Loïc Sautour, CEO of Planisware, commented on the results, noting the company's resilience in the face of prolonged customer decision-making processes. 'We continue to leverage the close relationships we have with our existing clients while also initiating commercial relationships with new clients,' Sautour stated. This strategy appears to be paying off, as the company navigates through macroeconomic uncertainties with caution.
