Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] |
Deferred Commissions | Deferred CommissionsSales commissions earned by our sales force are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. Sales commissions for initial contracts are deferred and then amortized commensurate with the recognition of associated revenue over a period of benefit that we have determined to be three to seven years. Deferred commissions were $36.2 million and $32.3 million as of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, respectively. Amortization expense related to deferred commissions was $3.5 million and $9.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and $3.0 million and $8.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. There were no indicators of impairment in relation to the costs capitalized for the periods presented. Deferred commissions have been included with prepaid expenses for the current portion and non-current other assets for the long-term portion in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amortization expense related to deferred commissions is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.Disaggregation of Revenue The tables below show disaggregation of revenue into categories that reflect how economic factors affect the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows. Timing of Revenue Recognition Timing of revenue recognition by revenue category during the period is as follows:

Recurring Revenue The majority of our revenue is comprised of revenues from maintenance and subscriptions, which we consider to be recurring revenue. Virtually all of our on-premises software clients contract with us for maintenance and support, which provides us with a significant source of recurring revenue. We generally provide maintenance and support for our on-premises clients under annual, or in some cases, multi-year contracts. The contract terms for subscription arrangements range from one to 10 years but are typically contracted for initial periods of three to five years, providing a significant source of recurring revenues on an annual basis. We consider all other revenue categories to be non-recurring revenues. Recurring revenues and non-recurring revenues recognized during the period are as follows:

Backlog as of September 30, 2021, was $1.77 billion, of which we expect to recognize approximately 47% as revenue over the next 12 months and the remainder thereafter.
