(AOF) – Cegedim recorded consolidated revenue for the first quarter of 2022 of 129.2 million euros, up 5.5% in published data and 5.0% in organic data. All operating divisions are contributing to this growth. In Software & Services, revenue amounted to 71.2 million euros, up 2.7% organically.
Despite “the health, economic, geopolitical and monetary uncertainties in the world, the group is confident in its ability to achieve growth in its turnover”.
Cegedim thus anticipates organic revenue growth of around 5% in 2022. The inflationary risks, in particular on wages, resulting from the current geopolitical situation, encourage the group to temporarily suspend the communication of a 2022 target for current operating income.

The talent war has been further reinforced by the announcement of Facebook, which intends to make 10,000 hires within five years in Europe. The lack of human resources is not limited to France or Europe: it is global. Thus 1.2 million computer engineers are expected to be missing in 2026 in the United States. In France, according to Numeum, federation of the digital sector, there is a shortage of around 10,000 computer engineers out of a total of 600,000 people employed by software publishers and digital service companies (SSII). If the phenomenon is not new, it is intensifying. It is reinforced both by the hiring of certain companies, looking for developers to internalize their essential digital projects, and by the strong ambitions of certain start-ups.
