About The Software 500

The Software 500 is a 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 list includes both private and public companies and can be found online at www.Softwaremag.com.

The ranking is based on total worldwide software and service revenue for 2005.

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 public documents as well as a survey prepared by King Content Co.
