We are honored to be recognized for the fifth consecutive year as one of the worlds largest software companies, said Doug Yarrow, president and co-CEO of Symark Software. Our consistent growth is a testament to our customers urgency to protect data privacy and prove regulatory compliance as well as to the superiority of our technology to meet that demand.

The Software 500 is a revenue-based ranking of the worlds 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 industry continues to be dynamic with more than 90 new companies on the list this year, said John P. Desmond, editor of Software Magazine and Softwaremag.com. Strong segments this year included security and system integration services.

The Software 500 ranking is based on total worldwide software and services revenue for 2005.
