eGain Named to Software Magazine’s Annual Software 500 List for Seventh Year in a Row
Software Magazine ranks eGain as one of the world’s largest software companies in its 27th annual list.
Mountain View, CA, September 23, 2009 --(PR.com)-- eGain Communications Corporation (OTC BB: EGAN.OB), the leading provider of multichannel customer service and knowledge management software, on-site and on-demand, today announced its inclusion in the Software Magazine’s Software 500 ranking of the world’s largest software and service providers, now in its 27th year.
“The 2009 Software 500 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,” says John P. Desmond, editor of Software Magazine and Softwaremag.com.
“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. And the online version to be posted soon at www.Softwaremag.com is searchable by category, making it what we call the online catalog to enterprise software.”
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.
“Being named for the seventh year in a row to the Software 500 is an honor for eGain,” said Ashu Roy, Chairman and CEO of eGain. “eGain's ranking has improved since last year’s list, reinforcing the growing demand for multichannel customer service and knowledge management software and services.”
The Software 500 list is published online at www.softwaremag.com.
