A seamless transition and bright horizon for customers and partners
Thomson Reuters is a content-driven technology company that serves professionals across legal, tax, accounting, government, and media. Our partnership accelerates our mutual vision for a globally connected ecosystem of compliance solutions powered by the world’s largest smart business network, including solutions for e-invoicing, amongst other capabilities - ready to meet the evolving needs of customers worldwide.
As we look forward to further developing the potential this transaction brings, we want to reassure all our customers and partners across 140+ countries that their existing contracts, services, points of contact and support channels remain unchanged. Pagero as a company, brand and product portfolio remains unchanged. We will continue to invest in Pagero's platforms and solutions, with the ambition to remain a market leading product and vendor.
We remain committed to our mission to build the world’s largest smart business network. Over time, customers and partners will also be able to take advantage of combining Pagero's offerings with the Thomson Reuters ONESOURCE suite, which provides enhanced compliance support and global scalability through a single, trusted vendor.
“I am excited to embark on this journey and believe that Pagero and Thomson Reuters joining forces and combining our offerings will create an unparallelled new player on the market. Our primary focus continues to be our customers and our partners, and we remain committed to helping you make buying and selling easy.” Bengt Nilsson, CEO of Pagero.
A shared vision for an enhanced partner ecosystem and continued openness and collaboration
This merger extends beyond integrating two leading global players. It represents a step towards offering an enhanced and expanded product portfolio to our partner and customer ecosystems, ensuring that every participant finds new avenues for growth and collaboration.
Through this merger, we will embrace an open-market approach, allowing all partners (including those with overlapping propositions with Pagero and Thomson Reuters) to thrive in our vibrant business network reaching more than 14 million businesses. We believe this approach will maximize end-customer value by providing choice and encouraging partners to leverage parts, or all, of our product portfolio.
“Our successful commercial partnership with Pagero is a testament to our strategic and cultural fit, and we are thrilled to now be able to welcome the talented Pagero team to Thomson Reuters. We are excited by the unique potential of Pagero’s Smart Business Network and fully recognize the significant value this open ecosystem provides to customers, suppliers and authorities.” Steve Hasker, President and CEO of Thomson Reuters.
Looking ahead with optimism
With our combined expertise, we are building a future where businesses can leverage digitalization to easily manage operational inefficiencies, the complexities of cross-border operations and multinational regulatory compliance.
We are committed to a thoughtful and transparent transition, ensuring that the benefits of this merger are realized across our customer and partner communities.
Thank you for your continued trust.
