Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segments

Segments

Autodesk reports segment information based on the “management” approach. The management approach designates the internal reporting used by management for making decisions, allocating resources and assessing performance as the source of the Company’s reportable segments. Prior to the third quarter of fiscal 2017, Autodesk had four operating segments: AEC, MFG, PSEB, and M&E.

As a result of the Company’s business model transition, there have been a number of changes in the business including a platform shift from perpetual licenses to subscription-based offerings and organizational changes in how the business is managed including a restructuring announced in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. In the third quarter of fiscal 2017, these organizational changes resulted in a change in the internal reporting provided to Autodesk’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) used to assess the performance of the business to focus on consolidated operating results. Accordingly, the Company's CODM now allocates resources and assesses the operating performance of the Company as a whole. As such, beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2017, Autodesk concluded that it has one segment manager (the CODM), one operating segment, and one reporting unit for goodwill impairment purposes.
