Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	Basis of Presentation
	The accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive (loss) income and cash flows for each of the three years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012 represent our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods then ended. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of RealPage, Inc. and our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
	Segment and Geographic Information
	Our chief operating decision maker is our Chief Executive Officer, who reviews financial information presented on a company-wide basis. As a result, we determined that the Company has a single reporting segment and operating unit structure.
	Principally, all of our revenue for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012 was earned in the United States.
	Net long-lived assets held were $66.5 million and $51.5 million in the United States, and $6.1 million and $3.3 million in our international subsidiaries at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires our management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts; the useful lives of intangible assets and the recoverability or impairment of tangible and intangible asset values; fair value measurements; purchase accounting allocations and contingent consideration; revenue and deferred revenue and related reserves; stock-based compensation and our effective income tax rate and the recoverability of deferred tax assets, which are based upon our expectations of future taxable income and allowable deductions. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
	In the second quarter of 2013, we revised our estimated useful lives of our data processing equipment and internally developed software to more accurately reflect our use of these assets. The result of the change for the year ended December 31, 2013 was a $3.5 million increase in operating income, a $1.9 million increase in net income and an increase in basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.03. During the third quarter of 2013, we revised the length of our expected customer benefit of our license fees billed at the initial order date. The result of the change for the year ended December 31, 2013 was a $2.8 million increase in operating income, a $1.5 million increase in net income and an increase in basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.02.
	Cash Equivalents
	We consider all highly liquid investments with a maturity date, when purchased, of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
	Concentrations of Credit Risk
	Our cash accounts are maintained at various financial institutions and may, from time to time, exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
	Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable result from substantially all of our customers being in the multifamily rental housing market. Our customers, however, are dispersed across different geographic areas. We do not require collateral from customers. We maintain an allowance for losses based upon the expected collectability of accounts receivable. Accounts receivable are written off upon determination of non-collectability following established Company policies based on the aging from the accounts receivable invoice date.
	No single customer accounted for 10% or more of our revenue or accounts receivable for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 or 2012. Revenues for our largest customer were 4.9%, 3.4% and 2.2% of total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	Financial assets and liabilities with carrying amounts approximating fair value include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities. The carrying amount of these financial assets and liabilities approximates fair value because of their short maturities. The carrying amount of our other long-term liabilities approximates their fair value.
	Fair Value Measurements
	We measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value pursuant to a fair value hierarchy based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value that are either observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources while unobservable inputs reflect a reporting entity’s pricing based upon its own market assumptions. See additional discussion of our fair value measurements at Footnote 14.
	Accounts Receivable
	For several of our solutions, we invoice customers prior to the period in which service is provided. Accounts receivable represent trade receivables from customers when we have invoiced for software solutions and/or services and we have not yet received payment. We present accounts receivable net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of customers to make required payments, or the customer canceling prior to the service being rendered. As a result, a portion of our allowance is for services not yet rendered and, therefore, is classified as an offset to deferred revenue, which does not have an effect on the statement of operations. In evaluating the sufficiency of the allowance for doubtful accounts we consider the current financial condition of the customer, the specific details of the customer account, the age of the outstanding balance, the current economic environment and historical credit trends. Any change in the assumptions used in analyzing a specific account receivable might result in an additional allowance for doubtful accounts being recognized in the period in which the change occurs. For certain transactions, we have met the requirements to recognize income in advance of physically invoicing the customer. In these instances, we record unbilled receivables for the amount that will be due from the customer upon invoicing. Receivable balances are charged off when all collection efforts have failed and management determines the balance is uncollectable. In the case of balances relating to services not yet rendered, the balance is charged off when the customer cancels the service or when we determine that the invoiced service will no longer be provided, whichever occurs first. During the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, we incurred bad debt expense of $1.5 million, $2.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively.
	Property, Equipment and Software
	Property, equipment and software are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization, which are computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
	Leasehold improvements	1-10 years
	Data processing and communications equipment	1-10 years
	Furniture, fixtures and other equipment	1- 5 years
	Software	1- 5 years
	Software includes purchased software and internally developed software. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful lives of the assets. Gains and losses from asset disposals are classified as general and administrative expenses in our statement of operations.
