Nice of Wolferstans to give a counterbalance to knee jerk comments but the LexisNexis move deeper into the CMS/PMS market following their acquisition of Visualfiles raises some big questions. What is the LexisNexis strategy? They now have 2, formerly competing, big hitter products. They may argue that Visualfiles and AXXIA were aimed at different markets but what do they want to achieve with 2 products that they couldn't achieve with one? Are they just after market share/customers? Perhaps they think they can more closely integrate their content (and thus avoid the horrendous LexisNexis search page) and provide a more attractive "packaged" service. I suspect this is their ultimate aim which means they really want to control the lawyer's desktop. It won't work. It's not Web2.0 and it's short sighted. Open operability is where it's at and the sooner these big content providers (LexisNexis, Westlaw, Lawtel, et al) realise that, the better.
