LNAU Update

Important Communication for IT Departments – Change of IP Address

(NOTE: this message applies to organisation ONLY that use the Netli acceleration service)

LexisNexis AU applications currently utilise an enhancement / acceleration service. This service is being migrated to a new provider on September 22nd.

It is envisioned this migration will be seamless to most of our Customers, however if your IT department has hardcoded the existing IP Address of this service in your system, then the new IP Address range will also have to be added to ensure access to LexisNexis AU applications.

For essential instructions please download the User Document

Please forward this information to your IT Department for investigation.

LNAU: Your thoughts…
Based on your feedback, we are improving the way we name and categorise our products on LNAU. We’re keen to hear your thoughts on what would be most meaningful to you. The two specific areas we are seeking feedback and ideas on are:

1. Products – standardising the naming convention (ie Aust vs Australia, and vs &, NSW vs New South Wales)
2. Source Directory – categorising products into the relevant areas of law
3. Source Directory – categorising products into the relevant content types

If you have any specific suggestions on either how you would prefer the naming or categorizing convention to be employed, please email Rowena.oldfield@lexisnexis.com.au.

Similarly, we are also looking at how we are looking to standardise our scope and currency statements for our products on LNAU. If you haven’t had the opportunity to inform us on what is relevant to you, we would welcome your feedback. Rowena.oldfield@lexisnexis.com.au would love to hear from you.
