SEGMENT INFORMATION: 
Operating segments
Operating segments are based on components of the Company that engage in business activity that earn revenue and incur expenses and (a) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resource allocation and performance and (b) for which discrete financial information is available.
The Company operates in two segments: Technology Solutions and Concentrix. The Technology Solutions segment distributes peripherals, IT systems including data center server and storage solutions, system components, software, networking equipment, CE, and complementary products. The Technology Solutions segment also provides systems design and integration services.
The Concentrix segment offers a range of global business services focused on process optimization, customer engagement strategy and back-office automation to clients in various industry verticals. The portfolio of services offered are comprised of end-to-end process outsourcing services that are delivered through omni-channels including both voice and non-voice. Clients include corporations in various industry verticals.
Effective in the first quarter of 2014, the Company realigned its business segments. Certain operations of the Company that were previously reported under the Concentrix segment and that provided inter-segment support and IT services to the Technology Solutions segment have now been aligned with and report into the Technology Solutions segment. The Concentrix segment includes the legacy Concentrix business and the newly acquired customer care business. The financial information presented herein reflects the impact of the segment structure change for all periods presented.
