Atlas Business Solutions Named to Software Magazine's 34th Annual Software 500

Software Magazine ranks Atlas Business Solutions as one of the World's Largest Software Companies in 2016

Fargo, ND - January 17, 2017 - Atlas Business Solutions, Inc. today announces its inclusion in Software Magazine's 2016 Software 500 ranking of the world's largest software and service providers, now in its 34th year. This is the eighth time Atlas Business Solutions has appeared in the top 500 ranking.

Atlas Business Solutions ranked 472 out of 500, with a total software and services revenue of just over $3 million. "As we continue our transition from PC software license sales to a true SaaS model, we expect to see much higher revenue growth in the coming years," says Jon Forknell, Vice President and General Manager of Atlas Business Solutions. "Our business was originally built on new customer revenue and upgrade revenue from our line of PC software titles. We have now focused our business on our SaaS offerings, specifically our web-based employee scheduling applications, ScheduleAnywhere and ScheduleBase."

According to Software Magazine, the total software and service revenue for the 2016 Software 500 reached $705.8 billion, down 5.7% from the $748.7 billion reported in the 2015 Software 500. Top growth areas include business process management, social analytics, and database/data management, all offering an average growth per company above 50 percent over the 2015 fiscal year. Continued market consolidation and privatization leaves opportunity for the inclusion at the bottom of the ranking for smaller organizations, like Atlas Business Solutions.

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 ranking is based on total worldwide software and services revenue for 2015. This includes revenue from software licenses, maintenance and support, training, and software-related services, and consulting. Suppliers are not ranked on total corporate revenue, since many have other lines of business, such as hardware. Financial information is gathered by a survey and using public documents and company input. The results are posted online at www.softwaremag.com as both a digital edition and searchable database.
