Economic situation: 2012, one year difficult for the IT and the recession for the council

No the rA©cession for the marchA© of the software and services IT in 2012, as a whole. Ca?? is the prA©vision of the cabinet franA§ais CAP. For this annA©e, CAP counts thus on a growth of 0,9%, against 3,2% in 2011.

This only indicator total could let believe that joined CAP of tendency da?? IDC (+1,2%) and of Syntec NumA©rique (+1%). Not really if one takes account of the rA©partition of this growth between the activitA©s of this marchA© of the software and services in France.

FA©brilitA© in the budgets of the DSI

For the software, the cabinet prA©voit in 2012 a rise of 1% (NumA©rique and). On the other hand, Ca?? is well a rA©cession which is awaited by CAP in the field of council IT (- 1,4%) and of the services da?? intA©gration (- 0,9%).

Of their cA/tA©, IDC and Syntec NumA©rique A©taient more optimistic. IDC, which rA©dige the economic situation reports of the employers’ fA©dA©ration, has annoncA© as a fA©vrier that services IT should record +1,1% of growth this annA©e.

Trade unions and direction in conflict on the future of the DSI of GDF Suez

DA©cisions IT – Repré feeling the personnel and direction of the DSI are in dé saccord on l’ future of the data-processing direction. The DSI of GDF Suez wishes qu’ it becomes a subsidiary company of the group, with a Syntec collective agreement.

Is the climate obviously tended within the direction of the systA¨mes da?? information of the group GDF Suez. In question: a project of subsidiarization of the DSI and a change of status of the personnel.

As CGT in a communiquA© brings it back, direction of the DSI and reprA©sentants of the personnel is in dA©saccord. The director of the DSI, asserting nA©cessitA© for the DSI da?? With? tre indA©pendante of the siA¨ge to put in has? uvre its stratA©gie of dA©veloppement, would wish to make a subsidiary company of it.

L `increasing externalisation dA©jA  source of tensions

a subsidiary company which relA¨verait common right and dA©pendrait of the Syntec collective agreement. A scA©nario that the reprA©sentants of the personnel refuse for which a indA©pendance could has? tre acquired through the constitution da?? “new A©tablissement of GDF SUEZ has. With”

In addition to the maintenance of the DSI like unitA© of the group, the trade unions wish engagements on the protection of the staff regulations (current and has  to come) from the data-processing direction. The rA©gime Syntec, which would be applicable in the event of subsidiarization, is dA©noncA© as less protective than the convention whose bA©nA©ficient currently the salariA©s.

Between trade unions and direction of the DSI, the tensions are however not new as reports it. In does May, one reprA©sentant of the CFDT trade union have “raised?? impression gA©nA©rale da?? a strong volontA© of the direction of the DSI to maximize the recourse has  With”.

Ainsi three quarters of manpower are dA©jA  external, he added. The volontA© da?? a subsidiarization could thus aim has  to tend towards more still da?? externalisation.

trades of data processing not savings by the rise of unemployment

Figures – In July, the chô magus of the data processing specialists set out again &worsen; the rise aprè S several months consé cutifs of fall. L’ uncertainty é conomic increased of the derniè LMBO weeks could directly affect the plans of recruitments of the é diteurs and of the software firms.

In June, the Minister for Labour had A©tA© taken of short face has  the rise of the number of applicants da?? employment. In did July, Xavier Bertrand take the initiative and prA©venu before my? me it publication of the rA©sultats that the figures would be dA©cevants.

small a manA? uvre thus to announce an increase of 1,3% of the number of applicants da?? does employment have?? malgrA© the rise of 25% of the administrative disbaring. In July, the sector of?? data processing and of the tA©lA©communications Na?? A©chappA© does not have  the tendency, my? me if the rate of chA/magus is there clearly infA©rior has  the national average.

According to of Dares (Direction of the Animation of Research, the Studies and the Statistics), the number of registered people has  PA/le Employment, drops some since dA©cembre 2010, sets out again has  the rise.

Ca?? is thus 1. 000 applicants recensA©s moreover between June and July.

a bad news thus for the data processing specialists in research da?? activitA©. However, diffA©rents allowed these last months da?? espA©rer a durable resumption of?? employment. Thus, the offers has  destination of the executives with the growth.

the prA©visions D `recruitings still crA©dibles?

With the deuxiA¨me quarter, 93% of the companies of the IT sector dA©claraient to have recrutA©. The prA©vision of?? Apec for the 3rd quarter is more or less A©quivalente. However, within SME?? optimism of a©taient recruiters less rigour.

In addition?? World A©conomy is always, as the multiple sudden starts of the derniA¨res weeks tA©moignent some. With the deuxiA¨me quarter, the growth franA§aise has A©tA© null. In consA©quence, the government re-examined and does not count any more but on 1,75% of growth of the GDP in 2011 and 2012.

Face has  these signals of crisis, the companies could dA©cider apply a brake has  their dA©penses data-processing. For lack of visibilitA© A©conomique, could dA¨s at the time freezing or to re-examine has  the fall their recruitings.

The program da?? externalisation da?? a big part of projects IT of the SNCF, wanted by the direction, still does not pass auprA¨s of the data processing specialists and the trade unions.
