6. Business Segments and Major Customers
 
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, the Company was internally reorganized to better align the Company’s go-to-market and service delivery capabilities and to maximize opportunities in serving telecommunications, media and technology customers. The three former operating segments within North America (North America Cable and Broadband, North America Telecom and Strategy) were integrated into one operating segment. The EMEA segment is a single reportable, operating segment. In addition, beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 management of the Company’s United Kindgom strategy practice has been moved from the United States to London and is reflected in the EMEA segment. As a result of this internal realignment, corresponding segment information for prior periods has been restated to conform to the current reportable segment presentation.
 
The Company identifies its segments based on the way management organizes the Company to assess performance and make operating decisions regarding the allocation of resources. In accordance with the criteria in FASB ASC 280 "Segment Reporting," the Company has concluded it has three reportable segments: the North America segment, the EMEA segment and the Strategic Alliances segment. The North America and EMEA segments are both single reportable, operating segments that encompass the Company’s operational, technology and software consulting services inside of North America and outside of North America, respectively. Both reportable segments offer management consulting, custom developed software, and technical services. The Strategic Alliances reportable segment is a single, reportable segment that includes the Company’s world-wide commercial activities undertaken with third party service or solutions providers.
 
Management evaluates segment performance based upon income (loss) from operations, excluding share-based compensation (benefits), depreciation and intangibles amortization. There were no inter-segment revenues during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2014 or March 30, 2013. In addition, in its administrative division, entitled “Not Allocated to Segments,” the Company accounts for non-operating activity and the costs of providing corporate and other administrative services to all the segments. Summarized financial information concerning the Company’s reportable segments is shown in the following table (amounts in thousands):
