Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The Business Glowpoint, Inc. (“Glowpoint” or “we” or “us” or the “Company”) is a provider of cloud managed video services. Our services, delivered via our cloud-based OpenVideo™ platform, are securely accessible via any network (private or public) and are technology-agnostic. The Company delivers services to more than 500 different enterprises in over 35 countries supporting thousands of video endpoints, immersive telepresence rooms, and infrastructure for business-quality, real-time, two-way visual communications. Glowpoint, a Delaware corporation, was formed in May 2000. The Company operates in one segment and therefore segment information is not presented. Glowpoint's services are categorized as follows: Monitoring & Management Services and Collaboration Services (“Managed Services Combined”). We provide end-to-end cloud managed services for telepresence, conference room, desktop, mobile solutions, and video infrastructure. We have a team of video experts utilizing the latest in remote management technologies. These engineering and operational customer support resources operate out of our three Video Network Operations Centers (VNOCs) located in the United States, in California, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. These VNOC facilities provide global 24/7 support to our network and managed service customers, including our wholesale branded partners customers. The primary functions of these operational resources located in these centers are customer service, conference production, network operation monitoring and remediation, and help desk technical support. The company also maintains Points-of Presence (POP's) that houses the technology and infrastructure along with the servers and database warehousing for the OpenVideo platform and support systems of the business. There are currently three Points-of-Presence (POPs) located in the United States (New Jersey and Chicago) and United Kingdom (London), with additional POPs planned as needed. These carrier-neutral data centers are co-location facilities where network equipment that serves our video infrastructure is housed and acts as shared or dedicated infrastructure for our business customers. The POPs provide power redundancy & UPS (uninterrupted Power Supply) systems, which are constantly monitored and maintained. They also have physical security, flood controls, fire detection and suppression systems and are structurally designed for earthquakes. We offer a complete portfolio of remote monitoring and management services that can help make video more widely available, improve up-time, drive higher usage, off-load IT teams, or all of the above. Our service packages can be customized to suit the needs of the business, whether for a large enterprise, small or medium sized business. Glowpoint provides wholesale programs and private-labeled resale options for hardware manufacturers, network operators and systems integrators seeking to offer video services as a value-added addition to their collaboration and communications offerings. All of Glowpoint's unique features and services have been designed so that the entire suite can be private labeled by other service providers or companies who want to integrate video communications into their existing products quickly and cost effectively. Glowpoint will provide all of the video infrastructure and support, including customer portals and billing applications, as a private label service for a third party. This means that our services are branded with the other company's name, logo and other information, our live operators answer calls using the other company's name, and the other company's end user customers view the service as provided by that other company even though it is actually “powered by Glowpoint.” Glowpoint has been involved in a number of private label opportunities and currently provides branding of its services to six strategic global partners whom serve 147 customers with these services and support from Glowpoint through their unique brands. These services account for approximately 37% of Glowpoint's total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Many strategic global companies in the unified communications industry have recognized Glowpoint's value to their own sales and marketing efforts. These strategic partnerships are core to the company's global sales strategy. Glowpoint's collaboration services, hosted via the OpenVideo™ cloud, are designed to connect video users all over the world whether they are on immersive telepresence, conference room, desktop or mobile devices. Customers that are registered to the OpenVideo™ cloud can connect to any other customer in the OpenVideo™ cloud and get access to Glowpoint's full suite of cloud managed video services, including the Virtual Video Room, video bridging, and webcasting services. Through our extensive partnerships, OpenVideo™ customers can also have business-to-business connectivity across other service providers platforms. Network Services. In order to provide customers with access to the OpenVideo™ cloud, Glowpoint maintains a dedicated video overlay network. With our network services, we provide customers with the flexibility to either source the entire network from a single provider, maintain existing network and extend a logical connection to the OpenVideo™ cloud or bring bandwidth to OpenVideo™ datacenters. Although a declining component of our revenue stream, we believe that network services will continue to be an integral part of our revenue mix in the future, driven by new connectivity needs to connect and peer with Glowpoint's OpenVideo™ cloud. Professional and other services. With the growing interest in convergence and the desire by some enterprises to add the transport of video to their enterprise networks, we have provided professional services and believe the market for such services is growing. Additionally, our extensive knowledge of all leading video conferencing vendors' equipment makes our video engineers a valuable resource for manufacturers, partners and end users on an outsourced basis. While our primary focus is generating monthly recurring revenue from our subscription services, our professional services have been a valuable lead for video communication opportunities leading to sales of our managed video services. We have bundled certain components of our managed services to offer video communication solutions for broadcast/media content acquisition and event services. Customers have used our managed video services during events to cost-effectively acquire video content for broadcasters, cable companies and other media enterprises, especially in the sports, news and entertainment industries. While it includes our core managed video services, IP-based broadcasting and event services require more project management and dedicated operational and engineering personnel than our standard subscription services. Rather than using an expensive satellite feed, companies can acquire broadcast-quality standard or high definition footage at a fraction of the cost from Glowpoint over a dedicated IP connection. Since 2002, we have provided this service to ESPN during the professional football and basketball drafts. ESPN has used our service for interviews from team locations with coaches, players and analysts during their coverage. In 2007, we launched a High Definition (HD) content acquisition solution that we branded TeamCamHD and RemoteCamHD. This offering provides two-way HD video communication for content acquisition from remote locations. Glowpoint now provides a full suite of HD solutions for the broadcast, entertainment and media industry and is considered a high-quality alternative to the traditional means of acquiring content in many applications, including interviews and even full motion video. Liquidity For the six months ended June 30, 2012, we had net income of $420,000 and a positive cash flow from operations of $297,000. As of June 30, 2012, we had $1,689,000 of cash, positive working capital of $1,513,000 and an accumulated deficit of $164,279,000. In June 2012, the Company renewed its Revolving Loan Facility (as discussed in Note 10) pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to $5,000,000 for working capital purposes and under which we had unused borrowing availability of approximately $2,662,000 as of June 30, 2012. The Revolving Loan Facility matures in June 2014. Pursuant to the terms of our Series A-2 Preferred Stock and Series B-1 Preferred Stock, the Company will be obligated to pay dividends commencing on January 1, 2013. Based primarily on our efforts to manage costs and our Revolving Loan Facility, along with our cash flow projection, the Company believes that it has, and will have, sufficient cash flow to fund its operations through at least August 31, 2013. We have historically been able to raise capital in private placements as needed to fund operations and provide growth capital. There can be no assurances, however, that we will be able to raise additional capital as may be needed or upon acceptable terms, or that current economic conditions will not negatively impact us. If the current economic conditions negatively impact us and we are unable to raise additional capital that may be needed on terms acceptable to us, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company. Quarterly Financial Information and Results of Operations The condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2012 and for the six and three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 2012, and the results of operations for the six and three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the statement of stockholders’ equity for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and the statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. The results for the six and three months ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. While management of the Company believes that the disclosures presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the footnotes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission with our Form 10-K on March 8, 2012 (the “Audited 2011 Financial Statements”).
