The Thomson Corporation announced the addition of Contact Networks and ContactNet to its portfolio of business intelligence and relationship management services for legal and other professional markets.
ContactNet, the first and most powerful social networking application built specifically for corporate environments, automatically uncovers, aggregates and prioritizes a firm’s internal relationships with external business contacts.

To deliver quick, accurate and comprehensive search results, ContactNet casts a wide net, pulling data from address books, e-mail logs, Customer Relationship Management (CRM) applications and other enterprise systems. ContactNet then pinpoints search matches with multiple layers of filtering and de-duplication technology, coupled with proprietary algorithms that analyze more than 37 unique variables
