Integrated searches in Affinity & PCLaw streamlines processes and increases workflow efficiency

Sydney, 3 December: LexisNexis Pacific, a leading provider of content and technology solutions to the legal industry has announced its partnership with GlobalX for both transactional searches and PEXA. This partnership has been created to improve workflow processes, increase efficiencies and enable improved productivity for its small to large law practice management clients.

Following a successful integration with Lexis Affinity in 2013, this partnership has most recently been seen in PCLaw, a small law practice management system, with integration to the LexisNexis Searches solution powered by GlobalX. This integration makes over 1200 transactional search services available to firms using PCLaw and Lexis Affinity, streamlining the processing of matters, reducing delays and avoiding the risk of manual errors.

“We have partnered with GlobalX to benefit our clients and provide an improved and fully integrated practice management solution”, notes James Parker, Executive Director – Practice Management LexisNexis. “The ability to introduce more efficient processes that can save firms time and money is vital to any practice, and this integration which automates that process is the most effective way to guarantee optimal performance”.

Peter Maloney, GlobalX Chief Executive Officer, said seamless integration with our online information search portal for the LexisNexis Search function would deliver significant gains and advantages in productivity for all LexisNexis practice management users.

“Our shared vision in partnering with LexisNexis is to integrate and centralise relevant resources and functionality. Through this we are able to fulfil the needs of legal practitioners with superior value that benefits them and their clients”, Mr Maloney said.

The continued partnership with GlobalX will offer LexisNexis clients fully-integrated solutions to PEXA in 2015, allowing firms to manage their legal process needs from one central platform. LexisNexis Searches is supported for PCLaw v12 onwards and Lexis Affinity v5.0 onwards. Both solutions are advancing everyday efficiencies for firms with their improved e-billing features and access to key data and time recording on the move.