	Business Combinations
	When we acquire businesses, we allocate the total consideration paid to the fair value of the tangible assets, liabilities and identifiable intangible assets acquired. Any residual purchase consideration is recorded as goodwill. The allocation of the purchase price requires our management to make significant estimates in determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, in particular with respect to identified intangible assets. These estimates are based on the application of valuation models using historical experience and information obtained from the management of the acquired companies. These estimates can include, but are not limited to, the cash flows that an asset is expected to generate in the future, the appropriate weighted-average cost of capital and the cost savings expected to be derived from acquiring an asset. These estimates are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. In addition, unanticipated events and circumstances may occur which may affect the accuracy or validity of these estimates. We include the fair value of contingent consideration to be paid within the total consideration allocated to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. This requires us to make estimates regarding the fair value of the amounts to be paid. Additionally, we, at times, provide for the payment of additional cash consideration to the extent certain targets are achieved in the future. The fair value of this contingent consideration is based on significant estimates and is initially recorded as purchase price. To the extent the fair value changes prior to distribution, these changes are reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. We expense acquisition-related costs as incurred rather than including as a component of purchase price.
	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
	We perform an impairment review of long-lived assets held and used whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors we consider important that could trigger an impairment review include, but are not limited to, significant under-performance relative to projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of our use of the acquired assets or our overall business and/or product strategies. When we determine that the carrying value of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of these indicators, we determine the recoverability by comparing the carrying amount of the asset or asset group to net future undiscounted cash flows that the asset or assets are expected to generate. We would then recognize an impairment charge equal to the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the asset or assets.
	Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets with Indefinite Lives
	We test goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment separately on an annual basis in the fourth quarter of each year. Additionally, we will test goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives in the interim if events and circumstances indicate that goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives may be impaired. The events and circumstances that we consider include, but are not limited to, significant under-performance relative to projected future operating results and significant changes in our overall business and/or product strategies.
	If an event or circumstance occurs that would cause us to revise our estimates and assumptions used in analyzing the value of our goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives, the revision could result in a non-cash impairment charge that could have a material impact on our financial results. We evaluate impairment of goodwill by first performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If it is concluded that this is the case, it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. The first step involves a comparison of the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step involves a comparison of the implied fair value and carrying amount of the goodwill of that reporting unit to determine the impairment charge, if any.
	We quantitatively evaluate other intangible assets with indefinite lives by estimating the fair value of those assets based on estimated future earnings derived from the assets using the income approach model. For those intangible assets with indefinite lives that have been determined to be inseparable due to their interchangeable use, we have grouped these assets into single units of accounting for purposes of testing for impairment. If the carrying amount of the other intangible assets with indefinite lives exceeds the fair value, we would recognize an impairment loss equal to the excess of carrying value over fair value.
	There was no impairment of goodwill indicated in 2014, 2013 or 2012. During 2014, we recognized an impairment of the MyNewPlace trade name in the amount of $0.3 million. Other than this trade name, no impairment of other intangible assets was indicated in 2014. No impairment of other intangible assets was indicated in 2013 or 2012.
	Intangible Assets
	Intangible assets consist of acquired developed product technologies, acquired customer relationships, vendor relationships and trade names. We record intangible assets at fair value and amortize those with finite lives over the shorter of the contractual life or the estimated useful life. We estimate the useful lives of acquired developed product technologies and customer relationships based on factors that include the planned use of each developed product technology and the expected pattern of future cash flows to be derived from each developed product technology and existing customer relationships. Estimated useful lives for finite-lived intangible assets consist of the following:
	Developed technologies	3 years
	Customer relationships	1-10 years
	Vendor relationships	7 years
	We include amortization of acquired developed product technologies in cost of revenue, amortization of acquired customer relationships in sales and marketing expenses and amortization of vendor relationships and non-competition agreements in general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of operations.
