Escher Group — the Irish-American software solutions provider — has said that its revenues for the first half of 2015 should come in at around $11.85 million (€10.9m), representing a year-on-year increase of 7%.

The magic that brings to life the exhibits at New York’s Museum of Natural History is running out as Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb (PG) opens, forcing Larry (Ben Stiller) to travel to London in order to rejuvenate the ancient Egyptian enchantment.

Specialist software group Escher has posted a 17% annualised jump in first-half adjusted pre-tax profit and a near 50% rise in revenue.
