Lexisnexis Continues Portal Partnership

The Dayton Business Journal reports that Lexisnexis and Plumtree have renewed their strategic alliance. As the two major legal research vendors continue to broaden their domains, the portal market has beckoned to each. But both Thomson-West and Lexisnexis opted out of building their own. Lexisnexis' portal ally has helped it get into some big firms, just as Westlaw developed customizable portlets, small components that could be embedded into portal products like those from Plumtree, Hummingbird, and iManage/Interwoven. Anyone using Microsoft's Sharepoint Server should take a look at the Westlaw components.
