The Software 500 is a revenue-based ranking of the world's largest software and services suppliers, targeting medium to large enterprises, their IT professionals, software developers and business managers involved in software and services purchasing.
"The 2009 Software 500 is created to help CIOs, senior IT managers and IT staff research and create a short list of business partners," says John P. Desmond, editor of Software Magazine and Softwaremag.com. "The results show that revenue growth in the software and services industry was healthy, with total Software 500 revenue of $491.3 billion worldwide for 2008 representing 8.8% growth from the previous year."
Magic Software's high ranking is attributed to the increasing awareness and demand for its application platform; uniPaaS, and the company's code-free iBOLT business and process integration suite. Demand for the iBOLT suite has led Magic Software to increase its range of adaptors to fit a number of new applications, including SAP, Salesforce.com, Lotus Notes, HL7, IBM i, and JD Edwards. The company also recently announced the latest version of the uniPaaS application platform, version 1.8, supporting .NET integration for Rich Internet Applications, SaaS and mobile devices.
"Magic Software's ranking in the Software 500 is validation of our continued growth and commitment to enabling enterprises and Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) to easily and cost-effectively develop, deploy and integrate business applications that fit their specific needs," says Regev Yativ, president and CEO of Magic Software Enterprises Americas. "Our success is a result of our ability to offer agile solutions that conserve resources, deliver value and adjust to the specific needs of organizations looking to incorporate solutions into their existing business and technology processes."
The ranking is based on total worldwide software and services revenue for 2008. This includes revenues from software licenses, maintenance and support, training and software-related services and consulting. Suppliers are not ranked on their total corporate revenue, since many have other lines of business, such as hardware. The financial information was gathered by a survey prepared by King Content Co. and posted at www.Softwaremag.com, as well as from public documents.
