NOTE 14: SEGMENT REPORTING

        We report our financial performance based on the following two reportable segments: the Technology segment and the Bankruptcy and Settlement Administration segment.

        Our Technology segment provides eDiscovery managed services and technology solutions comprised of consulting, collections and forensics, processing, search and review, and document review to companies and law firms. Produced documents are made available primarily through a hosted environment utilizing our proprietary software DocuMatrix®, and third-party software which allows for efficient attorney review and data requests. Our Bankruptcy and Settlement Administration segment provides managed services and technology solutions that address the needs of our customers with respect to litigation, claims and project administration, compliance matters, controlled disbursements, corporate restructuring, bankruptcy and class action proceedings.

        The segment performance measure is based on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, other operating expense, and share-based compensation expense. In management's evaluation of performance, certain costs, such as compensation for administrative staff and executive management, are not allocated by segment and, accordingly, the following reporting segment results do not include such unallocated costs.

        Assets reported within a segment are those assets that can be identified to a segment and primarily consist of trade receivables, property, equipment and leasehold improvements, software, identifiable intangible assets and goodwill. Cash, certain tax-related assets, and certain prepaid assets and other assets are not allocated to our segments. Although we can and do identify long-lived assets such as property, equipment and leasehold improvements, software, and identifiable intangible assets to reporting segments, we do not allocate the related depreciation and amortization to the segment as management evaluates segment performance exclusive of these non-cash charges.

        Following is a summary of segment information for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012.
