Thomson West announced today West km integration with Recommind‘s MindServer Legal platform. It’s not exactly clear from the press release how the two systems will work together, but Recommind pundit Oz Benamram, director of KM at Morrison & Foerster, says “This integration expands the utility of our AnswerBase Knowledge Management system, providing one central location for our attorneys to answer all of their legal research questions. … This will save us time during our legal research and, in turn, help us serve our clients better.”

It was only a matter of time before West or Lexis buddied up to Recommind. One could argue (and Lexis probably will) that it didn’t need Recommind because it already has Fast. We’re not sure if that passes the straight-face test. If they’re smart, Lexis will get really friendly really fast with Practice Technologies and “integrate” with RealPractice.
