Corporate Affiliations provides timely, customized company information

May 6, 2008 — New York, NY, May 6, 2008 - Designed to provide authoritative business intelligence on corporate families, LexisNexis® Corporate Affiliations&#8482 (www.corporateaffiliations.com) recently added a number of features designed to help customers obtain the corporate information they want in the formats they prefer.


"Corporate Affiliations customers use corporate-families information, proposed and closed merger and acquisition data, and personnel move alerts to help them identify multiple types of business opportunities," said Scott Livingston, vice president, News, Business and Public Records, LexisNexis.  "Professionals rely on Corporate Affiliations for up-to-date and relevant corporate information to help them make better business decisions."

Customers can now be made instantly aware of recent executive changes with the new "Personnel Move Alerts" feature.  This gives users the ability to customize personnel change alerts by selecting companies, industries, locations and revenue ranges.  Email notifications of personnel changes are delivered twice weekly based on their own unique settings.

Corporate Affiliations is used as a means to stay up-to-date on the ever-changing merger and acquisition landscape.  Corporate Affiliations includes MergerTrak™, a comprehensive online tool that features breaking proposed and closed merger and acquisition news from hundreds of media outlets, transaction details and access to updated corporate profiles of the involved parties.  Customers can pull custom reports from MergerTrak including in-depth transactional data for proposed or completed mergers, acquisitions and spin-offs.

Another recent enhancement allows customers to download full corporate families.  Downloads include user-selected details such as contact information, financial data, industries, and either a full list of company contacts or selections by title or responsibility.

A streamlined user interface uses navigational hyperlinks designed to guide customers to relevant information more efficiently.

Several industries rely on Corporate Affiliations, including:

• Law Firms - enhance the due diligence research process
