Media Release

LexisNexis^® Red™ has been named one of Australia's 100 most innovative products and services, in one of the largest and most audacious innovation awards of its kind in Australia: the Anthill Magazine 'SMART 100' Index.

To meet the needs of increasingly mobile legal professionals, LexisNexis Pacific, a leading provider of content and technology solutions, developed LexisNexis Red, the world's first mobile digital referencing tool designed specifically for the needs of legal practitioners.

LexisNexis Red represents one of the first steps to ensuring that the information that professionals need is at their fingertips wherever they may be, whatever device they may be using.

The LexisNexis Red app allows lawyers to rid of their previously heavy and hard-to-carry legal materials and instead carry and instantly access the most up-to-date legal reference and research materials via their portable device whether they are online or offline. Legal practitioners now have access to LexisNexis digital content, advanced referencing, and highlighting functionalities at all times.

"Innovations like LexisNexis Red are shaping the future of legal research and revolutionising the way lawyers work. For us, LexisNexis Red represents one of the first steps to ensuring that the information that professionals need is at their fingertips wherever they may be, whatever device they may be using," said LexisNexis Pacific CEO, TJ Viljoen.

The SMART 100 Index was created by leading business media channel Anthill Magazine in 2008 to identify and rank Australia's 100 most innovative products, proving to be one of the largest surveys of its kind in Australia.

"In true Anthillian style, the SMART 100 is an ever-evolving, ever-improving experiment," said Anthill founder and Editor-In-Chief James Tuckerman. It identifies and ranks new Australian innovations by applying a combination of crowdsourcing, collaboration and common-sense. We employ the judgement of 'mavens' and readers.

"Unlike your average awards program, we don't lock a panel of expert adjudicators in a small room. Neither do we demand a thorough analysis of each applicant's P&L statement. We don't even request an historical snapshot of 'runs on the board' or commercial achievements. This is because innovation is future focussed. It is about identifying and solving problems in ways that will change the way we live, do business and think."
