Timing of satisfaction of performance obligations and significant payment terms
Revenue recognition policies, including determination of transaction price and rationale Post-go-live fees are recognised on delivery of consultancy services over time as the customer obtains incremental benefit from the hours provided. Revenue is recognised on an input basis (day rates) to measure the satisfaction of performance obligations over time. Transaction price is determined by fixed contract rates based upon day rates and number of post-go-live consultancy days. One performance obligation, being a combined monitoring cyber and licence service, is identified in relation to the MSP model monitoring service. Revenue is recognised over the contract length as the software and monitoring process is an overall service, whereby the Group retains control of the licence and provides a complete monitoring service to the customer. If the customer cancels the contract, the Group will retain control of the licence. The customer benefits from a 24/7 monitoring service whereby benefit is obtained daily and therefore revenue is recognised on straight-line basis as the performance obligation is satisfied over time. The transaction price is determined by fixed contract rates for the combined services. Revenue in relation to the reseller model monitoring service is recognised over the contract length on a straight-line basis as the performance obligation is satisfied over time. The customer benefits from a 24/7 monitoring service whereby benefit is obtained daily on straight-line basis. Revenue is recognised when control of the product is transferred to the customer. This occurs upon delivery under the contractual terms. On certain sales of third party products, the control of the product is considered to pass from the vendor to the end customer and in these cases the Group acts as an agent, and hence only records a commission on sale as opposed to gross revenue and costs of sale.
