(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Beijing (August 31, 2010) ? Wolters Kluwer China yesterday announced the
strategic partnership agreement with Commercial Press to be able to better serve
its legal customers in China as well as across the globe. The collaboration will
bring the quality of legal and regulatory content to a greater height by pushing
Chinese content outward and pulling global content into China.
Wolters Kluwer China is a part of Wolters Kluwer, a market-leading global
information services company focused on professionals. Commercial Press is
China's first print publisher dedicated to the translation and introduction of
foreign laws and regulations since the commercialization of the publishing
industry.
The agreement was signed today at the 2010 Beijing International Book Fair by
Ms. Nancy McKinstry, CEO and Chairman of the Executive Board of Wolters Kluwer,
and Ms. Shasha Chang, CEO of Wolters Kluwer China, and Mr. Yu Dianli, President
of Commercial Press.
"Wolters Kluwer and Commercial Press each have accumulated a wealth of editorial
experience and knowledge, both internationally and locally. Wolters Kluwer's
flagship brands in the legal and regulatory markets, such as Aspen Publishers,
Kluwer Law International and CCH, are recognized and used by legal professionals
globally. Through this partnership, a continuous translation and co-publishing
of leading international legal content will take place on an ongoing basis and
be delivered in a format that meets our customers' needs best," said Nancy
McKinstry.
Through the collaboration, Wolters Kluwer will draw a wealth of global legal and
regulatory content into China, translated into Chinese with the help of
Commercial Press. This will provide the Chinese professional community with
world-class expert information and web-enabled solutions. At the same time,
Commercial Press is able to publish Chinese legal and regulatory content in a
timely manner through Wolters Kluwer's established global information resource
network that is available in both Chinese and English.
"We are very proud to partner with Commercial Press. Their history of over 100
years has made Commercial Press a long-standing, renowned print publisher and a
highly recognized institution among legal academia and professionals", said
Shasha Chang, CEO of Wolters Kluwer China.
"Wolters Kluwer is our natural partner as its global publishing network and
superior English full-text translations of Chinese laws complement Commercial
Press' native Chinese language-based resources. It will enhance Commercial
Press' profile in the international market," said Yu Dianli, President of
Commercial Press.
The long-term strategic partnership will enable both organizations to reach out
to each other for editorial training in their respective areas of expertise on a
regular basis and work together in producing content that meets future customer
needs.
Wolters Kluwer China recognizes the importance of providing its Chinese
professional community with highly relevant, expert information and web-enabled
solutions. "The partnership acts as the window for Chinese professionals to
connect with our intelligent solutions locally and globally. For tax, accounting
and legal, our leading positions in these markets in various regions combined
with more meaningful engagement with the community here will further strengthen
our commitment to Chinese professionals to drive results and efficiencies for
them," Shasha Chang continued.
The partnership will also enable Commercial Press access to Wolters Kluwer's
revolutionary platform, IntelliConnect(TM), being the exclusive global digital
publishing platform and non-exclusive local digital publishing platform for
Commercial Press. IntelliConnect(TM) is a global research platform that aims at
enabling tax and accounting professionals worldwide to search for the right
information faster and easier.
