Fargo, ND - Sept. 11, 2013 - Atlas Business Solutions, Inc. today announces its inclusion in Software Magazine's Software 500 ranking of the world's largest software and service providers, now in its 31st year. This is the sixth time Atlas Business Solutions has appeared in the top 500 ranking in the last 10 years.

Atlas Business Solutions was ranked 497, with a total software and services revenue of $2.2 million. "Although our revenue growth is modest, we are successfully transitioning from a PC, license-based model to a true SaaS model," says Jon Forknell, Vice President and General Manager of Atlas Business Solutions. "This means as we continue to grow our SaaS customer base and expand our online offerings, we are poised for significant growth in the years to come."

"The 2013 Software 500 results show that employment in the software and services industry was very healthy, increasing 9.5 percent to total Software 500 company employment of 4,924,121," says John P. Desmond, editor, Software Magazine. "At the same time, overall revenue was up four percent from last year to $672.9 billion," he adds.

"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 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.
