Our take
For over 185 years, Wolters Kluwer has been innovating the way professionals and businesses work. The company has expanded to offer a substantial range of services across the Health, Tax & Accounting, Finance, Compliance, and Legal sectors.
While operating across so many sectors comes with an extensive range of competition, Wolters Kluwer serves customers in over 180 countries, which has been managed, in part, due to its 70+ acquisitions. For example, the company has recently acquired leading artificial intelligence technology company Della AI, which will become part of its legal software unit, to further advance its natural language processing capabilities.
The company is currently focused on its 2022-2024 strategy, which is a three-year value elevation strategy aimed at accelerating expert solutions, expanding its reach, and evolving its core capabilities. After delivering on its 2019-2021 strategy (resulting in €4.8 billion in revenues in 2021 alone) Wolters Kluwer is well set to remain on its long-standing path of growth and success.
