Legal Publisher CISS Strengthens Its Leadership in Fiscal Publishing

Company’s position reinforced through integration of FITAX, specialized in tax and finance contents in Basque region

Madrid (January 9, 2007) – Professional publisher CISS, a Wolters Kluwer business, is strengthening its leading position in Spain’s legal information sector through the incorporation of FITAX. This action will increase CISS’s sales potential in the Basque region, supported by the FITAX office in San Sebastián.

FITAX is the market leading information provider for tax advice services in the Basque region. Thousands of professional advisors in tax and accountancy already use these services, which are known by the brand names Vademécum, Forum, and Bitopus, on a daily basis.

As result of merging CISS’s and FITAX’s databases, customers will gain comprehensive access to nationwide business and accountancy information. After the incorporation into CISS, the first project initiated will be the development of similar product lines for the Navarra regional tax system.

Since 1968 legal publishing company CISS has been well-respected and recognized among professional advisors and experts in the areas of tax, accountancy, and commercial and labor law. With a broad portfolio of products and more than 50% market share in this segment, CISS is successfully taking full advantage of innovative and state-of-the-art technologies, especially through the internet. Recently, CISS launched several new user-friendly platforms with the most up-to-date information and content tailor-made to meet each customer’s needs and specialties. Well-known information solutions from CISS are CISSatlas and CISStodo.

The FITAX product portfolio complements CISS because of its presence in regional markets. At the same time, FITAX’s products will benefit from Wolters Kluwer’s technological expertise. Sales potential will be strengthened by the addition of the San Sebastián to the CISS office at Bilbao.
