LexisNexis Adds New Content and Features to LexisNexis at www.lexis.com
Dun & Bradstreet Corporate Information Now Available on the Web; New Sounds Like Feature Simplifies Person Locator Database Searches

DAYTON, OH, June 06, 2002 - LexisNexis™, the global leader in providing comprehensive, authoritative news, business and legal information solutions, today announced that it has added several new easy-to-use features to its Web-based services, including the addition of Dun & Bradstreet Reports and a Sounds Like search feature for public records data.

Available for the first time on lexis.com®, LexisNexis is offering seven reports from one of the top providers of business information, Dun & Bradstreet. The reports are:

  • Business Information Report – provides an overall profile of a company to evaluate operations, profitability and stability. This report can provide payment information, banking, finance, public filings special events and company and management history.
  • Payment Analysis Report – provides in-depth historical analysis of a business’ payment habits. This report can provide information on a firm’s banking relationships, public filings and special events.
  • Supplier Evaluation Report – provides information and analyses that help assess the risk of doing business with a supplier.
  • Comprehensive Report – provides tool for assessing new and existing business relationships where the large dollar and/or long-term nature of a commitment pose a significant risk or opportunity.
  • Government Activity Report – provides details on a company’s transactions with the federal government, including contracts, loans and grants.
  • Business Background Report – provides useful information on a company’s history and operations as well as business background of its management.
  • Dun’s Financial Profile – provides an overview of a firm’s financial condition, complete with industry benchmarking of a firm’s key business ratios, financial and payment performance.
Another lexis.com enhancement that will make searching the LexisNexis™ person locator database easier is the new Sounds Like feature. Available on lexis.com through the guided search form, Sounds Like can be used when either the exact spelling of the first and last name of a person is unknown or the first and last name entered as a search by the user do not retrieve usable documents.

“A Sounds Like search returns names that the researcher might never have thought of entering into the search, producing a more complete result set,” said Paul Gazzolo, vice president, Large Law Firm Marketing. “It saves time and increases productivity by automatically finding phonetic matches and nicknames and then ranking the results based on relevancy.”

These new ease-of-use features pack a powerful punch for legal research. The Dun & Bradstreet reports and the Sounds Like feature are both currently available.  Look for more features to be added to lexis.com this summer.
