capabilities of their own IT staff with our onsite consultants. In addition, Services revenue increased $11 million due
to increased demand for our Business Critical Services in fiscal 2008 as compared to fiscal 2007.
Services revenue increased in fiscal 2007 as compared to fiscal 2006 primarily due to a $57 million increase in
security consulting services and the inclusion of the storage and availability services obtained through our
acquisition of Veritas for the full twelve months in the 2007 period compared to nine months in the 2006 period.
Included in the above increase is $28 million of Services revenues from these acquired services offerings in the June
2006 quarter for which there was no comparable revenue in the June 2005 quarter. In addition, Services revenue
increased $15 million due to increased demand for our Business Critical Services in fiscal 2007 as compared to
fiscal 2006.
Total expenses from our Services segment increased $32 million in fiscal 2008 as compared to fiscal 2007. The
increase is primarily a result of higher salary and wages to support the increase in revenue.