	Income Taxes
	Income taxes are provided based on the liability method, which results in income tax assets and liabilities arising from temporary differences. Temporary differences are differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years. The liability method requires the effect of tax rate changes on current and accumulated deferred income taxes to be reflected in the period in which the rate change was enacted. The liability method also requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance unless it is more likely than not that the assets will be realized.
	We may recognize a tax benefit from uncertain tax positions only if it is at least more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement with the taxing authorities. There were no identified tax benefits that were considered uncertain positions at December 31, 2014 and 2013.
	We establish valuation allowances when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. We evaluate the need for, and the adequacy of, valuation allowances based on the expected realization of our deferred tax assets. The factors used to assess the likelihood of realization include historical earnings, our latest forecast of taxable income and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize the net deferred tax assets.
	Revenue Recognition
	We derive our revenue from three primary sources: our on demand software solutions, our on premise software solutions and professional and other services. We commence revenue recognition when all of the following conditions are met:
	•	there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement;
	•	the solution and/or service has been provided to the customer;
	•	the collection of the fees is probable; and
	•	the amount of fees to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable.
	If the fees are not fixed or determinable, we recognize revenues when these criteria are met, which could be as payments become due from customers, or when amounts owed are collected. Accordingly, this may materially affect the timing of our revenue recognition and results of operations.
	For multi-element arrangements that include multiple software solutions and/or services, we allocate arrangement consideration to all deliverables that have stand-alone value based on their relative selling prices. In such circumstances, we utilize the following hierarchy to determine the selling price to be used for allocating revenue to deliverables as follows:
	•	Vendor specific objective evidence ("VSOE"), if available. The price at which we sell the element in a separate stand-alone transaction;
	•	Third-party evidence of selling price ("TPE"), if VSOE of selling price is not available. Evidence from us or other companies of the value of a largely interchangeable element in a transaction; and
	•	Estimated selling price ("ESP"), if neither VSOE nor TPE of selling price is available. Our best estimate of the stand-alone selling price of an element in a transaction.
	Our process for determining ESP for deliverables without VSOE or TPE considers multiple factors that may vary depending upon the unique facts and circumstances related to each deliverable. Key factors primarily considered in developing ESP include prices charged by us for similar offerings when sold separately, pricing policies and approvals from standard pricing and other business objectives.
	From time to time, we sell on demand software solutions with professional services. In such cases, as each element has stand-alone value, we allocate arrangement consideration based on our ESP of the on demand software solution and VSOE of the selling price of the professional services.
	Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are presented on a net basis.
	On Demand Revenue
	Our on demand revenue consists of license and subscription fees, transaction fees related to certain of our software-enabled value-added services and commissions derived from us selling certain risk mitigation services.
License and subscription fees are comprised of a charge billed at the initial order date and monthly or annual subscription fees for accessing our on demand software solutions. The license fee billed at the initial order date is recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the longer of the contractual term or the period in which the customer is expected to benefit, which we consider to be three years. Recognition starts once the product has been activated. Revenue from monthly and annual subscription fees is recognized on a straight-line basis over the access period.
We recognize revenue from transaction fees derived from certain of our software-enabled value-added services as the related services are performed.
As part of our risk mitigation services to the rental housing industry, we act as an insurance agent and derive commission revenue from the sale of insurance products to individuals. The commissions are based upon a percentage of the premium that the insurance company charges to the policyholder and are subject to forfeiture in instances where a policyholder cancels prior to the end of the policy. If the policy is cancelled, our commissions are forfeited as a percent of the unearned premium. As a result, we recognize the commissions related to these services ratably over the policy term as the associated premiums are earned. Our contract with our underwriting partner provides for contingent commissions to be paid to us in accordance with the agreement. This agreement provides for a calculation that considers, on the policies sold by us, earned premiums less i) earned agent commissions; ii) a percent of premium retained by our underwriting partner; iii) incurred losses and iv) profit retained by our underwriting partner during the time period. Our estimate of contingent commission revenue considers historical loss experience on the policies sold by us.
On Premise Revenue
Revenue from our on premise software solutions is comprised of an annual term license, which includes maintenance and support. Customers can renew their annual term license for additional one-year terms at renewal price levels. We recognize the annual term license on a straight-line basis over the contract term.
