New, single platform for LexisNexis
LexisNexis Group is rolling out a single global technology platform that will deliver its information products and services in the United States and worldwide. In addition, the company will begin releasing enhanced news and business research and business intelligence products on the new platform to companies and information specialists in Germany in early 2004.
The company reports its new platform allows LexisNexis’ local businesses to benefit from its Web technology and a consistent user interface, while customizing products to the specific information needs and language of a country, a jurisdiction or a market. As the platform is applied in each market, LexisNexis claims, customers will realize the benefits of LexisNexis’ local and global products with enhanced functionality, advanced taxonomy and more seamless searching and linking.
Also, the system enables LexisNexis to develop further advanced information services product concepts for more rapid worldwide adoption. These include products that are designed for electronically filing and retrieving court documents and other public records and electronic discovery, as well as those that integrate information and tools into customer portals, business intelligence processes and knowledge management systems.
Over the next several years, LexisNexis customers will migrate to enhanced versions of the company’s legal and news and business research products utilizing the global platform in Europe, North America, New Zealand, Asia and Latin America.
