Basis Of Presentation [Abstract]
Basis Of Presentation	1. Basis of Presentation The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Daegis Inc. (formerly Unify Corporation) (the "Company", "we", "us", "our") pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our subsidiaries that we control due to ownership of a controlling interest. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. While the interim financial information contained in this filing is unaudited, such financial statements, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, together with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, which are included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2011, as filed with the SEC. *Revenue Recognition* The Company generates revenue from software license sales and related services, including maintenance and support, hosting, and consulting and implementation services. The Company licenses its products to end-user customers, including corporate legal and IT departments, law firms, independent software vendors ("ISVs"), international distributors and value-added resellers ("VARs"). The Company's products are generally sold with a perpetual license. The Company's contracts with ISVs, VARs and international distributors do not include special considerations such as rights of return, stock rotation, price protection or special acceptance. The Company exercises judgment in connection with the determination of the amount of revenue to be recognized in each accounting period. The nature of each contractual arrangement determines how revenues and related costs are recognized. For software license arrangements that do not require significant modification or customization of the underlying software, revenue is recognized when the software product or service has been shipped or electronically delivered, the license fees are fixed and determinable, uncertainties regarding customer acceptance are resolved, collectability is probable and persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists. For fixed price arrangements that require significant modification or customization of software, the Company uses the percentage-of-completion method for revenue recognition. Under the percentage-of-completion method, progress towards completion is generally measured by labor hours. The Company considers a signed non-cancelable license agreement, a customer purchase order, a customer purchase requisition, or a sales quotation signed by an authorized purchaser of the customer to be persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists such that revenue can be recognized. The Company's customer contracts may include multi-element arrangements that include a delivered element (a software license) and undelivered elements (such as maintenance and support and/or consulting). The value allocated to the undelivered elements is unbundled from the delivered element based on vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) of the fair value of the maintenance and support and/or consulting, regardless of any separate prices stated within the contract. VSOE of fair value is defined as: (i) the price charged when the same element is sold separately, or (ii) if the element has not yet been sold separately, the price for the element established by management having the relevant authority when it is probable that the price will not change before the introduction of the element into the marketplace. The Company then allocates the remaining balance to the delivered element (a software license) regardless of any separate prices stated within the contract using the residual method as the VSOE of all undelivered elements is determinable. We defer revenue for any undelivered elements, and recognize revenue for delivered elements only when the VSOE of undelivered elements are known, uncertainties regarding customer acceptance are resolved, and there are no customer-negotiated refund or return rights affecting the revenue recognized for delivered elements. If we cannot objectively determine the fair value of any undelivered element included in bundled software and service arrangements, we defer revenue until all elements are delivered and services have been performed, or until fair value can objectively be determined for any remaining undelivered elements. An assessment of the ability of the Company's customers to pay is another consideration that affects revenue recognition. In some cases, the Company sells to undercapitalized customers. In those circumstances, revenue recognition is deferred until cash is received, the customer has established a history of making timely payments or the customer's financial condition has improved. Furthermore, once revenue has been recognized, the Company evaluates the related accounts receivable balance at each period end for amounts that we believe may no longer be collectible. This evaluation is largely done based on a review of the financial condition via credit agencies and historical experience with the customer. Any deterioration in credit worthiness of a customer may impact the Company's evaluation of accounts receivable in any given period. Revenue from support and maintenance activities, which consist of fees for ongoing support and unspecified product updates, are recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance contract, typically one year, and the associated costs are expensed as incurred. Consulting and implementation services are performed on a "best efforts" basis and may be billed under time-and-materials or fixed price arrangements. Revenues and expenses relating to providing consulting services are generally recognized as the services are performed. Revenue from hosting activities, which consist of fees for storing customer data, are recognized as the services are performed, and the associated costs are expensed as incurred. *Recently Issued Accounting Standards* In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued authoritative guidance on the disclosure of offsetting assets and liabilities. Under the new guidance, entities are required to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. The new guidance will be effective for Daegis beginning May 1, 2013. This guidance will not a have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. In September 2011, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on when to perform the two-step impairment test for goodwill. Under the new guidance, an entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. The new guidance includes examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider in evaluating whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The new guidance was adopted by Daegis upon issuance. We will implement this guidance in our next goodwill impairment test. In June 2011, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on the presentation of other comprehensive income. Under the new guidance, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The new guidance will be effective for Daegis beginning May 1, 2012. This guidance will not a have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. *Reclassifications* During the third quarter of fiscal year 2012, the Company revised the statements of cash flows for the nine months ended January 31, 2011. The revisions were related to certain debt issuance costs and capital lease transactions of which both reclassifications were deemed to be immaterial. The Company reclassified cash outflows of $1,231,000 from the operating activities section of the cash flow statement to the financing section of the cash flow statement. These reclassifications had no effect on net income. Additionally, certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period consolidated statement of operations to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income.

1. Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Daegis Inc. (formerly Unify Corporation) (the "Company", "we", "us", "our") pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our subsidiaries that we control due to ownership of a controlling interest. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. While the interim financial information contained in this filing is unaudited, such financial statements, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, together with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, which are included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2011, as filed with the SEC.

Revenue Recognition

The Company generates revenue from software license sales and related services, including maintenance and support, hosting, and consulting and implementation services. The Company licenses its products to end-user customers, including corporate legal and IT departments, law firms, independent software vendors ("ISVs"), international distributors and value-added resellers ("VARs"). The Company's products are generally sold with a perpetual license. The Company's contracts with ISVs, VARs and international distributors do not include special considerations such as rights of return, stock rotation, price protection or special acceptance. The Company exercises judgment in connection with the determination of the amount of revenue to be recognized in each accounting period. The nature of each contractual arrangement determines how revenues and related costs are recognized.

For software license arrangements that do not require significant modification or customization of the underlying software, revenue is recognized when the software product or service has been shipped or electronically delivered, the license fees are fixed and determinable, uncertainties regarding customer acceptance are resolved, collectability is probable and persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists.

For fixed price arrangements that require significant modification or customization of software, the Company uses the percentage-of-completion method for revenue recognition. Under the percentage-of-completion method, progress towards completion is generally measured by labor hours.

The Company considers a signed non-cancelable license agreement, a customer purchase order, a customer purchase requisition, or a sales quotation signed by an authorized purchaser of the customer to be persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists such that revenue can be recognized.

The Company's customer contracts may include multi-element arrangements that include a delivered element (a software license) and undelivered elements (such as maintenance and support and/or consulting). The value allocated to the undelivered elements is unbundled from the delivered element based on vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) of the fair value of the maintenance and support and/or consulting, regardless of any separate prices stated within the contract. VSOE of fair value is defined as: (i) the price charged when the same element is sold separately, or (ii) if the element has not yet been sold separately, the price for the element established by management having the relevant authority when it is probable that the price will not change before the introduction of the element into the marketplace. The Company then allocates the remaining balance to the delivered element (a software license) regardless of any separate prices stated within the contract using the residual method as the VSOE of all undelivered elements is determinable.

We defer revenue for any undelivered elements, and recognize revenue for delivered elements only when the VSOE of undelivered elements are known, uncertainties regarding customer acceptance are resolved, and there are no customer-negotiated refund or return rights affecting the revenue recognized for delivered elements. If we cannot objectively determine the fair value of any undelivered element included in bundled software and service arrangements, we defer revenue until all elements are delivered and services have been performed, or until fair value can objectively be determined for any remaining undelivered elements.
