The French software vendors have created 10,000 jobs in two … – The Digital Factory

  A study of EY and Syntec Numérique, the French software vendors continue to grow: they created nearly 5,800 jobs in 2013 and 10,000 in the last two years. This trend should continue in 2015 … provided that the claimed talents are available in the market.

  French software development continues unabated. According to the 2014 edition of the Top 250 survey, conducted by EY (formerly Ernst & amp; Young) cabinet and Syntec Numérique of the 250 biggest publishers, the industry continues to ignore the crisis with a jump of 6% turnover of 9 billion euros in 2013 over two years, growth was 20%.

  Mobile, Big Data and Cloud are driving

 Franck Sebag, a partner at EY says that momentum by the development of mobile, big data or cloud computing. Sales of software as a service (Saas Software as a service) account for 17% of turnover in 2013, against 11% in 2012 still a low figure is explained by the reluctance of companies to adopt this model Consumer software. Progress in this field is slower than expected. “In four years, we went from about 100 million in revenue in Saas 1.5 billion, Vanryb recalls Bruno, president and publisher Avanquest Software president of software college Syntec Numérique. This is huge. I know of no other human activities that can do the same. “

 The sector also continues to hire. According to the study, its numbers have swelled to nearly 5,800 people in 2013 in two years, nearly 10 000 jobs have been created. The analysis, however, does not specify how much in France. These figures include jobs created abroad. The trend is expected to continue in 2015, with 75% of respondents planning to hire again.

  The shortage of talent is a drag

 The only problem? The talent shortage could hinder this development. “The war for talent is in full swing, says Franck Sebag. Publishers are struggling to recruit experts from Big Data or profile dual technical-marketing skills” . Intersec, publisher of data analysis software for telecom operators, has hired 40 people this year out of a total of 180 Scality today, software vendor cloud storage, recruited thirty people on a staff of 100 The two companies say experience the greatest difficulty in finding the desired profiles. The risk, according to Bruno Vanryb, is to see the French publishers forced to grow outside of France, where the skills are abundant.
