Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]

2013 Restructuring Plans

In June 2013, the Company’s leadership evaluated the marketing and selling teams and, in an effort to better align sales resources with the Company’s strategic goals and enhance its global account team approach, eliminated 31 positions. As a result, the Company recognized related restructuring costs of $1.7 million in 2013.

During November and December 2013, the Company’s executive management team identified opportunities to lower costs in the supply and hardware technology group by eliminating 29 positions in hardware shared services and 15 positions in the supply and technology group. Additionally, an engineering reorganization at the same time resulted in the elimination of four engineering positions. As a result, the Company recognized $1.7 million of related restructuring costs in 2013.

Prior Year Restructuring Plans

During the first quarter of 2013, the Company recorded revisions totaling $0.3 million, primarily resulting from sublease assumption changes related to the partial abandonment of a facility in Mountain View, California under the 2012 Plan.

The remaining accrual balance of $5.0 million at March 31, 2014 was mainly related to the closure of part of the Company’s Mountain View and Daly City, California; Pinewood, UK; and Dublin, Ireland facilities under 2008, 2010 and 2012 restructuring plans. No further restructuring actions are anticipated under these plans.
