Tampa, Fla., November 19, 2007 –a leader in service desk management solutions for IT professionals, today announced that its CEO, David Weiss, was named a finalist in Tampa Bay
CEO Magazine's CEO of the Year competition in the technology category.  The competition, which honors business leaders across eight industries, culminates in a presentation in December at which an overall winner and individual category winners will be announced.  Winners will be selected based upon their organization’s market leadership, community involvement, performance and vision. 

“Numara Software solutions continue to be the most widely installed service-desk management products on the market,” said Weiss.  “Our success as a company is due in large part to the extraordinary talent, vision and commitment of our staff.  I share this honor with the entire team.”  

In December 2005, Weiss led a successful acquisition of the company by TA Associates, one of the world’s largest and most experienced private equity firms, and renamed the company Numara Software.  At that time, he was named President and CEO of the company and charged with leading the company’s aggressive growth plans and building upon its existing leadership position in the help desk and asset management market.  The company now boasts over 50,000 customer sites worldwide. 

Numara Software’s flagship products, Numara Track-It! 8 and FootPrints 8, have recently earned several industry accolades, including Customer Interaction Solutions Magazine’s 2007 CRM Excellence Award, 2007 TMC Labs Innovation Award and eWeek’s 2007 Excellence Award.

Winners of the Tampa Bay CEO Magazine’s CEO of the Year competition will be announced on December 11, 2007 at an event at the A La Carte Event Pavilion in Tampa Bay.  The 2007 Tampa Bay CEO of The Year Awards is sponsored by WGUL AM 860, Signs Now, Media FX and Extravaganza Productions.  For more information, visit www.tampabayceo.com.
