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.
