Atlanta, GA, October 11, 2005 - Seagull Software today announced its inclusion on the Software 500, Software Magazine's list of the world's foremost software and services providers, published as an online catalog on www.Softwaremag.com.

"The overall health of the software and services industries has improved, with revenue for the 2005 Software 500 at $383.3 billion worldwide for 2004, an increase of 16.5% over the previous year. The industry continues to be dynamic, with nearly 100 new companies on the 2005 Software 500 list," says John P. Desmond, editor of Software Magazine and Softwaremag.com. "Employee head count was up 13.7% and was strongest in the segments of collaboration/project management, system integration services and IT consulting, and the supply chain/manufacturing software segment."

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 purchasing software and services. The list includes both private and public companies; 28% of the 2005 Software 500 companies are private. The Software 500 is searchable by primary business sector on www.Softwaremag.com, free to all site registrants.

Don Addington, CEO and President of Seagull Software, commented "The Software 500 is a venerable listing that has given visibility to the industry's leading software solution providers for 23 years. Seagull Software is proud to have earned Software 500 status for the past 5 years in a row."

"The online Software 500 is a valuable resource for CIOs, senior IT managers and IT staff for researching their vendor partner options. It is a quick reference of vendor viability," Desmond says.

The ranking is based on total worldwide software and service revenue for 2004. 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. The financial information was gathered by a survey prepared by King Content Co. and posted at www.Softwaremag.com, as well as from public documents.
