New York City built its reputation on being “the city that never sleeps.” For decades (and perhaps longer), New York has been the place to be for anything, and, well ... everything. Whether it was nightlife, food, culture, or something less glamorous (like telecommunications), the Big Apple tempted individuals and businesses alike to take a bite.
After finding a few worms in the apple, though, many enterprises started looking across the river. In the 1990s, New Jersey saw an influx of financial services that moved their data operations to the Garden State, a trend which continued to grow in the wake of 9/11 and Hurricane Sandy.
