Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies	'
	The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, which was filed with the SEC on March 13, 2014 (“2013 Form 10-K”).
	The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013, included herein, was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date but does not include all disclosures, including notes required by GAAP.
	In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial positions, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods, but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be anticipated for the full year 2014 or any future period.
	Principles of Consolidation
	The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
	Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to current period presentation. Such reclassifications have no effect on revenues, income from operations or net income as previously reported.
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
	Significant Accounting Policies
	Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2013 Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes to these policies.
	Other Income, Net
	Other income, net consisted of the following:


		Three Months ended September 30,						Nine Months ended September 30,
		2014			2013			2014			2013
		(in thousands)
	Interest income	$	146		$	113		$	412		$	528

	Net realized loss on investments	—			—			(7		)	(60		)

	Interest expense	(12		)	(30		)	(62		)	(113		)
	Total other income, net	$	134		$	83		$	343		$	355

	Comprehensive Income
	Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income includes certain changes in equity that are excluded from net income, specifically unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale investments. Except for net realized loss on investments which was not significant, there were no reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income that affected net income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. ASU 2014-09 also requires significantly expanded disclosures about revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. We are currently evaluating the impact that adoption will have on our consolidated financial statements.
	In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”), which provides guidance on determining when and how reporting entities must disclose going-concern uncertainties in their financial statements. ASU 2014-15 requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date of issuance of the entity’s financial statements (or within one year after the date on which the financial statements are available to be issued, when applicable). Further, an entity must provide certain disclosures if there is “substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.” ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter; early adoption is permitted. We do not believe that adoption of ASU 2014-15 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock	9 Months Ended

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]	'
Net Income (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock	'
	Net income per share of common stock is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share of common stock is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding and potential shares of common stock during the period. Potential shares of common stock include shares attributable to the assumed exercise of stock options, restricted stock unit awards (“RSUs”), performance share awards (“Performance Awards”) and Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) shares using the treasury stock method, if dilutive.
	The components of net income per share of common stock were as follows:


		Three Months ended September 30,						Nine Months ended September 30,
		2014			2013			2014		2013
		(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
	Net income	$	4,055		$	3,360		$	9,193	$	10,958

	Basic shares:
	Weighted average common shares outstanding	28,007,770			26,681,974			27,657,217		26,407,572

	Diluted shares:
	Weighted average shares used to compute basic net income per share	28,007,770			26,681,974			27,657,217		26,407,572

	Effect of potentially dilutive securities:
	Employee stock options, RSUs, Performance Awards and ESPP shares	1,653,441			1,941,118			1,674,945		1,922,949

	Weighted average shares used to compute diluted net income per share	29,661,211			28,623,092			29,332,162		28,330,521

	Net income per share:
	Basic	$	0.14		$	0.13		$	0.33	$	0.41

	Diluted	$	0.14		$	0.12		$	0.31	$	0.39

	The following potential common shares were excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive:


		Three Months ended September 30,					Nine Months ended September 30,
		2014		2013			2014		2013
	Employee stock options and awards	840,161		826,879			914,197		681,394

	Performance Awards are included in the diluted shares outstanding for each period if the established performance criteria have been met at the end of the respective periods. However, if none of the required performance criteria have been met for such awards, we include the number of shares that would be issuable if the end of the reporting period were the end of the contingency period. Accordingly, in addition to the employee stock options and awards noted above, 106,250 and 124,300 shares underlying Performance Awards have been excluded from the dilutive shares outstanding for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements	9 Months Ended

Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]	'
Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements	'
	Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
	Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
	Level 2 — Valuations based on other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
	Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.
	The following tables set forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company’s financial assets that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis, according to the valuation techniques the Company used to determine their values:


