I may be able to help you on a consulting basis. Please take a look at my website, in particular this page: http://effectivedatabase.com/remote_consulting_services.shtml. I’ve worked with several associations using one of these two options.
I too am interested in knowing about their stability and reliability as a company and services.
