KnowledgeCenter, a provider of knowledge management products, has appointed applications management company Melstar UK as a partner for its "Lexis" product in the London Insurance Market.

Lexis is a knowledge development "environment" that consists of four main modules: electronic document management, project/workspace collaboration, workflow/business process automation and data and application integration.

The new partnership has already secured its first client, international broker PWS Group.

PWS finance director Peter Chapman said: "We looked long and hard at what our group's strategic needs were, particularly with regard to our overseas plans, and I am pleased we have found a product, Lexis, and an integrator, Melstar, with the right credentials."
