Here are the key facts and trends for the first quarter of 2022: In the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), the recovery of the IT services market that began last year continued. Although the annual contract value of new contracts was down on the exceptionally strong first quarter of the previous year, it rose significantly in the first quarter compared to the fourth quarter of 2021, namely by 33% to USD 823 million (EUR 766 million).
