Innovation and Growth: The Software 500

Innovations drive the software industry which has once again been proved by The Software 500, 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. This year The Software 500 saw more than 100 new companies on the list for the first time, and the public/private company breakdown is 58% public and 42% private.

According to the results of the survey, the software industry continues to grow in total revenue, representing growth of 14.7% from the previous year ($451.8 billion in 2008 compared to $394 billion in 2007), while the total employee growth rate of 1.3% shows modest increase in comparison with 2007.

EPAM is proud to be named on the list (having advanced to the 190th place) along with 29 of its ISV clients, ranging from promising start-ups to global software leaders including three of the Top 10 honorees.

"We would like to congratulate our 29 ISV clients who made this year’s list. We extend our thanks for the opportunity we have enjoyed to grow together and to leverage each other’s strengths," commented Arkadiy Dobkin, EPAM’s President and CEO, noting: "We are also confident that many of our younger, but nevertheless innovative and fast growing clients will make the list in coming years."
