Salesforce Consulting in Austin | Abstrakt Solutions

Salesforce consulting for Austin companies

Abstrakt Solutions is a Salesforce Consulting Partner headquartered in St. Louis that serves Austin-area companies remotely and on site. We implement, integrate, optimize and manage Salesforce across Central Texas, and we do not have a Texas office.

Austin has been one of the country’s fastest-growing corporate destinations. Opportunity Austin, the chamber’s economic development program, counts more than 80 headquarters relocations to the region, second only to Dallas among U.S. cities, and 45 publicly traded companies headquartered here. Dell, Apple, Oracle, AMD, IBM, Whole Foods and Yeti are among the companies with corporate or regional headquarters in the Austin region.

Professional, scientific and technical services are the largest private sector, and wholesale trade is unusually large for a metro of Austin’s size. Opportunity Austin targets advanced manufacturing, semiconductors, aerospace and defense, life sciences, creative and digital media and corporate headquarters. The University of Texas at Austin anchors research, and the chamber highlights deep-tech companies such as Firefly Aerospace, CesiumAstro and Strangeworks.

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 Austin company.

Relocations and rapid hiring

Companies moving to or growing in Austin add sales and service teams quickly. Salesforce needs a data model and territories that will hold at twice the headcount.

Channel and partner sales

Hardware and consumer brands selling through distributors and retailers need partner visibility and clean account hierarchies.

Startups graduating to Salesforce

Venture-backed companies often move to Salesforce at their first big funding round; migrating carefully avoids years of cleanup.

Salesforce Health Check

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.
