Eyeing an anticipated surge in the number of small and medium businesses in southeast Michigan, Clarity Quest Marketing and Vision Computer Solutions today announced a business development partnership to better serve companies in Oakland, Wayne, and Washtenaw counties.

Under terms of the partnership, the two firms will jointly market Clarity Quest's complete line of integrated marketing services -- including internet marketing, public relations, advertising and marketing strategy -- coupled with Vision Computer Solutions' business technology consulting and computer repair services.

"We see growth in the number of Michigan businesses that can be better served by outsourcing IT and marketing services said David Marino, president of Vision Computer Solutions. "This partnership meets these needs."

Small and medium-sized companies frequently find their resources stretched between the logistics of day-to-day operation and the need to grow their business, noted Christine Slocumb, founding principal of Clarity Quest Marketing. "Our combined capabilities deliver proven information technology and marketing services to growing businesses so they can concentrate their resources on honing products and services."