		Fair value at			Fair value measurements

		September 30, 2014			Level 1			Level 2				Level 3

		$	121,973		$	27,859		$	94,114			$	—

	Financial instruments include cash, cash equivalents and investments including investment-grade interest-bearing securities such as money market accounts, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, corporate bonds, municipal and government agency obligations and guaranteed obligations of the U.S. government. We classify our money market funds and U.S. government obligations as Level 1 instruments due to the use of observable market prices for identical securities that are traded in active markets.
	When the Company uses observable market prices for identical securities that are traded in less active markets, the Company classifies its marketable financial instruments as Level 2. When observable market prices for identical securities are not available, the Company prices its marketable financial instruments using non-binding market consensus prices that are corroborated with observable market data; quoted market prices for similar instruments; or pricing models with all significant inputs derived from or corroborated with observable market data. Non-binding market consensus prices are based on the proprietary valuation models of pricing providers. These valuation models incorporate a number of inputs, including non-binding and binding broker quotes; observable market prices for identical or similar securities; and the internal assumptions of pricing providers or brokers that use observable market inputs and, to a lesser degree, unobservable market inputs. The Company corroborates non-binding market consensus prices with observable market data as such data exists.
	At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company did not have any assets or liabilities that were valued using Level 3 inputs. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, there were no transfers of financial instruments among Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 classifications.
	For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 the Company recognized interest income from financial instruments of $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 the Company recognized interest income from financial instruments of $0.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Gross realized gains and gross realized losses from the sale of investments were not significant during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.
	The carrying amounts, gross unrealized gains and losses and estimated fair value of cash and cash equivalents and both short and long-term investments consisted of the following:

Business Combination Disclosure [Text Block]	'
	MortgageCEO
	On January 15, 2014, the Company acquired substantially all the assets of ARG Interactive, LLC (dba MortgageCEO), a software as a service (“SaaS”) company specializing in customer relationship management and marketing solutions for the residential mortgage industry. The Company acquired the MortgageCEO business in order to add functionality to its product offerings. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination and, accordingly, the total purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired based on their respective fair values. The Company expensed all transactions costs, which were insignificant, in the period in which they were incurred.
	The total purchase price was $5.0 million, of which $4.5 million was paid at the time of closing. The remaining $0.5 million (the “holdback funds”) has been retained from the purchase price to cover working capital adjustments and any indemnity claims. Any unused portion of the holdback funds will be paid on July 15, 2015. The liability associated with the holdback funds is recorded to Acquisition holdback, net of discount in the Balance Sheet.
	The allocation of the consideration of $5.0 million to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed under the purchase method of accounting, based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date, is summarized in the following table (in thousands):


	Amortizable intangible assets:
	Developed technology	$	2,927

	Customer relationships	643

	Trade name	41

	Goodwill	1,409

	Developed technology consists of the technology underlying MortgageCEO’s existing products. The value of the developed technology was determined by discounting the estimated net future cash flows of these products. The Company is amortizing the developed technology on a straight-line basis over an estimated life of 5 years.
	Customer relationships relate to the Company’s ability to sell existing and future versions of the Company’s products and services to existing MortgageCEO customers. The fair value of the customer relationships was determined by discounting the estimated future net cash flows from future sales to existing customers. The Company is amortizing customer relationships on a straight-line basis over an estimated life of 5 years.
	Trade name represents the right to use the MortgageCEO name. The fair value of the trade name was determined by estimating a benefit from owning the asset rather than paying a royalty to a third party for the use of the asset. The Company is amortizing the asset on a straight-line basis over an estimated life of 2 years.
	Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired. Among the factors that contributed to a purchase price in excess of the fair value of the identifiable assets was the acquisition of an assembled workforce and synergies between the Company’s products and MortgageCEO’s products.
	MortgageCEO’s results of operations since the closing date of January 15, 2014 have been included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. If the acquisition had occurred as of January 1, 2014, the revenue and earnings of the combined entity for the current reporting period would have been approximately the same. MortgageCEO’s revenues and earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were not significant.
	AllRegs
	On October 1, 2014, the Company acquired substantially all the assets of Mortgage Resource Center, Inc. (dba AllRegs), a provider of investor guideline and federal and state statute and regulation compliance information, forms, content and business intelligence for the mortgage lending industry. The Company paid $28.2 million in cash, of which $3.0 million has been placed in escrow to cover closing capital settlement adjustments and any indemnity claims. Any amount remaining in escrow 18 months after the date of acquisition will be paid to the seller. The transaction will be accounted for as a business combination and the total purchase price will be allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values.

