==History==
A subsidiary of [[RELX ]](formerly Reed Elsevier), LexisNexis Risk Solutions first began as the Risk & Information Analytics Group (RIAG) within [[LexisNexis]], a corporation offering legal database services. In 2000, Reed Elsevier acquired RiskWise and PeopleWise, which together became the basis of RIAG.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2000/06/03/business/company-news-nexis-agrees-to-purchase-of-riskwise-international.html|title=Reed Elsevier Acquire RiskWise|newspaper=The New York Times|date=3 June 2000|access-date=17 April 2019|last1=Jones|first1=Dow}}</ref> The creation of RIAG expanded LexisNexis offerings to include public records collections. In 2000, LexisNexis also launched [[HPCC]] Systems, its data-intensive computing system platform.

In 1994, Reed Business Information (later Reed Elsevier and now RELX),acquired ICIS-LOR thereby adding extensive price reporting on chemicals and oil to the Reed Business Information chemicals portfolio.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://icis.shorthandstories.com/icis-heritage-timeline/index.html | title=History of ICIS }}</ref>