In addition, we have arrangements that include perpetual licenses with maintenance and other services to be provided over a fixed term. We allocate and defer revenue equivalent to the VSOE of fair value for the undelivered elements and recognize the difference between the total arrangement fee and the amount deferred for the undelivered elements as revenue. We have determined that we do not have VSOE of fair value for our customer support and professional services in these specific arrangements. As a result, the elements within our multiple-element sales agreements do not qualify for treatment as separate units of accounting. Accordingly, we account for fees received under multiple-element arrangements with customer support or other professional services as a single unit of accounting and recognize the entire arrangement ratably over the longer of the customer support period or the period during which professional services are rendered.
Professional and Other Revenue
Professional and other revenue is recognized as the services are rendered for time and material contracts. Training revenues are recognized after the services are performed.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue primarily consists of billings or payments received in advance of revenue recognition from our subscription service described above and is recognized as the revenue recognition criteria are met. For several of our solutions, we invoice our customers in annual, monthly or quarterly installments in advance of the commencement of the service period. Accordingly, the deferred revenue balance does not represent the total contract value of annual subscription agreements.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue consists primarily of salaries and related personnel expenses of our operations and support personnel, including training and implementation services, expenses related to the operation of our data center, fees paid to third-party providers, allocations of facilities overhead costs and depreciation, amortization of acquired technologies and amortization of capitalized software.
Customer Acquisition Costs
The costs of obtaining new customers are expensed as incurred.
Stock-Based Compensation
We record stock-based compensation expense for options granted to employees based on the estimated fair value for the awards. We estimate the fair value of time-based vesting awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the date of grant and the associated expense is recognized over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period, on a straight-line basis.
The fair value of market-based vesting awards is estimated using a discrete model based on multiple stock price-paths developed through the use of Monte Carlo simulation. Expense associated with market-based awards is recognized over the requisite service period on a straight-line basis. We estimate the requisite service period based on the median of the distribution of share price-paths on which the market condition is satisfied.
At each stock option grant date, we utilize peer group data to calculate our expected volatility. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility rates of publicly traded peers combined with our historical volatility rates. Expected life is computed using the mid-point between the vesting period and contractual life of the options granted. The risk-free rate is based on the treasury yield rate with a maturity corresponding to the expected option life assumed at the grant date. Forfeiture rates are estimated using historical and expected future trends.
Changes to the assumptions underlying the above models may have a significant impact on the underlying value of the stock options, which could have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
We have granted stock options at exercise prices believed to be equal to the fair market value of our common stock, as of the grant date. The fair value of our time-based restricted stock awards is based on the closing price on the date of grant.
Capitalized Product Development Costs
We capitalize specific product development costs, including costs to develop software products or the software components of our solutions to be marketed to external users, as well as software programs to be used solely to meet our internal needs. The costs incurred in the preliminary stages of development related to research, project planning, training, maintenance and general and administrative activities, and overhead costs are expensed as incurred. The costs of relatively minor upgrades and enhancements to the software are also expensed as incurred. Once an application has reached the development stage, internal and external costs incurred in the performance of application development stage activities, including costs of materials, services and payroll and payroll-related costs for employees, are capitalized, if direct and incremental, until the software is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Capitalization ceases upon completion of all substantial testing. We also capitalize costs related to specific upgrades and enhancements when it is probable the expenditures will result in additional functionality. Capitalized costs are recorded as part of property and equipment. Internal use software is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life, generally three to five years. Our management evaluates the useful lives of these assets on an annual basis and tests for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that could impact the recoverability of these assets. There were no impairments to internal use software during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 or 2012.
Advertising Expenses
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $15.1 million, $11.4 million and $10.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities consisted of the following:
		December 31,
		2014		2013
		(in thousands)
Accrued compensation, payroll taxes and benefits		$	10,317	$	8,145
Current portion of liabilities related to acquisitions		3,905		4,216

Total accrued expenses and other current liabilities		$	22,905	$	23,122
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This new standard will replace all current GAAP guidance on this topic and eliminate all industry-specific guidance. The new revenue recognition standard provides a unified model to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance will be effective for us beginning January 1, 2017 and at that time, can be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. We have not yet selected a transition method nor have we determined the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting.

