Wolters Kluwer wants to improve its cost base with sustainable cost reductions of 240 million euros from 2003 to 2006. These cost savings will be realised by restructuring operations, streamlining back-office functions, developing shared services, and consolidating real estate holdings. Wolters Kluwer also will standardise technology platforms, consolidate data centres, and increase its cost flexibility with offshore development and IT outsourcing. 1,600 jobs will be affected worldwide.
