WAYNE, PA--(Marketwire - September 23, 2009) - Kenexa
(NASDAQ : KNXA ), a global provider of business solutions for human
resources, today announced it was ranked No. 160 in Software Magazine's Software 500
listing of the world's largest software and service providers for the third
consecutive year. Now in its 27th year, 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 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 percent growth from the
previous year," commented John P. Desmond, editor of Software Magazine and
Softwaremag.com.

commented, "Our inclusion in the Software 500 reflects the hard work of the
Kenexa team, our dedication to extreme service and our growing global
customer base. Kenexa offers solutions that help companies around the world
hire the very best people and maximize their productivity. This is

create the short list of business partners," Desmond says. "It is a quick
reference of vendor viability. And the online version to be posted soon at
www.Softwaremag.com is
searchable by category, making it what we call the online catalog to
enterprise software."
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.
