Desmond, editor of Software Magazine and Softwaremag.com. Interactive Intelligence increased its ranking in Software Magazine�s 2008 Software 500 by posting 2007 revenues of $109.9 million, up 32 percent from revenues in 2006. �Our position in this prestigious benchmark list has climbed 71 places over the last three years,� said Interactive Intelligence founder and CEO, Dr. Donald E.

The company�s software is ideal for contact centers and enterprises seeking to lower costs, increase productivity and improve customer service through more effective interaction management. �Especially during these tight economic times, we believe our software, with its ability to help organizations increase their operational efficiencies while improving customer service, offers an even more compelling business case that will enable us to thrive in coming years,� Brown said. 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 2007. This includes revenue 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. Financial information for the 2008 Software 500 was gathered by a survey prepared by King Content Co. The 2008 Software 500 26th annual ranking of the world's foremost software and services suppliers was published in the October issue of Software Magazine and can be accessed online at http://www.softwaremag.com.
