Utilization, which is the rate at which we are able to generate revenue from our consultants, decreased to 72.2% during the second quarter of 2011 compared to 75.7% during the second quarter of 2010. On a year-to-date basis, utilization for the first six months of 2011 increased to 76.2% compared to utilization of 75.5% during the first six months of 2010. We typically target utilization in a range from 78%-82%. Utilization is influenced by a variety of factors, including customer demand for IT spending and general economic circumstances. The decline in our current quarter utilization rate is the result of the anticipated wind down of the process related service contracts and a hesitation by customers to approve and initiate new and/or extend existing projects. While we continue to see consistent pipeline activity, decision cycle times appear to be lengthening.
During the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2011, software revenue totaled $4.7 million and $6.3 million, or 17.3% and 12.4% of total revenue, respectively, compared to software revenue of $3.8 million and $6.7 million, or 16.1% and 15.3% of total revenue, respectively, in the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2010. Our software revenue is primarily related to our resale of Microsoft Dynamics AX ERP software. The year-over-year increase in software revenue during the three-month period ended June 30, 2011 is primarily attributable to the closing of several new product sales during the quarter.
Gross margin, as a percentage of total revenue, improved to 39.5% in the second quarter of 2011 compared to 36.8% in the comparative 2010 quarterly period. Similarly, gross margin improved to 38.0% in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 compared to 35.1% in the comparative 2010 year-to-date period. The periodic year-over-year improvement in gross margin is directly related to the increase in process-related royalties earned under Fullscope process business contracts and gross margin contributions related to the mix of software revenue during the second quarter of 2011. Software revenue during the quarter contained a larger amount of product revenue than maintenance revenue. Product revenue generates a higher gross margin than maintenance revenue. These increases offset gross margin decreases resulting from the decrease in billable consultant utilization.
