An excellent year for Services
Services generated growth of +7% in Q4 2018, drawing on a substantial comparison base effect (Q4 2017 growth of +14.7%), bringing full-year growth to +11%.
Digitisation projects were the primary growth driver in all business sectors. The Banking industry is the No. 1 target sector for Infotel teams and currently accounts for more than 38% of the Services business. Industry comes out at 26% and Services more than 21% of the division’s business.
New contracts have been signed in recent months, including a stronger partnership with Air France, expanded business with the RATP and the roll-out of new projects at Oney Banque.
Even in a tense hiring market, the Group added 451 new employees, with 1,673 employees at end December out of a total of 2,406 people. The inter-contract rate remained very low for the year at 1.8%.
Software saw its revenue pick up 2.8%, earning IBM royalties of €4.3m over the full year. Lastly, the Group signed a deal with Mistral Air and Israir to operate its Orlando software.
