Hi Mat,
Try this:

mwdf<-read.table(text=
"Categorie Y10_11 Y11_12 Y12_13 Y13_14
 Service              1      2     3       4
 Support             2      5     5       0
 Telephone         1      3     1      10 
 Online              10   12      6       8
 Offline               8      7      0       2
 Hotline              15  18      7      3",
 header=TRUE)
matplot(t(mwdf[,2:5]),type="b",xaxt="n")
axis(1,at=1:4,labels=names(mwdf)[2:5])
legend(3,17,mwdf[,1],pch=as.character(1:6),col=1:6)
