During the first quarter of 2013, the Company announced a multi-year realignment plan. Certain aspects of this plan were previously disclosed under the Company's global realignment plan and global shared services plan. This multi-year realignment focuses on globalizing the Company's service organization and creating a unified center-led global organization for research and development, as well as transform the Company's general and administrative cost structure. Restructuring charges of $57,015 and $15,241 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, related to the Company’s multi-year realignment plan. Restructuring charges of $31,282 in 2013 related to severance as part of the the voluntary early retirement program elected by approximately 800 participants. Also included were charges related to realignment of resources and certain international facilities to better support opportunities in target markets and leverage software-led services technology to support customers in efforts to optimize overall operational performance. As of December 31, 2013, the Company anticipates additional restructuring costs of $13,000 to $16,000 to be incurred through the end of 2014, primarily within NA and EMEA. As management finalizes certain aspects of the realignment plan, the anticipated future costs related to this plan are subject to change. As of December 31, 2013, cumulative total restructuring costs for the multi-year realignment plan were $60,152, $2,559, $4,884, $452 and $7,698 in NA, AP, EMEA, LA and Brazil, respectively.

Restructuring charges of $19,450 for the year ended December 31, 2011 related to the Company’s plan for the EMEA reorganization, which realigned resources and further leveraged the existing shared services center. Total cumulative restructuring costs for the EMEA reorganization were $19,450. Other net restructuring charges were $6,732 for the year ended December 31, 2011, which related primarily to realignment in North American operations and reductions in the Company’s global workforce.
