Indianapolis, IN (PRWEB) November 10, 2008 -- Consona Corporation (Consona), a leading provider of enterprise resource planning (ERP) software (http://www.consona.com/Consona/default.aspx?pagename=Enterprise-Resource-Planning-Software) and customer relationship management (CRM) software (http://www.consona.com/consona/default.aspx?pagename=Customer-Relationship-Management-Software) and services for the companies of all sizes, today announced its inclusion in Software Magazine's Software 500 ranking of the world's largest software and services providers, now in its 26th year.
Consona was ranked 183, increasing its position by 28 spots with revenue growth of more than 64 percent when compared to the previous year.
"Our consistent ranking increase in the Software 500 is a testament to a successful balance between an aggressive acquisition strategy and the ability to provide innovative, customer-driven technology solutions," said Jeff Tognoni, CEO of Consona Corporation.
"The 2008 Software 500 results show that revenue growth in the software and services industry was healthy, with total Software 500 revenue of $451.8 billion worldwide for 2007 representing 14.7 percent growth from the previous year," said John P. Desmond, editor of Software Magazine and Softwaremag.com.
"The Software 500 helps CIOs, senior IT managers and IT staff research create the short list of business partners," Desmond added. "It is a quick reference of vendor viability. And the online version posted 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 2007. 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.
