Internationally, Groupe Open continued to post outstanding sustained growth of 9.7% over
H1 2015.

Over the period, Groupe Open focused on its positioning and recorded a number of successes:
- on the major Industrial Transformation projects of its clients (+9% in H1) in France and Benelux, with a particularly strong progression on turnkey projects, thus positioning the company as a long-term partner for its key accounts;
- in developing its Production Centres and enhancing its expertise in Mobility, Geolocation, Operational Maintenance and Agility;
- in Digital Transformation (+21% in H1), notably with the launch of new initiatives, such as OpenUp.
Last April, as part of its digital strategy, Groupe Open launched OpenUp, a unique, innovative service to evaluate the mobile reputation of applications, based on semantic analysis and classification of the opinions expressed by users in e-stores.
To accompany this growth, Groupe Open has created the position of Chief Digital Officer, appointing Francis Poirot to take up this mission and the responsibilities that go with it. He will therefore be taking charge of Digital Innovation (new offerings) for Groupe Open clients and will be managing the roll-out of the company's Digital Transformation programmes in all different areas: Brand, Customer Relations, Product and Service Offering and Processes. Francis Poirot will therefore be reporting directly to Frédéric Sebag.

In a more favourable economic environment, this half-year period was marked by an acceleration in the growth of Groupe Open.
