Our customer

Wolters Kluwer Legal & Regulatory, a leading provider of legal and compliance solutions that enable professionals to improve productivity and performance, mitigate risk and achieve better outcomes. The division has operations in Europe and the U.S. with over 4,000 employees. Their customers include law firms, corporate legal departments, and universities.

The solution

Wolters Kluwer Legal & Regulatory’s main request was to diversify its product offerings, by including a holistic, taxonomy-based solution, in order to manage large amounts of data. PoolPartys revolutionary semantic approach to structured knowledge and data management made it possible to provide Wolters Kluwer with a thesaurus through the integration of a GraphDB Triple Store.

It’s been over a decade since Wolters Kluwer Legal & Regulatory, a global leading provider of professional information, software solutions, and services, and the Semantic Web Company (SWC) joined forces to embark on a journey of digital transformation. With customers across Europe and the U.S., Wolters Kluwer Legal & Regulatory has benefited from using taxonomy management capabilities in SWC’s PoolParty Semantic Suite to provide organic feedback within and beyond their companies.

Wolters Kluwer Legal & Regulatory first approached PoolParty in 2011, with their business in Germany as the pioneer. Their main request was to diversify their product offerings, by including a holistic, taxonomy-based solution, in order to manage large amounts of data. Right from the start, both Wolters Kluwer Legal & Regulatory and Semantic Web Company had ambitious goals and worked closely together on projects, that would not only revolutionize the industry but also redefine technological standards, that are still in place today. The precise and target group-specific processing of legal information is the main objective of companies such as Wolters Kluwer.
