ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (9/30/2009)

CSG Systems International, Inc. (NASDAQ: CSGS), a leading provider of customer interaction management solutions, today announced its inclusion on the Software Magazine's Software 500 ranking of the world's largest software and service providers, now in its 27th year.

CSG Systems was ranked 101st, with software and services revenue of $472M. 

"CSG enjoyed steady growth in 2008 as a result of increased adoption of our customer interaction management solutions, diversification into new vertical market segments, and the delivery of new products that enable our clients to reach out to their customers through a variety of touch points with personalized, relevant information," said CSG Systems' president and CEO, Peter Kalan. 

"The 2009 Software 500 results show that revenue growth in the software and services industry was healthy, with total Software 500 revenue of $491.3 billion worldwide for 2008 representing 8.8% growth from the previous year," says John P. Desmond, editor of Software Magazine and Softwaremag.com.

"The Software 500 helps CIOs, senior IT managers and IT staff research and create the short list of business partners, Desmond says. It is a quick reference of vendor viability. And the online version at www.Softwaremag.com is searchable by category, making it what we call the online catalog to enterprise software."

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.

Some 44 percent of the 2009 Software 500 companies are privately held.  Go to www.Softwaremag.com and click on Subscribe to be among the first to see the 2009 Software 500. It is being released first in the digital publication to be distributed in mid-September.  The ranking is based on total worldwide software and services revenue for 2008. 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.
