Solutions segment. The results of these business operations are presented in income from discontinued operations for
all periods.
Performance Indicators
Management uses several quantitative and qualitative performance indicators to assess our financial results and condition.
Each provides a measurement of the performance of our business and how well we are executing our plan.
Our predominantly subscription-based business model is less common among our competitors in the software industry and it
may be difficult to compare the results for many of our performance indicators with those of our competitors. The following
is a summary of the performance indicators that management uses to review performance:
