In a reversal of its revenue results from a year ago, supply chain management software provider i2 Technologies today reported an 18% increase in profit, while total revenue was down 7% for the quarter ended Sept. 30.

A 49% drop in software license revenue was the main contributor to the company's lower quarterly total of $66.5 million, compared with $71.4 million in the like period last year. Total revenue from "software solutions" — which include core license revenue, recurring license revenue, and fees collected for developing licensed functionality — was $10.5 million, compared with $20.6 million a year ago.

Services revenue, however, jumped 24% year over year, totaling $33.4 million, and representing the third consecutive quarter in which services revenue grew by at least 20% year over year. Maintenance revenue dropped 5% to $22.6 million.