Income Taxes	Sep. 30, 2014
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]	'
Income Taxes	'
	We compute our interim provision for income taxes by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to the year-to-date income from recurring operations and adjust the provision for discrete tax items recorded in the period. We evaluate and update our estimated annual effective income tax rate on a quarterly basis. The estimated annual effective tax rate as of September 30, 2014 and 2013 was 47.0% and 35.3%, respectively.
	The difference between the federal statutory rate of 35% and our estimated effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was primarily due to our state income tax provision and non-deductible stock-based compensation expenses and limitations of tax deductions under Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 162(m) for executive compensation, offset by the domestic production activities deduction under IRC Section 199. Our annual estimated effective tax rate fluctuates quarterly due to the impact of stock based compensation deductions on the IRC Section 199 deduction.
	The Company accounts for stock-based compensation pursuant to ASC 718 and uses ASC 740 ordering when determining when excess tax benefits have been realized. The Company realized a tax benefit of $3.1 million and $5.3 million million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 related to the exercise of employee stock options and the vesting of RSUs and Performance Awards. The net income tax benefit in excess of the expenses recorded for financial reporting purposes has been recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital and is reflected as a financing cash inflow in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
	Our tax positions are subject to income tax audits by multiple tax jurisdictions. We account for uncertain tax positions and believe that we have provided adequate reserves for our unrecognized tax benefits for all tax years still open for assessment. We also believe that we do not have any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the next twelve months.
	We have a policy to classify accrued interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions together with the related liability in the balance sheet, and to include the expenses incurred related to such accruals in the provision for income taxes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we included interest and penalties of $63,000 in the provision for income taxes. There were no interest or penalties included in the provision for income taxes during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

	In January 2014, we entered into a lease agreement to finance the purchase of computer equipment with payments of $50,000 per month over the 36 month term of the agreement. In April 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to lease office space in Parsippany, New Jersey, with payments ranging from $2,000 per month to $5,000 per month over the 66 month term of the lease agreement. In May 2014, we entered into an agreement to lease office space in San Diego, California, with payments ranging from $11,000 per month to $12,000 per month over the 39 month term of the lease agreement. In May 2014, we entered into an amendment to our existing lease of office space in Calabasas, California, in which we will make payments of $2,000 per month over the five month term of the lease arrangement in return for expanded office space. In July 2014, we entered into a lease agreement for office space in Pleasanton, California that will serve as our future corporate headquarters. The term of the lease commences on April 1, 2015 and has an initial term of 117 months ending December 31, 2024, with payments ranging from $264,000 per month to $344,000 per month.
	Legal Proceedings
	On March 25, 2011, Industry Access Incorporated (“Industry Access”) filed a patent infringement lawsuit against the Company and another defendant in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, alleging, among other things, that certain aspects of our Encompass loan management software system and related operations infringe U.S. Patent No. 7,769,681. On March 19, 2013, Industry Access filed a second patent infringement lawsuit against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, alleging, among other things, that our Encompass loan management software system, including the Encompass software, the Ellie Mae Network, Encompass Originator, Encompass Compliance Service, Encompass CenterWise, Encompass Electronic Document Management, Encompass Docs Solution and Encompass Product and Pricing Service, infringes U.S. Patent Nos. 8,117,120 and 8,145,563, which are continuations of U.S. Patent No. 7,769,681. In both matters, Industry Access sought unspecified damages, including enhanced damages for willful infringement and reasonable attorneys’ fees.
	On September 12, 2013, we filed a motion to relate and consolidate the two Industry Access lawsuits, which the court granted on October 31, 2013. The Court held a claim construction hearing on June 2, 2014, and issued a claim construction order on July 9, 2014. On September 29, 2014, we settled all related matters with Industry Access, which settlement is reflected in our financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.
	We are also subject to various other legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. With respect to these matters, we cannot predict the ultimate outcome of these legal proceedings and the amounts and ranges of potential damages associated with such proceedings cannot be estimated or assessed. An unfavorable outcome of these could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

