(Alliance News) - Netcall PLC on Tuesday said that trading has continued in line with management expectations in the first half, thanks to increased demand for its Liberty Cloud solutions.

The Bedford-based customer engagement software provider said it had seen strong uptake from new customers, driving double-digit growth in annual contract value and robust profitability.

Netcall also noted that interest in cloud-based contact centre solutions has continued from last year, with the first cloud contact centre customers now successfully migrated and live within a single public cloud environment.

"The group's strong pipeline and healthy balance sheet, together with an innovative product road map, including investment in artificial intelligence and intelligent automation to serve a growing market, underpin the board's confidence in the group's continuing success," Netcall said.

Netcall shares were trading 4.2% higher at 87.00 pence each in London on Tuesday morning.
