Online relationship management tool gives insights into nearly 50,000 board members with deep biographical data, cross-linking maps, people-on-the-move alerts, and social networking module

July 25, 2007 — New York, NY, July 25, 2007 - LexisNexis, a leading provider of information and services solutions, today announced the launch of ExecRelate™ (www.execrelate.com), a subscription based service that provides intelligence on directors, executives, and their relationships. Business development professionals, executive recruiters, and competitive intelligence analysts can leverage ExecRelate to find connections to executives and understand who is influencing the marketplace. Board memberships, corporate family structures, and executive-to-executive relationships offer rich insights into who is driving business for whom.

Users can quickly view and compare detailed coverage of individuals and company information from:

• Over 700,000 unique personnel names and titles
• Over 65,000 parent companies with more than 118,000 linked subsidiaries
• Nearly 200,000 of the most prominent U.S. and international public and private companies
• Nearly 50,000 board members from all NYSE, NASDAQ, and AMEX traded companies

A side-by-side comparison feature displays linkages and commonalities between board members in multiple areas, including current career or board memberships, job and board history, educational background, association memberships, certifications earned, and awards won.

To stay up-to-date on individual personnel changes, or personnel changes within an entire company, users can create alerts.

“Executive and board member information is often outdated or unavailable on the Web, so we have invested the time to capture this proprietary content, keep it updated, and visually cross-link it for users to see connections,” said Roderick Morris, vice president of Business Information Solutions for LexisNexis U.S. Corporate Markets. “Our analysts are updating and verifying thousands of pieces of data each day and scanning news sources for personnel changes. Our breadth of coverage and features like our side-by-side comparison make this a truly unique and compelling tool for those developing and analyzing relationships with board members and senior executives.  And with personnel change alerting capabilities, ExecRelate offers a comprehensive solution.”

Web 2.0 technology enhances the value of ExecRelate as a business information tool.  A social networking module, ExecRelate™ Relationship Manager, enables ExecRelate customers to map relationships and create connections with key business development contacts.

Roderick added, “The social networking component within ExecRelate brings a new dimension to the relationship development process.  Business professionals can use this application to expand their sphere of influence and make more informed business decisions on who they want to work with.”
