On the other hand , our Amplify offering , based on our recognized API Management solution , which should enable us to accelerate our growth through a more aggressive market share expansion strategy . This vision has led to many changes within our teams , the first effects of which are already visible . Over the last 6 months , new customer signatures have increased , and we further improved our Net Promoter Score . Our operational performance is satisfactory , with a fourfold increase in profit from operating activities compared to the first half of 2020.
