Boyertown, PA (October, 2008) – Gateway Ticketing Systems, the world leader in admission control and ticketing software for the attraction, amusement, and transportation industries, announced its inclusion today in the 2008 Software 500, Software Magazine’s list of the world’s premier software and services providers.
Aimed at IT professionals, software developers, and business managers in medium to large enterprises, the Software 500 is a revenue-based ranking of the world’s largest software and service providers. More specifically, it is based on the total worldwide software and services revenue for 2007 including revenues from software licenses, maintenance and support, training and software-related services and consulting.
"Being chosen for the Software 500 is a benchmark for Gateway," said Michael Andre, President of Gateway Ticketing Systems, Inc. "Our inclusion in this list shows that we are considered among the best in the world, not only in our industry, but overall as a software and services provider," he said.
“The 2008 Software 500 results show that revenue growth in the software and services industry is healthy, with total Software 500 revenue of $451.8 billion worldwide for 2007 representing 14.7% growth from the previous year,” said John P. Desmond, editor of Software Magazine and Softwaremag.com. “Just this year, we have added over 100 new companies to the list which we consider a quick reference to vendor viability.”
The Software 500 list is published online at www.softwaremag.com.
“Moving forward, I believe we’ll continue to grow. As a company we listen to what our customers want and deliver that in our products and services. Earlier this year we launched a new version of our flagship product, Galaxy. The development of this new version was based on requests made by our customers. As long as we continue to listen to and develop solutions for our customers, Gateway will continue to grow and remain one of the world’s premier software providers,” said Andre.
