SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--Sep 4, 2008 -- InsideView and Jigsaw today announced plans to deepen their partnership to further integrate data from Jigsaw's contact and company information directory into InsideView's flagship business search and intelligence application, SalesView. SalesView is one of the first true examples of a socialprise application, which through mash-ups is designed to scan subscription-based sources and the rich, unstructured information living on the social Web and deliver the meaningful insights salespeople need to increase results. The partnership is a leading example of innovation in the 'sales 2.0' industry, leveraging Web 2.0 technologies to help businesses reduce sales cycles and drive efficiency in customer acquisition.

Jigsaw is a leading provider of business information and data services that uniquely leverages user-generated content contributed by its global membership. Jigsaw's database contains valuable individual and company contact data, which is continually updated by its community of more than 450,000 active contributors. InsideView's proprietary technology leverages Jigsaw's data, as well as data from more than 20,000 other information sources, to provide relevant, fresh and complete sales intelligence within customer relationship management (CRM) applications or as a standalone application. InsideView will now integrate more of Jigsaw's nine million business contacts and one million company listings to bring additional value to SalesView users.

"Both Jigsaw and InsideView are at the forefront of transforming the way that sales and marketing organizations find sales opportunities and close deals faster," said Garth Moulton, co-founder and vice president of community for Jigsaw. "Combining Jigsaw's user-contributed data and InsideView's socialprise technology, sales and marketing professionals benefit from deep, dynamic and on-demand information in order to make deal-closing more targeted and efficient."

"The combination of these two applications is very powerful and raises the bar for the level of value that the next generation of web-based sales offerings can deliver," said Rand Schulman, CMO of InsideView. "Jigsaw and InsideView together offer sales and marketing professionals the ability to know just when a business opportunity arises and to have direct access to the right executives to close the deal."
