CEO Gilles Battier says

“We are proud to have been nominated in the ‘productivity’ category, because this is the area where we make our n° 1 commitment to our customers. For over 25 years, innovation has been a core concern and our credo has always been about helping our customers to increase their productivity. Every year, we invest 20% of revenue in R&D. SICOM is the result of this research and our strong investment in the SYSTEMATIC competitiveness cluster. So it is very satisfying and logical for this groundbreaking software to be nominated for an award that recognizes the capacity to innovate”.
