In a year defined by accelerated digital transformation in finance, Wolters Kluwer’s CCH Tagetik Powered by Expert AI has once again been recognized as a top innovator, earning multiple honors in the 2025 Dresner Advisory Services Application Innovation Awards.
These awards celebrate the highest performing vendors across Dresner’s Wisdom of Crowds® application-focused thematic market studies.
Recognizing the applications advancing modern finance
Dresner’s Application Innovation Awards honor leading solutions across key capability areas. Winners represent the most comprehensive and effective offerings in their respective domains.
For the 2025 cycle, CCH Tagetik again stood out by earning distinctions across several application areas such as:
- Financial Consolidation, Close Management & Reporting (FCCR)
- Sales Performance Management
- ESG Reporting
- Supply Chain Planning & Analytics
These accolades reflect the solution’s broad enterprise footprint and its unique ability to unify planning, consolidation, analytics, and ESG data across a single platform.
A platform built for the future of Corporate Performance Management
Much of CCH Tagetik’s momentum stems from the evolution of the Intelligent Platform, the market’s first AI powered corporate performance management solution. The platform’s integrated AI capabilities, including an embedded “super agent,” help finance teams automate previously manual tasks, accelerate close cycles, test assumptions, and run complex analyses with greater accuracy and speed.
These capabilities are especially impactful in financial consolidation and reporting, where Dresner’s 2025 research highlights the growing role of agentic AI automation in transforming close processes. The FCCR market, once considered mature, is now being reshaped by AI agents that autonomously collect data, reconcile accounts, and generate reporting packages, functionality CCH Tagetik is already delivering at scale.
Customer driven innovation recognized
Dresner Wisdom of Crowds® research is based on data collected on usage and deployment trends, products, and vendors. Users in all roles and throughout all industries contribute to provide a complete view of realities, plans, and perceptions of the market.
This validation builds on CCH Tagetik’s sustained leadership position across multiple Dresner market studies. Just months earlier, the platform was also named an Overall Leader in Customer Experience and Vendor Credibility in the 2025 Wisdom of Crowds EPM Market Study, marking the fifth consecutive year Wolters Kluwer has earned top rankings in both categories.
Industry leadership through breadth and depth
What sets CCH Tagetik apart is not simply its AI capabilities but its breadth across performance management disciplines. Dresner’s 2025 Application Innovation Awards recognize solutions capable of serving the finance function alongside adjacent domains such as supply chain and ESG, a critical requirement as organizations align operational planning with financial and sustainability targets.
This breadth is reflected in how enterprises use the platform: to consolidate global financials, optimize planning cycles, model ESG initiatives, forecast performance under regulatory changes, and manage sales performance with greater transparency.
A milestone reinforcing Wolters Kluwer’s innovation strategy
The 2025 wins reaffirm Wolters Kluwer’s position at the forefront of innovation in corporate performance and ESG technology. Dresner Advisory Services Founder and Chief Research Officer, Howard Dresner, emphasized the significance of these recognitions:
“Our research examines the wider performance application market, looking at those that target not only the finance function but also adjacent areas such as the supply chain, sales, and workforce. These studies highlight the top providers of the most thorough offerings in these application areas, and we congratulate those vendors for their strong solutions.”
For a market increasingly defined by speed, accuracy, and integrated intelligence, the award underscores how CCH Tagetik continues to help finance leaders modernize decision making and sustain competitive advantage.
