Marc De Keersmaecker, General Manager of RealDolmen, commented:
“Our H1 results confirm the previously announced improvement of our business. We start to reap the fruits of the many strategic initiatives taken over the last twelve months and the substantial efforts made by our people to actively support and contribute to those changes. Our applications and infrastructure services business demonstrate stability and good profitability. Both businesses are progressing well in the delivery of high-end technical services to our clients. Our products business is growing  even if we cautioned for a decline of this lower margin segment. The strategic shift of our Business Solutions division is well under way as confirmed by the substantial growth in turnover. EBIT improvement also in this part of the business should follow soon. Where Professional Services positions us higher into the technical value chain, our Business Solutions positions us at the center of the business processes of our clients. The combination of our offerings, our high end expertise and our financial stability position us as the partner of choice to manage our customers’ IT challenges. ”
