Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Schedule of Revenue Disaggregated by Revenue Type, Geographic Region and Customer

The nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of our revenue and how revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors is most appropriately depicted by revenue type, geographic region, and customer vertical.

Revenue by type for the quarters ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was as follows (in thousands):

Maintenance			11,857				10,890
Total revenue		$	313,732			$	299,453

We use the location of the customer as the basis of attributing revenue to geographic regions. Revenue by geographic region for the quarters ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, as a percentage of our total revenue, was as follows:
