The first priority, in the digital society, is to guarantee the performance and security of mission-critical systems on which public and private sector organizations depend to run their businesses. With this in mind, we have focused our innovation strategy on technologies that deliver power (supercomputers and data centers that will be at the heart of Cloud ‘computing power plants’) and security (logical, physical and electronic).
Both these strategic areas for Bull are characterized by high levels of technical excellence and added value, as pointed out by the Republic of Congo’s IT and Telecoms Minister, Thierry Moungalla, and Bastien Vigneron of Xerox France in this issue of Bull Direct.
Today, Bull offers a unique combination: the ability to process massive amounts of data to accelerate innovation and the creation of radical new products and services, as well as in-depth expertise in security. This dual capability enables the Group to design, build and operate extraordinarily reliable infrastructures to meet your challenges and help you preserve and capitalize on your information capital, integrate your business applications, protect your people and assets…
In this last, highly sensitive area, we have just launched Shadow, a new-generation intelligent signal jammer that clearly illustrates our know-how and capacity for innovation in defense electronics. Based on unique technology, Shadow adapts to the threat and gauges its countermeasures appropriately, which makes it the ideal tool to protect personnel, convoys and sensitive events or infrastructures.
With 2010 results ahead of market expectations – revenues up by 12% and net profit virtually quadrupled – Bull has positioned itself in these high added-value sectors, and fully intends to accelerate its growth, especially internationally.
With our uniquely European profile, and as a specialist in some of the most demanding disciplines, our aim is to be one of your key trusted partners. Thank you again for your continued support.

Chairman and CEO, Bull
