(BOCA RATON, FLA., October 30, 2006) – During the opening keynote address to more than 500 tax and accounting professionals attending the 2006 CCH User Conference, Kevin Robert, president and CEO of CCH, a Wolters Kluwer business, outlined the specific new technology initiatives CCH is investing in to ensure its customers are best positioned to grow their competitive business advantage, with CCH as their strategic partner. CCH is a leading provider of tax and accounting law information, software and services (CCHGroup.com). The CCH User Conference is taking place in Boca Raton, October 29 - November 1, 2006.

In his keynote address, Robert also highlighted the large investment CCH is making in customer learning, training and support. In 2003, CCH completely reorganized its business to focus on the wide range of tax and accounting professionals’ needs, within different market sizes, throughout the work day, and throughout the year.
“We’re still the only company today that is truly integrated in this way,” said Robert.
CCH has made in-depth, continuous customer learning a top priority, the CEO told attendees. CCH has implemented an intensive customer learning process and has invested thousands of hours in learning directly about customer needs and applying that learning to drive investments in new services and solutions.
“The single goal of these efforts is to understand and serve customers best,” said Robert.
Investing for Today and for the Future
“CCH is 100-percent committed to serving the needs of our ProSystem fx and CCH research customers through ongoing investment and innovation,” Robert stated. “It’s this level of commitment that ensures our software and research platforms continue to be market leaders and we continue to lead the industry with innovative new and enhanced solutions.”
The CCH CEO detailed for attendees CCH’s ProSystem .Net initiative, which is the next generation of The ProSystem fx Office products and architecture that leverages and capitalizes on the latest Microsoft technologies.
In the overview presented by Robert, he noted that the ProSystem .Net initiative will provide customers with greater accessibility to their ProSystem solutions and enable greater integration with other applications to further streamline workflows. The initiative will: bring The ProSystem fx Office to a centralized framework for tight integration of information and solutions, including a common database; establish interoperability of products to the Internet or desktop; introduce ASP and Smart Client technologies; and create an open architecture with client, third-party or other Wolters Kluwer applications
Robert also noted that today, CCH has more business resources and funding devoted to the enhancement of its internet platform, Tax Research NetWork, than at any time since its launch. Through significant ongoing investment, CCH is driving new levels of technology innovation through its online research platform to ensure accessibility, and enhance ease of use and tight integration with workflow tools.
“Customers have seen some of the results of this investment with the release of new versions of CCH@Hand, Smart Charts and Interactive Research Aids greatly improving ease of use,” said Robert, “and you’ll see additional enhancements on an ongoing basis, with a continued drive to make our online products easier to use, and make information more accessible.”
Building Success Through Community
In closing, Robert thanked attendees for choosing CCH and reinforced CCH’s commitment to their success.
“CCH serves as a strategic partner to our customers, and we are delivering on that commitment through significant investment and innovation, to ensure that CCH customers maintain and advance their business leadership,” he said.
He encouraged attendees to speak with CCH executives, senior product management and development teams throughout the conference regarding their needs.
“The conference is the ideal forum for customers to tell us directly about the challenges you face and how CCH can partner with you to help you overcome those hurdles,” said Robert. “We will always listen closely to what customers need, and work those needs into our plans as we enhance and build the next wave of CCH products. We take our responsibility of being a strategic partner to our customers very seriously.”
