Software Magazine Ranks Halogen Software as one of the World's Largest Software Companies
OTTAWA, Ontario, August 21, 2002 -- Halogen Software today announced its spot on the Software 500, Software Magazine's list of the world's foremost software and services providers, featured in the publication's Summer Edition 2002 issue. Halogen Software was ranked 490 with software revenue of 2.6 million US.
"Although IT spending was slow last year, many software product and service suppliers did do well," says John Desmond, Software Magazine's editorial director. "Companies who can deliver rapid return on investment for their customers with focused product offerings had better results. CIOs and senior IT managers can peruse this yearly benchmark to see how their product and service partners fared. That's a valuable service."
"Halogen Software is honored to be recognized by Software Magazine," says Paul Loucks, president of Halogen Software. "This distinction reflects our growth over the last few years and dedication to providing leading-edge software."
The Software 500 is a comprehensive look at the software industry targeting enterprise IT organizations with software and services. The list includes both private and public companies. The Software 500 is a worldwide list in that it is open to any company to submit financial and product information via the annual Software 500 survey, which for the first time this year was conducted 100% on the Web by The Standish Group, a research and analyst firm based in Yarmouthport, Mass. The ranking is based on total worldwide software and service revenue for 2001. 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. Companies are measured on calendar year revenues whenever possible to compare the same four quarters; fiscal year exceptions are noted. The financial information was gathered by a survey prepared by the Standish Group with King Content Co. and posted at www.softwaremag.com, as well as from public documents. All the charts are based on the survey results.
The Software 500 ranking is first published in print and later posted to www.softwaremag.com. An announcement of when the Software 500 will be posted online will be forthcoming soon.
