salesforce.com has announced the arrival of Jigsaw for Salesforce CRM, an entirely new crowd-sourced business data service exclusive to Salesforce CRM customers. Built leveraging native salesforce.com technologies, Jigsaw provides a seamless integration, a new user interface, robust analytics and delivers real-time updates to contact and company information within Salesforce CRM through Salesforce Chatter.
Kevin Akeroyd, General Manager, Jigsaw, said, "With Jigsaw for Salesforce CRM, customers can be alerted to changes in contacts through Chatter in real time. This degree of operational agility is only possible with Jigsaw’s data in the cloud."
With Jigsaw, Salesforce CRM Customers can unlock the Value of Real-Time Data and customers can use the new user interface to quickly access the accurate contact information within Salesforce CRM. In addition, Jigsaw for Salesforce includes two new analytics dashboards that customer can use to monitor the overall health of data and report on usage. Jigsaw also provides customers with capabilities like real-time status updates around how much data is being actively managed by Jigsaw, and visual reports on how much data is correct, out-of-date or dead in the data graveyard.
Until Jigsaw, the market did not have a business data service that supported the pace of change across sales and marketing operations or delivered updates as data changed. Since Jigsaw is delivered entirely in the cloud, customers are liberated from legacy data sources that require expensive and complex data management, including storage, backups, security, updates, and integration.
