Please see <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_market> for a
definition. (I have read this article and it seems accurate, as far
as it goes.)

Oh, and the other bit of finance jargon here is "sequential", by which
is meant "comparing one period with the immediately following period
of the same type", as opposed to "year-over-year" which means
"comparing one period with the analogous period in the following
year". So "sequential revenue improvement" is an increase in revenue
from one month or (more likely) quarter to the next, as opposed to
comparing one month or quarter with the same period the previous year.
You're also bound to run into numerous business and economic
statistics given "on an annualized basis", which means that the change
in the statistic has been multiplied by four or twelve, as if a whole
year of identical reporting periods had been measured.

industries (eg retail, education) are services anyway.

It's saying that there was growth across verticals (types of
customers) and service offerings (types of products). You have to
visualize it as a matrix with customer segments on the x axis and
product/service offerings on the y axis. You offer the same service
to customers in different verticals and you offer multiple services to
customers in the same vertical. Things grew both when totalling
across the rows and down the columns.
