Salesforce.com Is Busy Assembling The CRM Software Puzzle With Jigsaw
Posted by Jay Rivard on Wed, May 19, 2010
Salesforce has acquired JigSaw. Jigsaw Data Fusion provides automated data hygiene and management with unlimited access to millions of business contacts. And now that Jigsaw is a salesforce.com company, Jigsaw Data Fusion's power to keep your data clean and provide new leads will only get better!
Jigsaw has a reputation for having the most accurate and complete company data available. This is a perfect fit for most of us. I suspect that there will be a much tighter integration between Salesforce and Jigsaw and possibly some reduction in cost as well.
Here are some comments from Salesforce web site:
- "Salesforce.com is excited to bring the data services industry into the era of Cloud 2," said Marc Benioff, chairman and CEO, salesforce.com. "With Jigsaw, we'll make it as easy as Wikipedia to source data, as easy as iTunes to buy data and as easy as Facebook to stay updated as the data changes."
- "Companies are utilizing crowd-sourced data services in the cloud more than ever because it offers the best quality information," said Jim Fowler, CEO, Jigsaw. "This is an exciting opportunity for all of us at Jigsaw, and will help us accelerate our ability to bring cloud-based data services to a wider audience."
With Jigsaw Data Fusion you can:
- Turn previously unusable records into new leads.
- Stay on top of the changes to your business contact data by automatically synchronizing updates to individual or company records.
- Keep your pipeline full with unlimited access to fresh, accurate business leads.
