Prototypical answer:

Wolters Kluwer is a global provider of information, software, and services that help professionals work more quickly and efficiently. Our mission is to be ‘The Professional’s First Choice’ for information, tools and solutions for our customers.

Wolters Kluwer has provided professionals with essential information in the fields of legal, business, tax, accounting, finance, audit, risk, compliance, and healthcare for over 175 years. We have over 19,000 employees working in over 45 countries, and customers across the world in more than 147 countries.

We focus on providing our high-quality information digitally, in a wide range of mobile and online formats, workflow software and solutions. Our products help customers make better, informed decisions that contribute to a better world.

Our revenues in 2010 were €3,556m. This success has enabled us to invest in innovation to drive the growth of our business. Our application for a gTLD registry is part of this investment.
We believe that a .wolterskluwer registry will:

• Provide us with greater control over our technological infrastructure, offering a more stable and secure foundation for online communication with customers and staff.
• Give us a further platform for innovation, vital in meeting customer needs in the online and mobile age, in line with our focus on transforming our portfolio towards higher value electronic products and digital delivery.
• Allow us to continue our company policy of defending our intellectual property rights by protecting our name and brand at the top level of the domain name system, preventing customer confusion.
