eGain named to Software Magazine’s 24th annual “Software 500” list for fourth year in a row
Mountain View, Calif. (October 25, 2006): eGain Communications (OTC BB: EGAN.OB), provider of the industry’s top-rated* customer service and contact center software for in-house or on-demand deployment, today announced its inclusion on the Software 500, Software Magazine’s list of the world’s foremost software and services providers.
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 2005. 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.
“The software industry continues to be dynamic with more than 90 new companies on the list this year,” says John P. Desmond, editor of Software Magazine and Softwaremag.com. “The Software 500 helps CIOs, senior IT managers and IT staff create the short list of business partners. It is a quick reference of vendor viability.”
“Being part of the Software 500 for the fourth year in a row is a great honor for eGain,” said Ashu Roy, CEO of eGain. “Moving up almost 30 spots from last year shows the increasing importance of customer service as a business differentiator and the growing demand for robust customer interaction hub software.”
