Parature Named to Software Magazine?s 25th Annual Software 500
Vienna, VA (PRWEB) October 16, 2007-- Parature, the global leader in on-demand customer support and help desk software, announced today its inclusion on the Software Magazine?s Software 500 ranking of the world?s largest software and service providers, now in its 25th year.
?The 2007 Software 500 results show that growth in the software and services industry was healthy from 2006 to 2007, the ranking year. The industry continues to be dynamic with more than 98 new companies on the list this year for the first time,? says John P. Desmond, editor of Software Magazine and Softwaremag.com. ?The top four business sectors this year are System Integration Services/IT Consulting, Application Development, Financial Applications and Security Tools/Systems. It may be the case that the difficulty companies have in developing and keeping their own IT skilled workers, is driving demand for services firms.
?Total employee head count is up 14.7% from the previous year?s Software 500, reversing the decline of last year. Sectors seeing the highest rates of employee growth included Search/Portal tools, Security/Tools/Systems, Messaging/Communications and Wireless/Mobile,? Desmond says. ?In addition, about 73% of the Software 500 companies saw revenue growth in 2006.?
?The Software 500 helps CIOs, senior IT managers and IT staff research and create the short list of business partners,? Desmond says. ?It is a quick reference of vendor viability. That is content of value.?
Some 37 percent of the 2006 Software 500 companies are privately held.
