Thomson adds Contact Networks to portfolio
Thomson Corp.announced the addition of Boston-based Contact Networks and its enterprise relationship management product, ContactNet, to its portfolio of business intelligence and relationship management services for legal and other professional markets.
Information-services provider Thomson said the addition has established a strategic presence in the emerging business-to-business social networking space.
ContactNet, a networking application built specifically for corporate environments, automatically uncovers, aggregates, and prioritizes a firm’s internal relationships with external business contacts; now, determining “who knows whom” is as simple as doing a Google-like search, with no data entry or ongoing database maintenance, Thomson said.
Contact Networks will retain its headquarters and team in Boston and operate as an independent business unit of Thomson West, Thomson said.
