"It's an enormous honor to be recognized for the second year in a row by SIIA but it's really the companies and individuals sharing data that make our database so uniquely robust and valuable," said Jigsaw CEO Jim Fowler. "We believe that value in data is knowing when it changes, which is why we feel the data sharing model and DaaS will continue to gain momentum, improving data hygiene on a global scale."

Every Jigsaw contact is complete with business phone number, email address, and information about their company's size, location, and industry. Most contacts even have hard to find direct dial phone numbers. Contacts are free on a unique give-one-get-one basis. For enterprises, Jigsaw Data Fusion provides data as a service by automating the process of acquiring and managing new sales prospect records for CRM and marketing automation systems through the cloud.
