(Reuters) -Atos reported a drop in first-quarter revenue on Thursday, hit by a lower order entry in 2024 due to a sharp reduction of business process outsourcing activities in Britain, but signalled more orders coming from clients.

The IT group's revenue came in at 2.07 billion euros ($2.35 billion), down 15.9% from a year ago.
