Some of the most successful companies in the world, not to mention the wealthiest, have locations in Boston. Naturally, if you are a business-to-business consulting agency, the city is going to be a highly appealing destination. Recently, international leader in business and technology consulting, Acumen Solutions, announced the opening of its new Boston office.Acumen decided to open the office in part because of a need for a support location for its New England-based customers, and in part because of a major deal the company signed with the City of Boston’s Department of Neighborhood Development. Acumen will be implementing “a Salesforce.com cloud computing solution” to allow Boston’s Office of Business Development (OBD) to more easily and effectively connect with the city’s small businesses and to ensure enhanced transparency.

“By setting up a Boston office, Acumen Solutions is adding to the city’s already strong economy and bringing new jobs to the area,” Rafael Carbonell, Deputy Director for the Department of Neighborhood Development’s Office of Business Development explained. “The cloud computing work that they are doing for us will help us to better serve our constituents in Boston’s small business community.”
Once complete, the OBD will integrate its Salesforce.com data with the Salesforce.com data of Boston Main Streets and of the Boston Redevelopment Authority (BRA). Saleforce.com is a subscription-based, customer relationship management (CRM) program, which is used to track and share information about current customers and potential leads. Once fully integrated, the program is known for its ease of use.
“Boston is a great city and we are proud to be opening a Boston office, w
hich will strengthen support for our client base in the New England area,” said David Joubran, CEO of Acumen Solutions. “Boston has many Global 1000 enterprises in sectors that we serve such as financial services, insurance, healthcare, government, technology and education. In addition to creating jobs, Acumen Solutions will provide a breadth of business strategy and technology solutions for those large enterprises in New England who are leading the way in more effective IT delivery.(Image courtesy: salesforce.com)Presently, Acumen is actively seeking to hire CRM Configuration Analysts to staff its new Boston location. Furthermore, the company has expressed that it will likely post additional jobs over the next few weeks as it becomes more established in its new location.
It seems that Acumen’s decision to open a Boston location will serve not only to strengthen its own infrastructure, but also that of the city, considering the company will use its services to integrate the OBD’s data with Salesforce.com. The new, leading-edge jobs that Acumen will bring with it into the Bay State are, of course, another great perk.
