Reporting Segments
Reporting Segments
The Company has the following three reporting segments:
Global Engineering and Technology Solutions (“GETS”) - The Company provides engineering and information technology solutions for its clients that involve the production of deliverable work products or services performed at a CDI facility or at a client's facility under the supervision of CDI personnel. These solutions typically include analysis of a client's engineering or information technology needs and the development of a solution that generally ranges in duration from several months to multiple years. Depending on the industry, engineering services can include such functions as feasibility studies, technology assessment, conceptual design, cost estimating, preliminary design, execution planning, procurement optimization, detailed design, testing and validation of regulatory compliance, technology integration and operating and maintenance support. Information technology services can include assessments, execution of business application services, web development, help desk support, quality assurance and testing and program management. GETS provides these solutions through a delivery model consisting of: centers of excellence, with concentrated skill sets required for larger, more complex projects; regional centers to service local needs of clients; client-centered offices to deliver site-specific services; and off-shore and near-shore centers to leverage low-cost design resources.
Professional Services Staffing (“PSS”) - The Company provides skilled technical and professional personnel to its clients for discrete periods of time to augment the client's workforce in times of project, seasonal, peak period or business cycle needs. These engagements can range from several months to multiple years in duration. The Company also provides permanent placement services. The Company provides professional staffing services to targeted industries that include managed services and managed staffing programs, functional staffing outsourcing and business advisory services. The Company delivers these services through its PSS delivery organization, which provides centralized global staffing delivery focused on select engineering and technology skill sets and competencies. During 2012, 2011 and 2010, IBM accounted for approximately 20%, 21% and 20%, respectively, of the Company’s consolidated revenue. In December 2011, the Company and IBM executed a new Master Statement of Work effective as of December 31, 2011 with a term of three years. IBM may terminate the contract with or without cause at any time and has the option to extend the contract by an additional three years, in one-year increments.
Management Recruiters International, Inc. (“MRI”) - MRI is a global franchisor that does business as MRINetwork® and provides the use of its trademarks, business systems and training and support services to its franchisees who engage in the search and recruitment of executive, technical, professional and managerial personnel for employment by their clients. The MRI franchisees provide permanent placement services primarily under the brand names Management Recruiters®, Sales Consultants®, CompuSearch® and OfficeMates 5®. MRI also provides training and support, implementation services and back-office services to enable franchisees to pursue contract staffing opportunities.

For purposes of performance measurement, the Company charges certain expenses directly attributable to the reporting segments and allocates certain expenses and support costs. Support costs consist principally of employee benefit administration, accounting support, IT services and shared service center costs. Operating and administrative expenses that are not directly attributable to the reporting segments are classified as corporate. Identifiable assets of the reporting segments exclude corporate assets. Corporate assets consist principally of cash and certain prepaid expenses, non-trade accounts receivable, deferred tax assets attributable to the reporting segments, property and equipment and other assets.
