employees. The company has expanded beyond the ISP market by acquiring
Habañero, a web development firm, and Influence, a marketing, communications,
public relations and branding company. Semaan believes the company’s
success can be attributed to the dedicated employees as well as
other opportunities that have helped the company grow. Semaan expects
Access US/Habañero to have more than 50,000 subscribers and 150
employees a year from now. The company recently bought subscribers

www.interlockresources.com
On the FAST 50 list for the second year, Interlock Resources offers
program management office services and staff augmentation to clients
throughout the metro area. The company works with clients to create
proprietary software that solves the client’s business problem.
Wayne Haar says having the IT savvy is important, but “being focused
on the people-side of technology makes this a relationship business
more than a pure IT
business.” Strong relationships with our clients and our consulting
staff, he says, have helped the company manage the economic slowdown
with relative ease. Haar says the shake out in the IT staffing business
with bankruptcies, mergers and acquisitions will benefit Interlock
when the economy recovers. “We’ve been focusing on employee retention,
keeping our overhead in line and maintaining our client relationships
during this downturn,” Haar notes. He says the company will be ready
when clients resume their IT projects.
Interlock services clients in numerous industries such as insurance,
manufacturing, health care, retail, transportation and financial
services. Interlock ranked as the second-fastest growing company
last year on the FAST 50.
