Question on MAPICS services

[DaleGindlesperger@xxxxxxxxxxx]

I'm probably going to feel dumb on this one, but surely someone knows the
answer to this.....

Did anone see MAPICS' posting of their financial results?  They were
profitable again (which is good by my reckoning).  But the article says:

                                                                                
        
    . Year-to-year comparisons of MAPICS's fourth-quarter revenues look 
promising:      
    License revenue increased 31 percent, to $12.1 million; services revenue 
increased  
    55 percent, to $33 million; total revenue increased nearly 48 percent, to 
$45.1     
    million.                                                                    
        
                                                                                
        



This is an excerpt from a Midrange Systems article,
http://www.midrangeserver.com/tfh/tfh111003-story06.html

I figure "License revenue" must be new sales and ALFs, but what are
"services" as in "services revenue"?  What services does MAPICS do?  I've
been using MAPICS since 1986, and have no idea what this means - but it
appears to be 73% of their revenue.  I just buy modules, and pay my ALFs.
That doesn't qualify as services in my book.....
