Wolters Kluwer strengthens market position in Spain by acquiring Telesoftware


Telesoftware is an enterprise dedicated to management software development and maintenance. The activities of Telesoftware are in the tax and human resources markets, and specialize in providing professional customers with robust tax compliance tools and payroll software. Telesoftware is therefore well positioned to fully complement Wolters Kluwer's award-winning portfolio in Spain.
 
Telesoftware will be integrated with existing operations in Spain and form part of Wolters Kluwer's Legal, Tax & Regulatory Europe (LTRE) Division.
 
"With this acquisition, Wolters Kluwer has made an important step in its strategic objective to drive revenue growth," stated Rolv Eide, CEO of LTRE. "It significantly reinforces our market position by increasing our customer portfolio and expanding our sales activities, as well as opening up substantial leveraging opportunities between Telesoftware products and our well-known brands A3, CISS and LA LEY."
