The software In 2014, the added value of information and communication activities reached € 93 billion or 4.4% of French GDP, against 3.5% in 1980. >

This is indicated by a note entitled Thirty-five years in information and communication services | The rise of software has released INSEE. “If you do two days on the same, the third day will make the software in your place” .

The investment in Internet-related software and services driving growth. In 2014, they reached 54 billion euros, or 15.6% of the total investment companies and administrations.

The computer is largely out of his turn ivory, alias data centers become the data center today, whether in-house or corporate cloud services to power. So that where the collection of related technologies is now widely shared by the general public, companies have continued to increase their investments.

It is true that according to Moore’s Law, computing power provided to a given price does not stop growing. The analysis of IDC statistics (Reshuffle on the server market) shows that in ten years, the average price of servers increased from 6830 dollars to 5050 dollars in the second quarter of 2015 without taking into account the increase in performance. The evolution of the average price for the HP and Dell servers (catalog of more homogeneous servers) gives the following figures: from 6900 to 5870 dollars for HP following the general trend of 3200-4900 dollars to Dell that it expanded its range up.

Companies also continue to develop their own software and those account for about a third of investments.

The ranking of the top 5 countries of the European Union according to the amount of expenditure by GDP does not give much surprise: The UK is ahead of Germany and France is equality, then Spain and Italy. These five economies produce almost three quarters of the value added of information and communication services in the European Union which is about 433 billion euros.
