On September 1, Salesforce.com, the cloud computing company,
announced the release of Jigsaw for Salesforce CRM. Jigsaw is a
crowd-sourced business data service for Salesforce CRM
customers. Jigsaw will increase the demand for cloud-based data
services, according to Salesforce.
Jigsaw was built using salesforce.com technologies. It provides
a new user interface, analytics dashboards, seamless integration
and real-time updates of important business data with the use of
Salesforce Chatter. The general manager for Jigsaw, Kevin
Akeroyd, commented. He said, “CRM systems are only as good as
the information inside them. 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.”
Jigsaw is integrated with Salesforce Chatter, Salesforce.com’s
social collaboration tool. Jigsaw can instantly recognize
changes to important company data or contacts in Salesforce CRM.
It can also update records and publish changes through Chatter
in real-time. Jigsaw is ideal for business users because sales
representatives know when business contact data becomes bad
instantly. Jigsaw even has mobile capabilities, as its updates
can be received on the Apple iPhone or iPad.
Jigsaw is taking the cloud to the next level. It is the first
business data service that can keep up with sales or marketing
changes. It provides real-time updates as soon as data is
changed, keeping all employees updated at all times. Instead of
companies having to spend tons of money on data sourcing
services, they can use Jigsaw, which is an affordable solution
in the cloud. Jigsaw is inexpensive because it does not require
data management, backup, security, integration, storage or
updates.
The managing principal at Beagle Research Group, Denis Pombriant,
said, “In this economy, companies need more innovative sales and
marketing strategies and better business data.
Jigsaw for Salesforce CRM and Chatter provides them with
reliable business data that is updated and published to sales
and marketing employees in real-time. We’re likely to see more
companies turning to data in the cloud to support their dynamic
operations.”
Salesforce’s Jigsaw is now available to the general public. It
starts at $29 per user per month. Find out more about Jigsaw on
Salesforce.com.
