In this 2021 edition, there are three companies, including Icecat, that are active in the e-commerce market.

The list also includes CRM, business intelligence, field service, and content management systems.
With revenue, profit, headcount, and productivity generally increasing in 2020, the covid pandemic seems to have had little impact on software companies. However, the investment in R&D was reduced in 2020. 82% of companies spent more than 10% of revenue on R&D, which is a decrease from 92% in the previous year. Furthermore, the confidence in future revenue growth has returned to the same level as before the pandemic. This year, 58% of companies expect to grow by more than 20%. Last year this was only 42%.
The ranking in the Main Software 50 ranking is based on seven key KPIs to rank the success of software companies: the absolute revenues, revenue growth (%), recurring revenue (%), cloud/SaaS contribution (%), profitability, international revenue (%), and finally partner revenue (%).
