Why Wolters Kluwer built a cloud home in India: Powering finance transformation where it matters most

India’s digital finance landscape is evolving at an unprecedented pace in 2025. Enterprises across sectors from manufacturing and financial services to technology are embracing modern solutions to replace legacy systems and accelerate their transformation journeys.

Part of Wolters Kluwer, the CCH® Tagetik Intelligent Platform is the market’s first AI-powered corporate performance management solution. It provides a strategic and financial intelligence platform that enables CFOs and their peers to propel their strategy with faster and better-informed decisions. We believe finance should be more than a back-office function. It should be a strategic driver for the entire business.

That belief guided our decision to strengthen our operations in India with a new cloud hosting environment designed to meet the unique needs of this dynamic market.

Building a strong local presence

In 2023, Wolters Kluwer CCH Tagetik opened an office in India to support our growing CCH Tagetik customer base across Asia-Pacific, building upon an existing Wolter’s Kluwer operation since 2006. This local presence enables us to deliver:

• Localized support: Faster implementation and tailored solutions for Indian enterprises.
• Digital transformation enablement: Modern EPM tools that streamline financial consolidation, planning, and regulatory reporting.
• Strategic partnerships: Collaborations with local enterprises and consulting firms to capitalize on India’s digital growth.

But as our expansion accelerated, we encountered challenges that required a strategic rethink of our infrastructure. Hence, we decided to fast track our investment in local cloud hosting for India as it is one of our most strategic markets. 

Achieving Performance and compliance

Our cloud-based Corporate Performance Management (CPM) platform is engineered for speed and precision during critical financial processes. As our customer base in India expanded and regulatory expectations evolved, we recognized an opportunity to further elevate our service. 

By investing in local infrastructure, we ensured that our solutions would not only keep pace with India’s dynamic market but also set new benchmarks for performance, compliance, and scalability, especially for the financial services sector, a key market for CCH Tagetik solutions.

Why we turned to AWS

To overcome these challenges, we partnered with AWS to deploy a secure, scalable, and compliant cloud environment within India. AWS offers local data centers that meet stringent regulatory requirements, ensuring data residency and sovereignty for financial information. Its robust network architecture minimizes latency, enabling faster performance for real-time consolidation and reporting.

Beyond speed and compliance, AWS provided advanced security certifications, disaster recovery capabilities, and elastic scalability critical for supporting CCH Tagetik’s growing customer base without the need for heavy upfront investment in physical infrastructure. By leveraging AWS’s mature ecosystem and enterprise-grade services, we could confidently deliver a high-performing, compliant solution tailored to the Indian market.

What this means for our customers

The new data center will host mission-critical applications including financial consolidation, planning, analytics, and ESG reporting. It meets international standards such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, and GDPR, ensuring alignment with both global and local compliance mandates. For Indian enterprises navigating complex regulatory landscapes, this investment provides confidence that their data is secure, compliant, and always available.

Customers can expect:

• Faster performance during close cycles and reporting.
• Local compliance with India’s evolving data governance laws.
• Scalability to support growth without disruption.

Looking ahead

This strategic investment underscores CCH Tagetik’s commitment to data sovereignty, operational resilience, and regulatory compliance, especially in regions like India, where data governance is rapidly evolving. 

As our customer base continues to grow, we’ll keep investing in infrastructure and innovation, including AI-powered financial platforms and regional support centers, to help organizations thrive in a digital-first world.

At CCH Tagetik, we’re proud to be a trusted partner for finance transformation worldwide. With AWS as our cloud partner in India, we’re making that vision a reality for enterprises across the region.
