scanR and Jigsaw Make It Easy to Share Business Card Information

scanR, Inc. (www.scanR.com), which enables camera phones and digital cameras to scan, copy and fax, announced today that it has entered into a partnership with Jigsaw®, Inc. (www.Jigsaw.com), that will make it easier for people to enter business card information into their Jigsaw accounts. People will be able to snap photos of business cards using their camera phones or digital cameras, send them to scanR and get the contact information automatically entered into their Jigsaw accounts. 

The scanR Business Cards service will be publicly available this fall, as it is currently undergoing private beta testing. The scanR Business Cards service will support automatic transfer of business card information into popular electronic contact managers, including Microsoft Outlook and Jigsaw.

“scanR is a great additional service for the Jigsaw community, which is already adding over 12,000 contacts per day.  Easing the process of entering business contact information through scanR’s technology will dramatically contribute to the growth of our database, now over 3.5 million contacts strong,” said Jim Fowler, Chief Executive Officer of Jigsaw.

Jigsaw is an online business contact marketplace where marketers, recruiters, and sales professionals can buy and trade fresh and accurate business contact information. 

“Jigsaw is a truly innovative service for salespeople. Like many Internet services, its power is unlocked when people are freed from having to type a lot of information.  scanR will provide a simple way for people to transfer information from paper directly into their favorite services,” said Andrew Laszlo, President of scanR.

Jigsaw is an extremely creepy company, and it is dissapointing to see ScanR working with them.

Jigsaw makes me angry.

I think this is a great idea. Makes it much easier to use Jigsaw, and keeps the Scanr technology in my mind.

Jigsaw is a great service. I have no idea why you would call them creepy. I have interacted with their customer service several times since I signed up, and they are really professional and helpful. The concept that I am getting good sales leads is not creey, it's fantastic.
