Focus on Unlocking the True Potential of Data
Working closely with its customers, LexisNexis has prioritized data enrichment as a critical differentiator for Nexis Data+. LexisNexis employs hundreds of data scientists and thousands of technical and subject matter experts to normalize, resolve, and classify data from diverse sources to enhance searchability, relevance, and impact. The company also enriches its data universe with tags and metadata including entity-level sentiment and ESG categories. With these enrichments, Nexis Data+ enables organizations to quickly leverage high-quality, trusted and accessible data, which reduces ingestion time and leads to faster AI implementations.

One organization, World Wildlife Fund (WWF), is leveraging LexisNexis data with Generative AI to help identify and combat overfishing, illegal fishing, and marine habitat destruction worldwide. Using Nexis Data+ to access and analyze international news, WWF seeks to identify where and when potential conflict over fisheries might unfold. With its Oceans Futures platform, enhanced by LexisNexis data, WWF is seeking to strengthen conservation by galvanizing its international coalition, attracting media and policy attention to these issues, supporting strategic planning and resource allocation, and stopping conflicts before they start.

"From declining food security in local fishing communities to disputes between global superpowers, the risk of violent fisheries conflict is on the rise. To address these challenges, World Wildlife Fund must rapidly mobilize attention and resources at a global scale," said Johan Bergenas, Senior Vice President of Oceans at WWF.
