LexisNexis Earns Recognition as a Leading Knowledge Management Innovator
KMWorld lists LexisNexis as one of the “100 Companies that Matter in Knowledge Management” for the fourth consecutive year
DAYTON, OH, February 21, 2005 - For the fourth consecutive year, LexisNexis, U.S., was named to the list of “100 Companies that Matter in Knowledge Management” by KMWorld, the leading knowledge management industry publication. LexisNexis is a leading provider of legal, news and business information
This year’s recognition by KMWorld resulted directly from the knowledge and content management applications and tools that LexisNexis brought to the legal industry. In particular, a new version of LexisNexis® Total Search was introduced in 2004 – V.2. This is the company’s Web browser-based application that allows legal professionals to search the lexis.com® service and a law firm’s internal work product simultaneously. LexisNexis Total Search V3.0 is expected to release in March 2005.
LexisNexis Total Search expands the boundaries of the LexisNexis® Total Research System, making legal professionals more productive and efficient in finding and using relevant internal work product, in their current workflow, for their research and drafting tasks. This enables legal professionals to find relevant knowledge, such as existing pleadings, deal documents, depositions, memoranda and motions from in-firm experts, as well as trusted information from the LexisNexis® service via the familiar lexis.com user interface. Additionally, LexisNexis Total Search provides intelligent cross-referencing of information that, to-date, has been buried within LexisNexis materials and firm work product.
"With the enhanced 2004 release of this already successful legal application, LexisNexis Total Search continued to meet and exceed the critical knowledge management needs of law practices across the country," said Joe Swimmer, director, LexisNexis Total Search. "This recognition by KMWorld is affirmation that our knowledge and content management processes and applications are indeed helping our customers to run their legal practices successfully."
Swimmer added, "We are excited that LexisNexis Total Search continues to evolve based on market demands and legal professional needs, with Total Search V3.0 releasing in late March 2005. LexisNexis is bringing the tools, content and expertise to make legal professionals better practitioners and, importantly, to more profitably run and grow their practices."
LexisNexis Total Search enables knowledge sharing, transfer of expertise and improved or new efficiencies in research or drafting tasks, all with the highest level of security and confidence in results. LexisNexis Total Search furthers a law firm’s objective of sharing firm expertise and experience throughout the organization. These efficiencies include:
- Capture and reuse firm work product and best practices;
- Increase productivity by not having to reinvent the wheel for drafting or research tasks;
- Identify and locate expertise on legal, factual or other topics within the firm, assisting with the transfer of skills and know-how among attorneys; and
- Provide mentoring and training of junior legal professionals engaged in drafting and research through review and reuse of content in which the firm has confidence.
LexisNexis Total Search is just one component in a complete suite of knowledge management services provided by LexisNexis to help drive productivity for customers and their businesses. With this comprehensive suite of products, LexisNexis is helping law firms and corporations to organize, manage, integrate and deliver content into various platforms. These include intranets, portals, customer relationship management systems, and reputation management applications.
"The list was conceived as a way to identify some of the organizations leading the way in the knowledge economy. And, it’s certainly not intended to be the final word on the matter; rather, it’s designed to encourage a broader discussion of knowledge management," said Hugh McKellar, editor in chief, KMWorld. "Criteria for inclusion varies, but each company has either helped to create a market, redefine one or enhance one – and they all share one thing: velocity of innovation."
