Abstrakt Solutions is a Salesforce Consulting Partner headquartered in St. Louis that serves New York-area companies remotely and on site. We implement, integrate, optimize and manage Salesforce for organizations across the New York metro, and we do not have a New York office.
Where we are: New York is a short flight from St. Louis. We work on Central Time, one hour behind, and schedule sessions within Eastern business hours.
The New York Market
The New York business landscape.
- Metro population, 2025
- 20.11 million U.S. Census Bureau
- Metro GDP, 2024
- $2.44 trillion U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis
- Business establishments, 2023
- 562,802 Census County Business Patterns
Figures cover the New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ Metro Area (NY–NJ). Sources are listed at the bottom of this page.
The New York metro is the largest economy in the country by every measure we track: population, output and number of business establishments. Finance and insurance account for roughly a fifth of its output, the biggest share among the markets we cover. JPMorganChase opened its new global headquarters at 270 Park Avenue in October 2025, Pfizer is headquartered at Hudson Yards, and Northwell Health is New York State’s largest private employer.
Professional services and the information sector, which includes media, publishing and software, are the next largest private sectors. The NYC Economic Development Corporation’s innovation priorities are life sciences, the green economy, technology and creative sectors, and the state targets financial services and insurance. Cornell Tech, the Cornell and Technion partnership on Roosevelt Island, says it has launched more than 100 startups since opening in 2012.
Industries
Where Salesforce fits in New York’s economy.
The metro’s largest private sectors by share of 2024 GDP (excluding real estate and government), and how Salesforce applies to each.
Finance and insurance
at least 19.3% of metro GDPAsset managers, banks, insurers, brokerages and fintech firms need client and household views, onboarding, supervised communications and service. Financial Services Cloud and careful sharing and audit design are the usual foundations.
Professional, scientific, and technical services
10.0% of metro GDPLaw, consulting, advertising and accounting firms manage relationships across partners and practices. Salesforce helps when client history, pursuits and referrals are shared rather than kept in individual inboxes.
Information
at least 8.8% of metro GDPMedia, publishing and software companies run advertising, subscription and enterprise sales motions that need quoting, renewals and customer data in one place.
Health care and social assistance
7.6% of metro GDPHealth systems and life-sciences companies use Salesforce for patient engagement, referral management, field teams and service, designed around privacy requirements.
Regional target sectors: Life sciences, Green economy, Technology, Creative sectors, Financial Services and Insurance (statewide target industry) (NYC Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) - Innovation Industries)
Common Challenges
Salesforce problems we expect to see here.
Based on the industry mix above and our work in those industries, not on inside knowledge of any New York company.
Regulated client data
Financial firms need record access, communications and marketing that stand up to compliance review, and a clear audit trail for who saw what.
Relationship knowledge in people’s heads
In partner-led firms, the most valuable relationship data lives in inboxes and calendars. Activity capture and simple layouts get it into the system.
Many systems, many business units
Large organizations often run several CRMs or orgs. Consolidation or clean integration is frequently the first project.

Salesforce Implementation Rescue
Salesforce implementations usually fail for a handful of reasons: requirements that were never agreed, a design built around the tool instead of the process, poor data migration, too much custom code, no owner on the client side and too little training.
