(-0.1%) with contrasting trends between the Software & Services divisions

Revenue generated by the Software division reached €44.2m in H1 2024, up 2.0%. Growth was mainly driven by migration programs for installed base on the AMP platform with an increase of €1.0m over the period for the Front Office business. As previously announced, upgrades on new AMP applications entered an acceleration phase notably with the biggest customers.

Revenue at the Services division came to €15.3m in H1 2024, reflecting a temporary contraction of 5.7%, mainly owing to delays in signing new contracts in the consulting activity. The “Middle Office” activity remained positive and promising.
