Sales for the "CRM and strategic data" have more than tripled since 2000 and represent 58% of the Group’s sales revenue at December 31, 2007. This increase was particularly affected by the acquisition of Dendrite in 2007 which enabled the Group to cross a strategic threshold in its development. Sustained internal and external growth has allowed Cegedim to cover over 80 countries at present with an extensive line of products and services. The computerization of “Healthcare professionals,” initiated in French doctors’ offices, expanded to the United Kingdom in 1999 and to French pharmacists in 2001. It continued through the acquisition of software for doctors publishing companies in Belgium (2003), in Italy (2006), in Spain (2006) and software for pharmacists publishing companies in the United Kingdom (2004). The “Insurances and services” sector, historically devoted to managing direct billing and direct payment health insurance flows, has, since 2000, included computerization services and software packages for members of the healthcare insurance and pension industries. This sector has strengthened steadily since 2003 and again in 2008 with the marketing of the new range of “ACTIV’Insurance Suite” solutions and the acquisition of Protectia, a French publisher of health software packages aimed at personal insurance, established particularly well on the middle market.
