Organic growth driven by Systems Integration

Consulting was down slightly but in line with budget. The underlying trends remained good, with double digit growth in France, the Netherlands and Spain and the pipeline remains buoyant, particularly in the United Kingdom.

Systems Integration generated steady organic growth of +6.0 % for Q1 2006 driven by continued strength in Application Lifecycle Management and ERP high added-value business segments.

Managed Operations organic growth was +0.7 % with active contract renewals and encouraging business fertilisation.

Healthy book-to-bill

The book-to-bill ratio (excluding the long-term Business Process Outsourcing activities) remained strong at 117 % due to a particularly active renewal programme and some large new business signed during the period.

Growing backlog and pipeline

The full backlog at the end of March 2006 was over EUR 7.5 billion, representing 1.4 x annual revenues. The full qualified pipeline reached EUR 2.7 billion at the end of March, up +21 % year on year and +5 % since the beginning of the year. This will support the organic growth for the rest of the year.

Bernard Bourigeaud, Chairman of the Management Board, declared: “During the 1st quarter, we executed the Olympics contract with success. Due to the strong backlog and pipeline, we remain confident in achieving 5 % organic growth for the full year 2006, with a progressive improvement in performance quarter by quarter.”
