Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
Segment Information | 10. Segment Information In January 2017, the Company announced a change in organizational structure to align with its strategic direction. As a result, beginning January 1, 2017, the Company reports financial performance based on its segments, ACI On Premise and ACI On Demand, and analyzes operating income as a measure of segment profitability. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), which is also our Chief Executive Officer focuses his review of consolidated financial information and the allocation of resources based upon the operating results, including revenues and operating income, for the segments ACI On Premise and ACI On Demand, separate from the Corporate operations. ACI On Premise serves customers who manage their software on site. These on-premise customers use the Company’s software to develop sophisticated, custom solutions, which are often part of a larger system located and managed at the customer site. These customers require a level of control, customization, and flexibility that ACI On Premise solutions can offer, and they have the resources and expertise to take a lead role in managing these solutions. ACI On Demand serves the needs of banks, financial intermediaries, merchants, and corporates who use payments to facilitate their core business. The Company sees an increasing number of customers opting for software as a service and platform as a service offerings, which offer reduced complexity and cost as well as the ability to rapidly implement and scale. Revenue is attributed to the reportable segments based upon the product sold and mechanism for delivery to the customer. Expenses are attributed to the reportable segments in one of three methods, (1) direct costs of the segment, (2) labor costs that can be attributed based upon time tracking for individual products, or (3) costs that are allocated. Allocated costs are generally marketing and sales related activities as well as information technology and facilities related expense for which multiple segments benefit. The Company also allocates certain depreciation costs to the segments. Corporate and other consists of the corporate overhead costs that are not allocated to reportable segments. These overhead costs relate to human resources, finance, legal, accounting, merger and acquisition activity, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, and other costs that are not considered when management evaluates segment performance. For the year-ended December 31, 2017, Corporate and other includes $46.7 million of general and administrative expense for the legal judgment discussed in Note 14. For the year-ended December 31, 2016, Corporate and other also includes revenue and operating income from the operations and sale of CFS related assets and liabilities of $15.4 million and $151.7 million, respectively. The following is selected financial data for the Company’s reportable segments for the periods indicated (in thousands):

As a result of the significant changes associated with the reorganization, which were implemented on a prospective basis only, as well as the changes in the Company through the PAY.ON acquisition that occurred late in 2015 and the CFS divestiture in 2016, ACI does not have all of the information that would be necessary to present segment data for 2015 under the new operating segments structure for operating expenses and results. The Company, likewise, does not have the necessary information to present the 2017 results under the prior segment view. This information is not available to management of the Company for its own internal use and it is impractical to obtain or generate the information. The Corporate and other segment includes revenue from the operations of CFS. Revenue for the year-ended December 31, 2015 under the new operating segments is as follows (in thousands):
|  | Year Ended |
|  | December 31, 2015 |
Revenue: |  |  |  |
ACI On Premise |  | $ | 589,006 |
ACI On Demand |  |  | 362,368 |
Corporate and other |  |  | 94,603 |
|  | $ | 1,045,977 |
Prior to the reorganization, the Company’s CODM, together with other senior management personnel, focused their review of consolidated financial information and the allocation of resources based on reporting of operating results, including revenues and operating income for the geographic regions of the Americas, Europe/Middle East/Africa (“ EMEA”), and Asia/Pacific. The Company’s products were sold and supported through distribution networks covering these three geographic regions, with each distribution network having its own sales force. The Company supplemented its distribution networks with independent reseller and/or distributor arrangements. All administrative costs not directly attributable or reasonably allocable to a geographic segment were tracked in Corporate. The Company allocated segment support expenses such as global product development, business operations, and product management based upon percentage of revenue per segment. Depreciation and amortization and other facility related costs were allocated as a percentage of the headcount by segment. The Corporate line item consisted of the corporate overhead costs that were not allocated to operating segments. Corporate overhead costs related to human resources, finance, legal, accounting, merger and acquisition activity, and amortization of acquisition-related intangibles and software as well as other costs that were not considered when management evaluates segment performance. The following is selected segment financial data under the previous operating segments for the periods indicated (in thousands):
