"By incorporating relevant news from the LexisNexis database into salesPRISM, sales professionals will have immediate access to information they need.  This makes them smarter about their customers and prospects and helps sales professionals boost productivity."

"The extensive information from LexisNexis about customers and prospects, combined with our powerful Big Data analytics platform, is unmatched in the marketplace," said Shashi Upadhyay, CEO, Lattice Engines. "This collaboration exemplifies the next generation of sales technology where the most timely and relevant information from inside or outside company walls is continuously brought to reps' attention so they can sell the right product to the right customer, at the right time."

News articles about customers and prospects, generated from the LexisNexis database, will be indexed and sorted by subject and geography so that only the most relevant documents and information are retrieved.
