IT / Software: the consecration of the cloud
The health crisis has generally had a positive impact on the software world, particularly the French market.

French software is doing well
By accelerating the digitization of exchanges and production methods, the health crisis has had a positive effect on the top hundred French software publishers. The cumulative turnover of the Truffle 100, ranking of French software publishers, increased by 6.6% from 10.9 billion euros in 2019 to 11.6 billion euros in 2020. Only 33% of these publishers show declining revenues, well below forecasts (62%). For the publishing business alone, all Truffle 100 revenues increased by 4.6%. 87% of these players offer SaaS (Software as a Service) and 63% want to increase their projects internationally, where 76% of them are already present.
Dassault Systèmes is still the leading French publisher, with 4.024 billion euros in revenue (+12.6%), followed by Sopra Steria (658.5 million), Murex (580 million) and Cegid (498 million euros, ). With growth of 56%, Claranova relegates Cegedim to sixth place.
The cloud strengthened by the health crisis
According to research firm Synergy Research, for the first time last year, companies around the world outsourced their data and software hosting more online, spending nearly $130 billion in the cloud. (+30% in one year). They have invested “only” 90 billion dollars in their computer rooms. First, the servers available online allowed massive remote use. In addition, the influx of new users on tools like Zoom or Teams has pushed the publishers of these software to spend more on cloud platforms. With 5G, currently being deployed, new uses will appear.
