Rising personnel costs (average IT salary growth ~6.5% in 2024) can squeeze margins if CENIT cannot pass increases to clients via higher daily rates. Attracting and retaining PLM (product lifecycle management) and EIM (enterprise information management) experts remains a constant hurdle amid competition from Big Tech and niche consultancies.