	2014 Acquisitions
	In January 2014, we acquired certain assets from Bookt LLC, including the InstaManager product (“InstaManager”). InstaManager is a software-as-a-service vacation rental booking engine used by professional managers of vacation rental properties. InstaManager offers marketing websites, online pricing and availability, online booking, automated reservations, payment processing and insurance sales. The acquisition of InstaManager expanded our product offerings to include property management software for the vacation rental market. We acquired InstaManager for a purchase price of $9.2 million, consisting of a cash payment of $6.0 million at closing, a deferred cash payment of up to $1.0 million payable over two years after the acquisition date, and additional cash payments totaling up to $7.0 million contingent upon meeting certain revenue targets for the years ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2016. The initial fair value of the deferred and contingent cash payments was $0.8 million and $2.4 million, respectively. The fair value of the deferred cash payments was estimated based on the present value, as of the date of acquisition, of anticipated future payments. The fair value of the contingent cash payments was based on management’s estimate of the fair value of the cash payment using a probability weighted discount model on the achievement of certain revenue targets and is evaluated quarterly. This acquisition was financed from cash flows provided by operations. Acquired intangibles were recorded at their estimated fair value based on assumptions made by us. The acquired developed product technologies have a useful life of three years amortized on a straight-line basis. The trade name acquired has an indefinite useful life as we do not plan to cease using the trade name in the marketplace. Direct acquisition costs were less than $0.1 million and expensed as incurred. We included the results of operations of this acquisition in our consolidated financial statements from the effective date of the acquisition. Goodwill and identified intangibles associated with this acquisition are deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill arising from the acquisition consists largely of the economies of scale expected from integrating InstaManager into our existing operating structure. The aggregate fair value of the contingent cash payments was $2.3 million at December 31, 2014. During the year ended December 31, 2014 we recognized a net gain of less than $0.1 million due to the changes in the estimated fair value of the contingent cash payments.
	In March 2014, we acquired certain assets from Virtual Maintenance Manager LLC, including the Virtual Maintenance Manager product (“VMM”). VMM is a software-as-a-service application that facilitates the management of the end-to-end maintenance life cycle for single family and multifamily rental properties and provides property managers visibility into their maintenance costs, manages resources and provides business control for property managers. We integrated VMM into our existing Propertyware products. We acquired the VMM assets for a purchase price of $1.2 million, consisting of a cash payment of $1.0 million at closing, a deferred cash payment of up to $0.2 million payable over two years after the acquisition date, and additional cash payments of up to $2.0 million if certain revenue targets are met for the twelve months ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2016. The initial fair value of the deferred and contingent cash payments was $0.2 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively. The fair value of the deferred cash payments was estimated based on the present value, as of the date of acquisition, of anticipated future payments. The fair value of the contingent cash payments was based on management’s estimate of the fair value of the cash payments using a probability weighted discount model on the achievement of certain revenue targets and will be evaluated quarterly. This acquisition was financed from cash flows provided by operations. Acquired intangibles were recorded at their estimated fair value based on assumptions made by us. The acquired developed product technologies have a useful life of three years to be amortized on a straight-line basis. Acquired customer relationships have a useful life of five years which will be amortized proportionately to the expected discounted cash flows derived from the asset. Direct acquisition costs were less than $0.1 million and expensed as incurred. We included the results of operations of this acquisition in our consolidated financial statements from the effective date of the acquisition. Goodwill and identified intangibles associated with this acquisition are deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill arising from the acquisition consists largely of the economies of scale expected from integrating VMM into our existing operating structure and from anticipated synergies with our existing products. The aggregate fair value of the contingent cash payments was less than $0.1 million at December 31, 2014. During the year ended December 31, 2014 we recognized a gain of less than $0.1 million due to the changes in the estimated fair value of the contingent cash payments.
	In May 2014, we acquired certain assets from Notivus Multi-Family LLC ("Notivus").

