Satisfactory growth in the first half

The increase in turnover recorded during the 1st half shows entirely organic growth of 8.3% to €103.3 million.

The level of inter-contracts remained under control at 2% over the half-year and recruitments were numerous, despite the tensions observed in the sector, with 216 entries made over the half-year, i.e. an internal workforce of 1,557 employees at the end of June 2017.

For the Services activity, the good momentum recorded over the half-year on digitalization projects benefited all sectors. The Banking sector (33.8% of revenue) remains the leading contributor to revenue, the Industry sector (26.9% of revenue) maintains its relative share and the Services-Transport and Insurance sectors -Retirement retain a respective share of 22.4% and 13.3% of revenue.

In the second quarter, the Software activity recorded an increase in turnover of 11.9% to €2.24 million with a level of royalties increasing to €1.39 million. Several trials and POCs are underway both for products in the Infotel range such as Arcsys or Infoscope but also for software in distribution such as zCost or Correlog.
