Revenue Recognition The Company derives its revenue primarily from its subscriptions and associated support to the Company's platform. The Company's subscriptions do not provide customers with the right to take possession of the software supporting the applications and, as a result, are accounted for as service contracts. The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers". The Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of control of services to its customers in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those services. The recognition of revenue is determined through application of the following five- step model: • Identification of the contract(s) with customers; • Identification of the performance obligation(s) in the contract; • Determination of the transaction price; • Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract; and • Recognition of revenue when or as the performance obligation(s) are satisfied The Company identifies the performance obligations in a contract with a customer and determines whether they are distinct or distinct within the context of the contract. When there is more than one distinct performance obligation in a contract, the Company allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. The Company estimates the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring services if the consideration promised in a contract includes a variable amount. Revenue is generally recognized ratably over the contract term beginning on the commencement date of each contract, which is the date the Company's platform is made available to customers. Contracts are typically one year in length, but may be up to three years or longer in length. At the beginning of each subscription term the Company invoices its customers, typically in annual installments but also monthly, quarterly, and semi-annually. Amounts that have been invoiced for non-cancelable contracts are recorded in accounts receivable and in unearned revenue or revenue. The Company reports revenue net of sales tax and other taxes collected from customers to be remitted to government authorities. Costs Capitalized to Obtain Revenue Contracts The Company capitalizes costs of obtaining revenue contracts that are incremental and recoverable. Incremental costs primarily include sales commissions for new and renewal revenue contracts, certain related incentives, and associated payroll tax and fringe benefit
