Jigsaw Data Corp., a San Mateo, Calif., technology company that has operated a sales and customer service center in Post Falls, has moved that operation to space in Spokane Valley that most recently was occupied by General Dynamics Itronix Corp.

The move, which apparently took place earlier this month, was announced informally at Greater Spokane Incorporated's annual meeting here last week, though Jigsaw declines to elaborate on the move.

Jigsaw has taken 50,000 square feet of space in the Pinecroft Business Park, at 12825 E. Mirabeau Parkway, in Spokane Valley, says a source who asked not to be named. Jamie Traeger, a leasing agent for JMA Commercial Real Estate, which manages the park, says Jigsaw subleased the space from General Dynamics Itronix, a manufacturer of rugged laptop computers and handheld devices that closed its operation here in 2009. Kiemle & Hagood Co., of Spokane, handled the sublease.

Jigsaw moved from 8,600 square feet of space in the Riverbend Commerce Park, in Post Falls.

"We're a company that has been in this area since 2005. We're a business contact and information data company that was recently acquired by salesforce.com," Jeff Davenny, manager of corporate sales with Jigsaw told the GSI audience in an impromptu announcement. "We're very excited to be joining the community of businesses in Spokane."

Salesforce.com, of San Francisco, is a customer relationship management software company. Davenny called Jigsaw "a little piece of the Silicon Valley in the Inland Northwest."

Rich Hadley, president and CEO of GSI, said at the organization's meeting that Jigsaw will provide "north of 100 jobs" at the General Dynamics site. "They're already there. The name's on the building, and we're really pleased to have worked with them through this process," he said.

Says Gary Mallon, GSI's technology industry manager, "This is a globally-recognized technology company that's going to provide careers for both Idaho and Washington citizens. This is precisely the type of company that GSI has identified as wanting to have here."

He adds, "They will be adding to the tax base of the city of Spokane Valley, and they're filling a beautiful facility that's been dormant for a considerable amount of time."
