AF Software GmbH successfully positioned itself early on as a highly specialized software company. With its winra software for in-house counsel, the company was market leader in Germany.
The company’s positioning as a niche provider was very successful, but the ever shorter development cycles for software made an amortization increasingly difficult. By selling the company, the generational succession was to be completed and the company was to be well positioned for the future.
AF Software GmbH had already been in contact with Wolters Kluwer, the largest provider of software-supported workflows and legal content in the legal environment, for many years. With the integration of winra into their portfolio, the foundation for a new division at Wolters Kluwer was set.
