Product Review of LexisNexis Newsdesk
Jinfo Report

3rd March 2016

Abstract

Media monitoring and analytics tool LexisNexis Newsdesk is a powerful market intelligence product that was launched in April 2015 as a result of the LexisNexis acquisition of Moreover Technologies in October 2014.

This review:

• Looks at how Moreover launched what was the first such tool to aggregate news and social media in one product, and summarises how, as LexisNexis Newsdesk, its "almost real-time" market intelligence capacity provides value to its audience.
  
  
• Outlines the advantages of being owned by LexisNexis, an industry-leading information provider, and gives a detailed breakdown of type and range of content provided, from both traditional and social media. Includes coverage of countries and multiple language sources.
  
  
• Puts the technology to the test and goes into depth on the three primary functions of Newsdesk: Search, Analyse and Share. Covers advanced search options, including newly-added feature LexisNexis SmartIndexing technology, that is applied to licensed content across all of the company's products.
  
  
• Reveals which part of the analysis function provided our reviewer with the "wow factor".
  
  
• Examines the extensive support and help offered.
  
  
• Digs into pricing options, product investments for 2016 and how Newsdesk stands out from its competitors such as Meltwater, Factiva, Nexis, Digimind and Infomart, and describes what we consider to be some unique features.
