Segment Information [Abstract]

Segment Information

Note 15: Segment Information

Operating segments, as defined under GAAP, are components of an enterprise about which discrete financial information is available and regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. We internally report results to our chief operating decision maker on both a product group basis and a functional basis. Our product groups represent our reportable segments for financial reporting purposes. However, our organization is managed primarily on a functional basis. We assign dedicated costs and expenses, primarily costs of revenue and product development, directly to each segment and utilize an allocation methodology to assign all other costs and expenses, primarily sales and marketing and general and administrative, to each segment. A significant portion of the total costs and expenses assigned to each segment are allocated. Our chief operating decision maker is our Chief Executive Officer.

Our internal reporting includes three segments, each of which meet the criteria for segment reporting: (1) Application Development Platforms, which includes the OpenEdge, Orbix and ObjectStore products; (2) Enterprise Business Solutions, which includes the Apama, Sonic, Actional, Savvion and FuseSource products; and (3) Enterprise Data Solutions, which includes the DataDirect Connect, DataDirect Shadow and DataServices products.

We do not manage our assets or capital expenditures by segment or assign other income and income taxes to segments. We manage and report such items on a consolidated company basis.

The following table provides revenue and income (loss) from operations for our reportable segments on an interim basis (in thousands):

Total income (loss) from operations	$	11,894		$	28,316

Unallocated items are excluded from segment income (loss) from operations as such amounts are not deducted from internal measurements of income (loss) from operations, and are not allocated to our reportable segments. In the first quarter of fiscal 2012, we eliminated our internal reporting use of purchase accounting adjustments for deferred revenue related to acquisitions, which had the impact of decreasing segment revenue and income (loss) from operations reported in the prior fiscal period presented. We have revised the prior periods presented to reflect this change.
