Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Summary of significant accounting policies Summary of significant accounting policies
The Company’s significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. There have been no significant changes to these policies during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The following describes the impact of certain policies.
Trade accounts receivable, net
Credit is extended to customers in the normal course of business, generally with 30-day payment terms. Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of allowances.
The allowance for credit losses is based on an expected loss model that estimates losses over the expected life of the trade accounts receivable. The Company estimates expected credit losses based on the Company’s historical loss information, current and future economic and market conditions, and ongoing review of customers’ account balances.
The Company writes-off a receivable against the allowance when a determination is made that the balance is uncollectible and collection of the receivable is no longer being actively pursued. This determination is based on the delinquency of the account, the financial condition of the customer, and the Company’s collection experience.
Activity related to our allowance for credit losses for trade accounts receivable was as follows:

Revenue recognition
The Company applies ASC 606 and follows a five-step model to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized in accordance with ASC 606.
Disaggregation of Revenue
The Company separates revenue into subscription and non-subscription categories to disaggregate those revenues that are term-based and renewable from those that are one-time in nature. Revenue from subscription and non-subscription contractual arrangements were as follows:

Non‑subscription revenue6,057 6,245 
Total revenue$108,258 $80,727 
Contract Balances
If revenue is recognized in advance of the right to invoice, a contract asset is recorded in other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The opening and closing balances of contract assets were as follows:

Balance, beginning of the period$1,792 $947 
Balance, end of the period1,885 1,186 
Change$93 $239 
For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the allowance for expected credit losses associated with contract assets was not material.
Contract liabilities consist of customer billings in advance of revenue being recognized. The Company invoices its customers for subscription, support and maintenance, and services in advance.
Changes in contract liabilities, including revenue earned during the period from the beginning contract liability balance and new deferrals of revenue during the period, were as follows:

Balance, beginning of the period$282,128 $205,509 
Revenue earned(85,337)(60,633)
Deferral of revenue95,708 76,703 
Balance, end of the period$292,499 $221,579 
There were no significant changes to our contract assets and liabilities during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 outside of our sales activities.
Remaining Performance Obligations
Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations represents contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized, which includes deferred revenue and noncancellable amounts to be invoiced. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had $343.9 million of remaining performance obligations, with 72% expected to be recognized as revenue over the succeeding 12 months, and the remainder generally expected to be recognized over the three years thereafter.
Deferred Contract Costs
Sales commissions, as well as associated payroll taxes and retirement plan contributions (together, contract costs), that are incremental to the acquisition of customer contracts are capitalized using a portfolio approach as deferred contract costs in the condensed consolidated balance sheets when the period of benefit is determined to be greater than one year.
Total amortization of contract costs for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $3.8 million and $2.7 million, respectively.
The Company periodically reviews these deferred contract costs to determine whether events or changes in circumstances have occurred that could affect the period of benefit of these deferred contract costs. There were no impairment losses recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.
Adoption of new accounting pronouncements
Business Combinations — Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805), Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which requires contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 606. Generally, this new guidance will result in the acquirer recognizing contract assets and contract liabilities at the same amounts recorded by the acquiree. Historically, such amounts were recognized by the acquirer at fair value in accordance with acquisition accounting. The new guidance should be applied prospectively to acquisitions occurring on or after the effective date. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including in interim periods, for any financial statements that have not been issued. The Company early adopted the new standard on January 1, 2022. The adoption of the standard did not have any impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. We will apply the new guidance to future acquisitions.
