Maintenance contracts & renewals entered into during period 113,190 69,474 Total products commitments during period $167,445 $110,175 As Compuware continues to emphasize solution selling, deals are becoming more complex, increasing the likelihood that software transactions will be recognized ratably over the maintenance term. Therefore to understand the health of Compuware's software business, we believe it is important to also consider the amount of product commitments (a non-GAAP disclosure) during the reported periods. Compuware now evaluates company performance for purposes of executive bonuses based in part on product commitments for the fiscal year. Prior periods were adjusted to conform with current period presentation.
