Announcing a New Release for LexisNexis InterAction 6.0
Enhanced Integration with Microsoft Outlook available for Microsoft Outlook 2007
LexisNexis® InterAction® released an update to InterAction 6.0 today and the enhanced user interface for Microsoft Outlook is now available for Microsoft® Outlook® 2007. InterAction 6.0 software embeds features and functions of InterAction®, directly within Microsoft Outlook. This integration enables users to view, access and leverage firm-wide CRM data all from within one's individual Outlook application — making it easier for lawyers and other professional services firms to build stronger client relationships and drive business development efforts.
"By providing access to InterAction resources directly within Outlook, InterAction 6.0 will proactively equip users with information to strengthen their relationships and drive greater participation in CRM efforts across the law firm without requiring users to launch and learn a new application," said Brad Sidwell, vice president and general manager, LexisNexis. "Now that InterAction 6.0 for Microsoft Outlook is compatible with Microsoft Outlook 2007, many more firms will enjoy the benefits of the newest and most robust version of InterAction."
Benefits of InterAction 6.0
Users will have access to their firm's InterAction CRM data directly within the e-mail, calendar and contact functions inside Outlook. Key benefits include:
- Saves time. An InterAction toolbar will appear inside a new panel displayed within Outlook that enables users to hover their mouse over a toolbar to surface contact information, identify mutual relationships, see upcoming meetings or activities, view organization or information changes and browse notes summarizing previous interactions with any recipients of the e-mail. Because each of these functions is performed within Outlook, users avoid the time consuming need to go back and forth between Outlook and InterAction.
- Easy searching. The Search Field function enables users to quickly search for contact details about clients and prospects shared by others across the firm without leaving one's e-mail inbox.
- A more complete understanding of firm-wide interactions. The "Add Activities" feature allows users to log contact "events" (emails, notes, calendar items etc.) directly from within Outlook to the InterAction database where that information can be seen and accessed by colleagues via their own Microsoft Outlook account. This feature gives others in the firm a more complete and up-to-date understanding of firm-wide interactions with a given contact to ensure coordination of efforts and help avoid potentially embarrassing situations.
