Geographic, Segment and Significant Customer Information

Note 8---Geographic, Segment and Significant Customer Information

We operate in one segment: electronic business solutions. Our reportable segment includes our facilities in North and South America (Americas), Europe and Asia Pacific and the Middle East (Asia/Pacific). Our chief operating decision maker is considered to be the CEO. The CEO reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis accompanied by disaggregated information about revenues by geographic region and by product for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. The disaggregated revenue information reviewed by the CEO is as follows (in thousands):

Total revenues	$	7,940	$	9,442

We sell our products and provide global services through a direct sales force and through a channel of independent distributors, value-added resellers ("VARs") and Application Service Providers ("ASPs"). In addition, the sales of our products are promoted through independent professional consulting organizations known as systems integrators ("SIs"). We provide global services through our BroadVision Global Services organization and indirectly through distributors, VARs, ASPs, and SIs. We currently operate in three primary geographical territories.

Disaggregated financial information regarding our product and service revenues by geographic region is as follows (in thousands):
