    Mid-market ERP provider Exact Holding N.V. reported that revenue climbed 16% in the first half of this year, contributing to an earnings spike of 31% compared with the like period of 2005.

    For the first six months of 2006, the Netherlands-based company logged revenue of €118.3 million compared to €101.6 million in the same period of 2005. All of Exact's revenue lines moved up year over year, but the standout was service revenue, which surged 50% from €16 million in the first half of 2005 to €24 million in the first half of 2006. License revenue climbed 15%, from €28.1 million in 2005's first half to €32.4 million in the same period this year.