	Restricted Stock Units and Performance Awards
	In August 2012, the Company granted 147,000 Performance Awards (“2012 Performance Awards”) to designated participants under the 2011 Plan. The 2012 Performance Awards represented the right to receive shares of the Company’s common stock upon achievement of certain performance goals during the performance period of July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013. In August 2013, after the Company filed with the SEC its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, the Compensation Committee determined the level of achievement of the performance goals (the “Determination Date”), at which time the designated participants earned an aggregate of 588,000 shares of common stock. The earned shares were issued in August 2013, with 25% of the shares vested upon issuance and the remaining shares to vest 25% on each of the first three anniversaries of the Determination Date, subject to the continuous employment of the participant through such dates.
	In February 2013, the Company granted 113,000 Performance Awards (“2013 Performance Awards”) to designated participants under the 2011 Plan. The 2013 Performance Awards represent the right to receive shares of the Company’s common stock upon achievement of certain performance goals during the performance period of January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013. In March 2014, after the Company filed with the SEC its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, the Compensation Committee determined the level of achievement of the performance goals (the “2013 Award Determination Date”), at which time it was determined that the designated participants had earned an aggregate of 124,300 shares of common stock. The earned shares were issued in April 2014, with 25% of the shares vested upon issuance and the remaining shares to vest 25% on each of the first three anniversaries of the 2013 Award Determination Date, subject to the continuous employment of the participant through such dates.
In February 2014, the Company granted 62,500 Performance Awards (“2014 Performance Awards”) to designated participants under the 2011 Plan. The 2014 Performance Awards represent the right to receive shares of the Company’s common stock upon achievement of certain performance goals during the performance period of January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014. After the Company files with the SEC its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2014, the Compensation Committee will determine the level of achievement of the performance goals (the “2014 Award Determination Date”), at which time the designated participants may earn between zero and 2.5 shares of common stock for each 2014 Performance Award. Shares of common stock earned, if any, will be issued after the 2014 Award Determination Date with 25% of the shares to vest upon issuance and the remaining shares to vest 25% on each of the first three anniversaries of the 2014 Award Determination Date, subject to the continuous employment of the participant through such dates. As of September 30, 2014, we expect that each award will convert to 1.7 shares of common stock on the 2014 Award Determination Date.
The following table summarizes our RSU and Performance Award activity:

	We operate in one industry—mortgage-related software and services. Our chief operating decision makers are our chief executive officer and president and chief operating officer, who make decisions about resource allocation and review financial information presented on a consolidated basis. Accordingly, we have determined that we have a single reporting segment and operating unit structure, specifically technology-enabled solutions to help streamline and automate the residential mortgage origination process for our network participants.
	We are organized primarily on the basis of service lines. Supplemental disclosure of revenues by type is as follows:


		Three Months ended September 30,				Nine Months ended September 30,

For the quarterly period ended September 30, 2014, we included professional services revenues in either on-demand revenues or on-premise revenues as determined by the related service or software license revenue. We have retrospectively reclassified our disclosure of on-demand and on-premise revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 in order to conform to the current presentation.

	Principles of Consolidation
	The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
	Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to current period presentation. Such reclassifications have no effect on revenues, income from operations or net income as previously reported.
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	'
	Significant Accounting Policies
	Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2013 Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes to these policies.
Comprehensive Income [Policy Text Block]	'
	Comprehensive Income
	Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income includes certain changes in equity that are excluded from net income, specifically unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale investments. Except for net realized loss on investments which was not significant, there were no reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income that affected net income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. ASU 2014-09 also requires significantly expanded disclosures about revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. We are currently evaluating the impact that adoption will have on our consolidated financial statements.
	In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”), which provides guidance on determining when and how reporting entities must disclose going-concern uncertainties in their financial statements. ASU 2014-15 requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date of issuance of the entity’s financial statements (or within one year after the date on which the financial statements are available to be issued, when applicable). Further, an entity must provide certain disclosures if there is “substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.” ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter; early adoption is permitted. We do not believe that adoption of ASU 2014-15 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
