Thomson West.

In addition, Thomson West (Eagan, MN) has introduced WestlawNext, a new legal research system that makes legal professionals "significantly more efficient and gives them the confidence that they've explored every relevant document," West said. Developed over a five-year period, West said the service represents the largest product launch "in more than a decade." It leverages West's archive of over 100 years of content and is designed to emulate the best practices of experienced legal researchers. It also learns from the aggregate usage of WestlawNext researchers so that search results improve over time. West executive Vin Caraher said "we've incorporated an intuitive design that anticipates the way a customer searches for information and organizes that information." For instance, users can highlight relevant sections of text online and create notes on a document, with important documents organized in an online foldering system.
