Interactive Intelligence Group Inc. (Nasdaq: ININ), a global provider of software and cloud services for customer engagement, unified communications and collaboration, has been listed by Software Magazine among its Software 500, a ranking of the world’s 500 largest software and services suppliers.

Interactive Intelligence remains in the top 200 with a ranking of 187th, growing corporate revenues 7.25 percent – from $318.2 million in 2013, to $341.3 million in 2014. Of the company’s thousands of global customers, 48 Fortune 100 companies have deployed its solutions.

“This year’s Software 500 marks our 15th consecutive year on the list,” said Interactive Intelligence founder and CEO, Dr. Donald Brown. “Our growth continues to be fueled by the cloud, with a 59 percent increase in our cloud subscription revenues for the first half of this year. Looking ahead, we remain committed to the customer engagement market. It’s our strength. It’s our legacy. And it’s the highest value point within communications for organizations today.”

Last year Interactive Intelligence made available its PureCloud℠ platform, the first Amazon Web Services-based cloud platform built for multi-use cases. This adds to the company’s portfolio of a single-tenant Communications as a Service℠ (CaaS) offering, and its on-premises all-in-one customer engagement software suite.

“The Software 500 helps CIOs, senior IT managers and IT staff research and create their short list of business partners,” said Thomas Tetreault, publisher and editor-in-chief of Software Magazine. “It’s a quick reference of vendor viability.”

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 Software 500 ranking is based on total worldwide software and services revenue from the 2014 fiscal year. This includes revenue from software licenses, maintenance and support, training, software-related services, and consulting. Suppliers are not ranked on total corporate revenue, since many have other lines of business, such as hardware.
