Kenexa Named to Software Magazine's Prestigious Software 500 List for Fourth Consecutive Year

   Kenexa (NASDAQ: KNXA), a global provider of business solutions for human resources, today announced its inclusion on the Software Magazine's Software 500 ranking of the world's largest software and service providers, now in its 28th year. Kenexa was ranked No. 165 based on its 2009 software revenue of $157.7 million.

"We are gratified to again be included on the Software 500 list this year. Our year-over-year revenue growth is a testament to our ability to help companies multiply their business success by identifying top talent and promoting optimal work environments," stated Rudy Karsan, Kenexa's CEO. "We have been able to achieve our impressive growth because of our unfailing focus and dedication to fulfilling our mission to transform the global workforce."

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 47 percent of the 2009 Software 500 companies are privately held.

John P. Desmond, editor of Software Magazine and Softwaremag.com, commented, "The 2010 Software 500 results show that revenue growth in the software and services industry was healthy, with total Software 500 revenue of $491.7B worldwide for 2009, representing virtually flat growth from the previous year."

Desmond added, "The Software 500 helps CIOs, senior IT managers and IT staff research and create the short list of business partners. 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 Software 500 ranking is based on total worldwide software and services revenue for 2009. 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.
