EXACT DROPS DOS VERSIONS

Erik Van der Meijden, ExactThe statement that Exact has killed the DOS versions of its software is not new that will set the world trembling. The mention was one of the facts dropped by CEO Erik Van der Meijden during a recent earnings webcast. He described that as "a painful step" and said it was taken because of the latest version of SQL Server. What the issue reminds is that while we talk about the move to the cloud and the latest and greatest technology, there's a part of the world that is anything but up-to-date.

EXACT SLOWS CUSTOMER LOSS

 Erik van der Meijden, ExactThe message for Exact's first half ended June 30 was not the brightest news, but it was an improvement. The company has reduced the rate at which it is losing customers. "We have seen an improvement in the attrition rates in all businesses," chief executive Erik van der Meijden said in an earnings webcast. And in the Americas that meant a decline in revenue for Job Boss, Macola and Max. The Job Boss numbers were disappointing since it had been a doing better. Exact is staking its future on its Exact Online product, which is moving into the United States in beta form. In the meantime, it improved profitability despite a decline in revenue for the period just reported. Net income was about $20 million, a 56.2-percent increase from last year's first half. That improvement was accomplished by cost cutting stemming from last year's reorganization. However, the company boosted sales and marketing spending. Revenue of roughly $140 million for the most recently ended period was off by 3.2 percent from a year ago. Specialized Solutions had revenue of about $51.8 million, a 5.5-percent drop. That category includes the three American manufacturing products, Longview and Lohn. Profitability also fell with EBIDTA declining 14.4 percent to about $8.4 million. Americas revenue was around $30 million. All figures are in constant currencies
