Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies) [Abstract]  
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued updated guidance for intangible assets, specifically related to the annual goodwill impairment test. This guidance requires entities to perform a qualitative evaluation of whether it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired in situations where reporting units have a carrying value that is zero or negative. If the qualitative evaluation determines it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired, step two of the goodwill impairment test is required to be performed to measure the amount of impairment, if any. The new guidance is effective for us beginning with our fiscal 2012 goodwill impairment test and is not expected to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In October 2009, the FASB issued new revenue recognition guidance for arrangements that include both software and non-software related deliverables. This guidance requires entities to allocate the overall consideration to each deliverable by using a best estimate of the selling price of individual deliverables in the arrangement in the absence of vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) or other third party evidence of the selling price. Additionally, the guidance modifies the manner in which the transaction consideration is allocated across the separately identified deliverables by no longer permitting the residual method of allocating arrangement consideration. The new guidance was effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and did not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In May 2011, the FASB issued updated guidance for fair value measurements, primarily clarifying existing guidance and adding new disclosure requirements for Level 3 fair value measurements. This guidance requires entities to disclose quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in Level 3 measurements, and to provide additional qualitative information regarding the valuation process in place for Level 3 measurements and the sensitivity of recurring Level 3 fair value measurements to changes in unobservable inputs used. This new guidance is effective for us beginning with our fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 and is not expected to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
