As of December 31, 2014, the future minimum commitments by the Company’s customers to purchase products, subscription services, product support, or other services through 2019 totaled approximately $136.4 million. These future commitments are not included in deferred revenue balances. Revenue relating to such agreements will be recognized during the period in which all revenue recognition criteria are met. The timing and ultimate recognition of any revenue from such customer purchase commitments depend on the customers’ meeting their future purchase commitments and the Company’s ability to meet its associated performance obligations related to those purchase commitments.</p> </div>

Usher works on standard smartphones running on iOS or the Android platform, and also boasts an Apple Watch integration. By delivering strong, multi-factor authentication that can be extended to nearly every corporate system, Usher’s enterprise mobile security solution addresses some of the biggest challenges facing corporations today - including authentication, identity and access management, and resource authorization - while applying industry leading business intelligence and analytics to an enterprise’s security infrastructure. Through the use of Bluetooth, QR codes, biometrics, push notifications, time-limited PIN codes, and other authentication methods, Usher users can log into applications, VPNs, and workstations, unlock doors and other physical gateways, and validate each other’s identities. Usher can also be used as a powerful workforce management resource because it is designed to enable managers to gain a new real-time window into the activity of their distributed workforces, while providing powerful interactive features to manage or direct them. With the addition of Usher Professional, administrators can track user activity on a real-time map and communicate with users from the Usher application.
