Geographic And Segment Reporting

NOTE 4 — GEOGRAPHIC AND SEGMENT REPORTING

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by our chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in assessing performance and deciding how to allocate resources. Our reportable operating segments are Licenses, Maintenance Services and Professional Services. The Licenses segment develops and markets licenses to use our software products. The Maintenance Services segment provides after-sale support for software products. The Professional Services segment provides consulting and fee-based training related to our software products.

We do not separately allocate operating expenses to these segments, nor do we allocate specific assets to these segments. Therefore, segment information reported includes only revenues, cost of revenues, and gross profit.

Reportable segment data for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 is as follows (in thousands):
