Wolters Kluwer, a leading global provider of information solutions, software and services for professionals, announced continued momentum from its AI Center of Excellence and proprietary Foundation and Beyond ("FAB") AI enablement platform — two enterprise capabilities that, together with disciplined organizational design, are enabling the company to deliver trustworthy, high value AI innovations to customers at speed. At the core is FAB, Wolters Kluwer's model agnostic, enterprise AI enablement platform designed for model pluralism, agentic orchestration, governance, and scale.

Quick Intel

  • Wolters Kluwer announces AI Center of Excellence and FAB AI enablement platform for trusted AI innovation.

  • FAB standardizes tracing, logging, tuning, grounding, evaluation profiles, and safe integration to external systems.

  • The platform supports model pluralism, agentic orchestration, and governance at enterprise scale.

  • Innovations include UpToDate Expert AI in Health and CCH Axcess Expert AI in Tax & Accounting.

  • Wolters Kluwer reported 2025 annual revenues of €6.1 billion serving customers in over 180 countries.

  • The company has invested more than a decade to embed AI responsibly into its expert solutions.

CEO on AI Leadership

"We've invested for more than a decade to embed AI responsibly into our expert solutions," said Stacey Caywood, CEO and Chair of the Executive Board, Wolters Kluwer. "Our AI Center of Excellence and FAB platform let us move faster — without compromising on trust, security, or quality — so customers get high value innovation exactly where they need it most."

FAB: From Foundation Models to Agentic Outcomes

Wolters Kluwer's technology organization, the Digital eXperience Group (DXG), supports all five divisions with reusable platforms and horizontal Centers of Excellence. Each division has a CTO aligned to business outcomes, enabling deep customer intimacy and faster, safer delivery. This structure, combined with FAB, has accelerated development cycles and increased the share of digital revenue that is AI enabled.

FAB provides a common toolkit to:

  • Select and adapt the right model for the right task (model pluralism) while grounding outputs in proprietary, expert curated content

  • Orchestrate multiagent workflows for complex, end-to-end tasks with human/expert oversight

  • Integrate safely with enterprise ecosystems via a governed gateway

  • Continuously evaluate and improve performance with expert defined rubrics

This platform strategy is already powering innovations across the portfolio, including UpToDate Expert AI in Health and CCH Axcess Expert AI in Tax & Accounting — each deeply embedded into customer workflows and governed to enterprise standards.

Technical Leadership Perspective

"Agentic AI demands more than a single model and a chat bot," said Alex Tyrrell, Head of Advanced Technology, Wolters Kluwer Health. "FAB equips our teams with the rails for multi-model, multi-agent systems — plus grounding, guardrails, and expert evaluation — so AI is built-in, enterprise-grade, and outcome-oriented from day one."

Built-In, Not Bolted-On

Because Wolters Kluwer's flagship platforms are cloud native and API-first, innovations are delivered as integrated capabilities, preserving auditability, security, and user experience rather than as one-off addons. This is crucial for high-stakes professional workflows where quality and governance are non-negotiable. While new entrants tout disruption, Wolters Kluwer brings years of AI experience, proprietary content moats, and deep workflow knowledge — a combination that customers say translates to safer, faster time to value.
