Infotel published a revenue growth of 7.2% to €248.4m for full-year 2019, in a market that grew by 4.2% according to Syntec Numérique.
Services recorded a growth of 7.8% in Q4 2019 despite one working day less. Over the full year, Services revenue grew by 7.2%, driven by ongoing digital transformation projects in all areas of business.
The Banking sector grew in terms of value and is still the biggest contributor to revenue, accounting for 35.9%, followed by Manufacturing (28.3%), Services (21.2%) and Insurance & Retirement (12.5%). The international offices turned in a solid performance, with growth of 47% for Infotel UK (€3.6m) and 63% for Infotel Monaco (€4.8m).
Several new major contracts were signed in recent months with clients including Air France, BNP Paribas, BPCE, Airbus, ATR, Banque de France and COVEA. These contracts are already contributing to the strong momentum seen at the start of 2020.
Although the recruitment market remains tight, the Group added 425 new employees, taking the headcount to 2,589 at the end of December. The inter-contract rate remained very low at 1.9% for the year.


Software revenue was up 1.4%, with IBM royalties totalling €4.4m over the full year.
For the Orlando software solution, new licences were signed with Allegiant (the first licence in the United States) and Spanish airlines Fly Level and Wamos Air.
Intense marketing campaigns are continuing for Orlando and discussions are under way with leading airlines.
Active sales efforts are also ongoing for the archiving solution Arcsys in Germany and the United States. Under the innovation project launched in 2019, Infotel is currently working on the creation and rollout of new software solutions to meet requirements identified by its major clients.
With its recently signed new contracts, the strong level of business and clients' renewed confidence to extend Infotel's contribution to new services or move towards new technologies, the Group is confident that it will continue on its new growth path in 2020.
Listed on Compartment B of Euronext Paris since January 1999 (ISIN code FR0000071797), Infotel specialises in information management systems for major accounts, from mobile to very high-volume databases (Big Data).
