Okemos-based software company, TechSmith, jumped 12 spots on Software Magazine’s annual ranking of the largest software and services providers.
This year, TechSmith climbed to No. 310, from 322 in 2007. The ranking is based on total worldwide software and services revenue for 2007, and it indicates that TechSmith is outpacing 
more than two-thirds of the software industry.
“Our growth demonstrates that Michigan has everything a software company needs to thrive,” says the company's president, William Hamilton.
Only five other Michigan-based companies made the list. TechSmith is the only Capital region-based company to make the list. The top Michigan company, Compuware Corporation in downtown Detroit, is ranked 55.
“The Software 500 helps CIOs, senior IT managers and IT staff research and create the short list of business partners,” says John P. Desmond, editor of Software Magazine and Softwaremag.com. “It is a quick reference of vendor viability.”
TechSmith has more than 200 employees and serves more than seven million people worldwide.
