Jigsaw Press Release

SAN MATEO, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Enterprises continued in 2007 to find significant value in adopting the technologies, products and services that have grown out of Web 2.0, according to Gartner.(1) Among the Web 2.0 innovations being employed in the enterprise is Jigsaw (www.jigsaw.com), the online directory of business contact and company information built by and for its global membership, which announced that more than 400 companies are now using one or more of the Jigsaw enterprise solutions introduced in Fall 2007. The launch and adoption of Jigsaw Enterprise Solutions contributed significantly to the growth of Jigsaw’s membership community, which saw its number increase by 165 percent over the previous year.

“Enterprises are rapidly realizing the benefit of blending Web 2.0 applications with their legacy productivity tools,” said Jim Fowler, co-founder and CEO of Jigsaw. “Jigsaw’s new enterprise solutions dovetail perfectly with CRM and SFA systems to provide the most up-to-date business contact information available, thanks to the collective contributions of its many members.”

The fast-growing Jigsaw community is responsible for a 45 percent increase since the start of 2007 in the number of business contacts in the directory, which now includes more than 7.4 million contacts at more than 600,000 companies. Each month, Jigsaw’s community of users contributes hundreds of thousands of updates to Jigsaw’s directory of business contacts. Enterprise clients and business professionals leverage Jigsaw’s data to drive their company’s efforts in sales, marketing and recruiting.

In Fall 2007, Jigsaw announced its enterprise solutions Jigsaw Clean, Jigsaw Lists and Jigsaw Team. Each of these solutions focuses on dynamically utilizing and delivering the most accurate business contact information available.

Jigsaw Clean

Jigsaw Clean, a subscription-based service that automatically and regularly cleans, maintains and builds the data in corporate CRM systems, periodically scans a company’s CRM database in order to update and augment contacts with the most up-to-date information including direct-dial phone numbers, email addresses and titles. It finds, flags, and deletes dead records by comparing the database to records in the Jigsaw graveyard, currently numbering more than one million contacts. Jigsaw Clean also automatically identifies and removes duplicate records.

Jigsaw Lists

Jigsaw Lists provides companies with self-service, affordable access to a broad range of business contacts in order to create targeted lists for multi-channel B2B marketing campaigns. With Jigsaw Lists, a company can build custom lists from Jigsaw’s online directory, which includes more than half a million accurate contacts at Fortune 1000 companies. To support telemarketing, direct marketing, and email marketing campaigns, each contact in Jigsaw Lists is complete with name, title, mailing address, and email address; 70 percent also include direct dial phone number.

Jigsaw Team

Sales professionals, marketers and recruiters use Jigsaw Team, a subscription-based service, to acquire business contact data in bulk from Jigsaw and then share it across their teams, increasing the value of their prospecting with more accurate data for the entire team. Jigsaw Team taps into Jigsaw’s online directory to import contacts into leading CRM systems.
