    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 during the
    reported periods.
