Wolters Kluwer innovates legal practice management through Azure cloud migration

Wolters Kluwer migrated its Kleos legal practice management software, serving over 11,000 law firms across Europe, from private hosting to Microsoft Azure's cloud-native platform. The migration aimed to enhance scalability, agility, performance, and security, ensuring that data for European customers is securely stored and easily recoverable. Microsoft Azure's advanced security features, including encryption and threat detection, are leveraged for comprehensive protection of sensitive legal information. The shift empowers Kleos' customers to benefit from continuous innovation, disaster recovery, and high availability as well as EU-compliant data sovereignty. Wolters Kluwer highlights the opportunity for future AI and analytics enhancements, such as case management automation and actionable insights for law firms. The project distinguishes Kleos as the only pan-European cloud-native practice management platform, broadening its reach and innovation capacity. The partnership positions Wolters Kluwer to further integrate Microsoft Office and advanced data analytics capabilities, enabling clients to serve their customers better. End users benefit from improved system reliability, performance, and the ability to scale seamlessly with organizational growth. Azure's market-leading standards and ISO certification ensure peace of mind for legal clients regarding compliance and privacy. The transition demonstrates Wolters Kluwer's commitment to innovation, digital transformation, and client service excellence in the legal technology domain.