The initial fair value of the deferred cash payment was approximately $0.8 million. The fair value of the deferred cash payments was estimated based on the present value, as of the date of acquisition, of anticipated future payments. This acquisition was financed from cash flows provided by operations. Acquired intangibles were recorded at their estimated fair value based on assumptions made by us. The acquired developed product technologies have a useful life of three years to be amortized on a straight-line basis. Direct acquisition costs were less than $0.1 million and expensed as incurred. We included the results of operations of this acquisition in our consolidated financial statements from the effective date of the acquisition.

Kigo offers services for vacation rental property management that include vacation rental calendars, scheduling, reservations, accounting, channel management, website design, payment processing and other tasks to aid the management of leads, revenue, resources and lodging calendars. We plan to integrate Kigo with our existing vacation rental products. We acquired Kigo for a purchase price of $36.2 million, consisting of a cash payment of $30.7 million and a deferred cash payment of up to $5.5 million, to be payable over two and a half years after the acquisition date. This acquisition was financed from our revolving line of credit and cash flows provided by operations. Direct acquisition costs were $0.5 million and expensed as incurred. The acquired developed product technologies have a useful life of three years to be amortized on a straight-line basis.

	2012 Acquisitions
	In January 2012, we acquired substantially all of the operating assets of Vigilan, Incorporated (“Vigilan”). A provider of assisted living software-as-a-service solutions, Vigilan products allow assisted living communities to monitor and schedule detailed care, manage labor costs, provide accurate billing and maintain regulatory compliance through its comprehensive compliance module. This asset acquisition allowed us to integrate Vigilan with existing senior living software solutions to further expand the RealPage Senior Living product solutions. We acquired Vigilan for a purchase price of $5.0 million consisting of a cash payment of $4.0 million and two additional cash payments of up to $0.5 million each due 12 months and 24 months after the acquisition date. The $1.0 million withheld from the purchase consideration was subject to a downward adjustment if certain revenue targets were not met for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Revenue targets were met and the amount was not adjusted. The two additional cash payments were made in 2013 and 2014. This acquisition was financed from cash flows from operations. Acquired intangibles were recorded at fair value based on assumptions made by us. The acquired developed product technologies have a useful life of three years and are amortized on a straight-line basis. Acquired customer relationships have a useful life of ten years and are amortized proportionately to the expected discounted cash flows derived from the asset. All direct acquisition costs were $0.1 million and expensed as incurred. We included the results of operations of this acquisition in our consolidated financial statements from the effective date of the acquisition. Goodwill and identified intangibles associated with this acquisition are deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill arising from the acquisition consists largely of the economies of scale expected from integrating Vigilan into our existing operating structure and from anticipated synergies with our existing products.
	In July 2012, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Rent Mine Online, Inc. (“RMO”). The acquisition of RMO expanded our renter referral capabilities into the multifamily residential rental housing market. We acquired RMO for a purchase price consisting of a cash payment of $5.5 million at closing, a deferred cash payment of up to $3.5 million and a contingent deferred earn out payment of up to 300,000 shares of our common stock, payable based on the achievement of certain revenue targets on or before December 31, 2014. In addition, the purchase agreement included a conversion option on the contingent common shares under which the seller can elect to receive, in lieu of common shares, an amount per share equal to the lesser of the average market price or an established threshold, up to one half of the common shares earned. The $3.5 million withheld from the purchase price is subject to a downward adjustment if certain revenue targets were not met as of March 31, 2013. The initial fair value for the future cash payment and the common shares and conversion option were $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively. These fair values were based on management’s estimate of the fair value of the cash, common shares and conversion option using a probability weighted discount model on the achievement of certain revenue targets. As of December 31, 2013, 22,000 shares had been issued and a cash payment of $0.7 million had been made. This acquisition was financed using cash flows from operations. Acquired intangibles were recorded at fair value based on assumptions determined by us. The acquired developed product technologies have a useful life of three years amortized on a straight-line basis. Acquired customer relationships have a useful life of ten years which will be amortized proportionately to the expected discounted cash flows derived from the asset. Direct acquisition costs were $0.1 million and expensed as incurred. We included the results of