Solcara and LexisNexis Launch News Monitoring Tool
Solcara (the UK-based information management software and solutions company) and LexisNexis (a leading provider of legal, news and business content) have announced Solcara InTheNews, an online news monitoring service that allows users to more easily keep abreast of what is being said in the media about their organisation, clients and competition.
Enabling users to more effectively manage, access and distribute information, Solcara InTheNews is a search tool that analyses content provided by the LexisNexis 90 day news service. Using an advanced statistical and linguistic analysis routine, Solcara InTheNews can quickly identify relevant content.
This content, news headlines with summaries and/or the full stories, is extracted, clustered and presented in email alerts. These alerts can be scheduled to run at predefined times and are customisable to reflect individual user's interest profiles and corporate branding.
Dominic Riley, Strategic Marketing Director, LexisNexis UK commented, "When presented with hundreds of articles, searching through each one to find which are relevant can be very time-consuming. To make this process more time-efficient and easier for the end-user, LexisNexis has joined with Solcara to launch a product, which can quickly identify the appropriate content and present it in a ranked, easily navigable format. We have more than 32,000 sources, providing news and opinion, company information, financial data, legal intelligence and market research across all major commercial and industrial sectors. These sources can be anything from a leading international management publication to a highly specialised database containing millions of entries. We constantly strive to be indispensable to our clients by providing a superlative service; Solcara InTheNews will help us meet this objective."
The functionality of Solcara InTheNews (LexisNexis) can be extended to not only search multiple online content sources simultaneously but also to search internal databases. Charlie O'Rourke, Sales and Marketing Director, Solcara said, "All organisations are battling with the need to access and assimilate content more effectively from an ever-increasing number of sources, both internal and external. Use of the Solcara InTheNews solution ensures that the user can quickly and easily identify the right piece of content from the right source. We are delighted to work with LexisNexis and the union of their quality content with the robustness and scalability of our solution ensures that Solcara InTheNews (LexisNexis) is a best-of-breed service."
