LexisNexis and Augure Announce an Alliance to Optimise Corporate Reputation Management

Full Depth Integration of Print and Online Analysis Simplifies Public Relations Campaign Management

LONDON, June 8, 2010 - LexisNexis, a leading provider of information management
solutions, and Augure, a leading provider of ERM (Enterprise Reputation
Management) solutions, joined forces today to introduce an innovative
web-based application for PR professionals managing corporate reputations.

LexisNexis provides its Analytics capability, which automates
sentiment analysis and influence rating, to monitor and measure reputation by
analysing comment on web sites, social media and traditional media.
LexisNexis Analytics is now integrated with Augure's campaign and workflow
tools, ComSuite and ComDecision, which will allow PR professionals to track
and respond to online coverage immediately.

PR professionals can look at the media impact of their
activities in depth, then plan and implement new actions based on the results
of previous campaigns, all from the same application. Easy to use, the
solution developed by LexisNexis and Augure is fully customisable and
provides global coverage.

"Social media and networks have made reputation management
increasingly dynamic. PR professionals need to be able to monitor and filter
coverage in these media alongside traditional sources - and integrate this
analysis into the tools they use every day" said Christophe Favre, Director
Global Sales and Marketing, LexisNexis Analytics.

"This unique combination of LexisNexis Analytics insight with
Augure's software provides an unmatched solution for PR professionals. The
ability to monitor web, social media and traditional media in an integrated
view with campaign activities provides a holistic view of an organisation's
reputation." said Michael Jais, CEO of Augure.
