It’s a Guy Mamou-Mani (in photo above) frankly enthusiastic, which held its last bi-annual conference on the digital sector conditions in France. The President of Syntec Numérique, whose term expires in June, bows while SSII (or ESN in the new terminology of the employers’ association), publishers of software and technology consulting firms are expected to one year ostentation. The organization provides for 2.6% growth for the sector in 2016, 0.2 point better than the forecasts published in November last .
the improvement comes primarily from technology consulting, which should grow by 2% during the year, whereas at the end of last year Syntec Numérique still predicting growth limited to 1.2% 2016. as explained Pascal Brier, Vice President of Syntec Numérique, this improvement more than notable results from the restart investment in industry , particularly in the aerospace or automotive. Improvement also sensitive from 2015, since the technology consulting finally experienced last year growth of 1.6% – well above the original forecast, which was counting on a stable activity – against a decline 1.5% in 2014
But the advice and services. – weighing more than 60% of a sector generating 50.6 billion euros in sales – should also know a great year, with an expected growth of 2.5%, against 2% in 2015. the integration and consulting lead the way, while training / support and infrastructure outsourcing – strongly challenged by the Cloud – are more hardly. “ All growth comes from the digital transformation of companies says Guy Mamou-Mani. The historical part of service activities also saw volumes increase, but under the pressure of purchases, offshore and cloud, turnover is stable. “
Optimism among employers
In 2016, the Syntec Numérique grouped under the acronym Smacs – social, mobile, analytics, cloud and security – should know a growth of 18.2%, and weigh a total of 6.8 billion euros. “ And we are only at the beginning of the digital transformation. I guarantee a similar growth rate for these activities for 5 to 10 years ahead , “said Guy Mamou-Mani. Already prominent in 2015 (+ 3.4%), the software should his side continue its march forward, with expected growth of 3.6% this year.
beyond the raw numbers, the optimism of Syntec Numérique has its origin in the opinion of its members, publishers or service companies. 49% of them believe that the level of tendering and order books are improving; a level not seen for 3 years. And they are only 9% said instead that the situation is deteriorating. The Syntec Numérique confidence indicator follows each semester with IDC, which materializes the opinion that industry decision makers have of the situation, also reached the score of 122. Not since March 2011 or in March 2008 to find such a level . A logical optimism since CIOs seem to have new leeway. 80% of them expect an increase or stabilization of the IT spending in 2016 according to IDC; they were only 67% in this case a year ago. Note, however, that small and very small digital grouped in the professional union Cinov-IT, are a little less enthusiastic: the second half of 2015, 60% of them claimed to continue to suffer the effects of the crisis. For them too, the prospects seem however to improve, since only 16% consider their poor prospects for 2016 and 2017.
The digital at the heart of the presidential election?
“ Nevertheless, France is lagging behind other major industrialized countries in terms of IT investment. Now our business is a competitive lever for the economy as a whole , “said Christian Poyau, CEO Micropole and Syntec Numérique administrator. According to IDC, the software and services market is expected to grow 4.4% in 2016 in the world (3.2% in Western Europe).
Despite the very strong rebound in activity from the levels of 2012 and 2013, the Hexagon would therefore remain behind from competitors internationally. A subject that Syntec Numérique intends to bring the heart of the presidential campaign, which promises even if the trade union has met with little success in its awareness campaign new regional presidents. The organization will play on the heartstrings of employment. Employing 412,000 people , the sector created 12,000 net jobs in 2014, a poor yet believed to digital. “ It creates jobs for 22 consecutive quarters ,” says Godfrey of Bentzmann, Vice President of Syntec Numérique and candidate to succeed Guy Mamou-Mani. And nearly 94% of employees will benefit from CDI
