Key Competitive Advantage
We have to admit that we weren’t too surprised when the IDC MarketScape reports identified LexisNexis® CounselLink® FastTrack as a key competitive advantage. CounselLink FastTrack is a payment solution that seems to accomplish the impossible by benefitting both legal departments and vendors. “A major differentiator for LexisNexis is its new FastTrack program that works with the financial services company LSQ to accelerate payments to law firms while allowing enterprises to hold onto their cash and pay LSQ later,” the report noted.
