LexisNexis ends dispute with Google
After some differences and a falling out a few months ago, LexisNexis and Google are now talking joint ventures.
The first project will provide users of Reed's Kellysearch business information website with some of Google's links to advertisers.
Kellysearch lost customers to Google as subscribers tried to get the same information they found on LexisNexis, but without paying for it.
Chief executive Sir Crispin Davis says the company has won many of them back.
'For the last year or two we have had a lot of discussion over whether Google is an ally or a competitor,' he said. 'But there is a logic to working with Google in one or two areas. Google brings its size and we bring our content.'
LexisNexis collates news from 32,000 sources and had sales of £1.25bn last year. Yahoo! and Microsoft alliances are in the pipeline.
