Growth continued to be driven by the continued success of cloud - based solutions , which grew 26 % to 49.5 million euros , representing close to 77 % of total company revenue . Professional implementation services grew 13 % to represent 17 % of the company's business . The high number of deals closed since Q4 2020 will result in an acceleration in implementation services growth . The performance of traditional license - based products and legacy products recorded a slight recovery ( + 6 % ) and now represent only 6 % of total revenue . The growth in cloud - based revenue comes from sales success achieved in 2020 and 2021 , and the renewed use of Esker's platform by its customers as they gradually emerge from the COVID - 19 pandemic . Contracts signed since July 1 , 2020 accounted for 37 % of cloud - based activity growth in the first half of 2021 , with the remainder coming from contracts signed prior to this date .
