ANALYSYS

In cumulative terms up to the end of September (YTD), organic growth at constant scope and exchange rates amounts to + 21.6 % and is distributed as follows:

- Software: +26.4%

- Services: +21.1%

The Software division benefits from the «catch up» in relation to 2020 due to its «licensing» model. Numerous projects had been postponed.

The Services division benefits from the «embedded growth» effect. As a result, it is able to confirm its business plan based on double digit growth until 2025.
