It is hardly a surprise that we love data here at Salesforce Data.com. Our mission is to provide the best, most accurate information to our customers – and we’re able to do that thanks to our Jigsaw community and our D&B account data. Jigsaw is home to the world’s largest database of clean, complete contact information, but we’re looking to make it even better. With that, I’m proud to announce the launch of Data.com Connect – the new and improved site for our community.

We not only want to invest more in the community that serves as the backbone for our data offering, but we also want to bring the community closer to our Data.com product family for a more cohesive customer experience. Data.com Connect will serve as the best resource for up-to-date business contact information, freely accessible to all. Through our crowd-sourced data model, sales and marketing professionals have helped each other succeed – and now, through bringing Data.com Connect into the Data.com product family, it’s easier to get this data directly where and when you need it—either on the Data.com connect site or directly into your Salesforce CRM via Data.com Clean or Prospector.

Data is not just a buzzword, it’s a crucial component needed to grow your business. Data.com Connect is another step toward providing accurate data for all. We’ve always aimed to simplify all of that by providing access to quality, fresh data in the cloud, wherever and whenever you need it. We’ll continue to arm sales people and marketers with the information they need to reach those who matter most, just as we’ve done for years. Accurate, accessible data in the cloud connects the dots for you so you can