operations of this acquisition in our consolidated financial statements from the effective date of the acquisition. Goodwill and identified intangible assets are not deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill arising from the acquisition consists largely of the economies of scale expected from integrating RMO into our existing operating structure and from anticipated synergies with our existing products. As of December 31, 2013, we recognized a loss of $1.3 million due to changes in the estimated fair value of the cash acquisition-related contingent consideration. As of December 31, 2013, we recognized no income or expense and expense of $0.3 million due to changes in the common shares and the conversion option, respectively. In 2014, the remaining obligations relating to the deferred cash and earn out payments were settled through a cash payment of $0.6 million.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Debt	Debt
	Credit Facility Opened September 2014
	On September 30, 2014, we entered into a new agreement for a secured revolving credit facility to refinance our outstanding revolving loans. The new credit facility provides an aggregate principal amount of up to $200.0 million, with sublimits of $10.0 million for the issuance of letters of credit and for $20.0 million of swingline loans. The credit facility also allows us, subject to certain conditions, to request additional term loans or revolving commitments in an aggregate principal amount of up to $150.0 million, plus an amount that would not cause our consolidated net leverage ratio, which is a ratio of the Company’s consolidated funded indebtedness to its consolidated EBIDTA, to exceed 3.25 to 1.00. Advances under the credit facility may be voluntarily prepaid and re-borrowed. At our option, the revolving loans accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to either LIBOR, plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.75%, or the Base Rate, plus a margin ranging from 0.25% to 0.75%. The Base Rate is defined as the greater of Wells Fargo's prime rate, the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% or one month LIBOR plus 1.00%. In each case, the applicable margin is determined based upon our consolidated net leverage ratio. The interest is due and payable quarterly, in arrears, for loans bearing interest at the Base Rate and at the end of the applicable interest period in the case of loans bearing interest at the adjusted LIBOR rate. The credit facility is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets and certain of our existing and future material domestic subsidiaries are required to guaranty our obligations under the credit facility. All outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest is due upon the credit facility's maturity, September 30, 2019.
	Our credit facility contains customary covenants, subject in each case to customary exceptions and qualifications, which limit our and certain of our subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness or guarantee indebtedness of others; create liens on our assets; enter into mergers or consolidations; dispose of assets; prepay certain indebtedness or make changes to our governing documents and certain of our agreements; pay dividends and make other distributions on our capital stock, and redeem and repurchase our capital stock; make investments, including acquisitions; and enter into transactions with affiliates. Our credit facility additionally contains customary affirmative covenants. We are also required to comply with a maximum consolidated net leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio. The interest coverage ratio, which is a ratio of our four previous fiscal consecutive quarters' consolidated EBITDA to our interest expense, is to be not less than 3.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter. The consolidated net leverage ratio, which is the ratio of funded indebtedness on the last day of each fiscal quarter to the four previous consecutive fiscal quarters' consolidated EBITDA, is not to be greater than 3.50 to 1.00, provided that we can elect to increase the ratio to 3.75 to 1.00 for a specified period following a permitted acquisition. As of December 31, 2014, we were in compliance with the covenants under our credit facility.
	The credit facility contains customary events of default, subject to customary cure periods for certain defaults, that include, among others, non-payment defaults, covenant defaults, material judgment defaults, bankruptcy and insolvency defaults, cross-defaults to certain other material indebtedness, ERISA defaults, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, and a change in control default.
	In the event of a default on our credit facility, the obligations under the credit facility could be accelerated, the applicable interest rate under the credit facility could be increased, the loan commitments could be terminated, our subsidiaries that have guaranteed the credit facility could be required to pay the obligations in full, and our lenders would be permitted to exercise remedies with respect to all of the collateral that is securing the credit facility, including substantially all of our and our subsidiary guarantors’ assets. Any such default that is not cured or waived could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and financial condition.
	As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, we had $20.0 million and $0.0 million, respectively, outstanding under our revolving line of credit. As of December 31, 2014, $180.0 million was available under our revolving line of credit of which $10.0 million was available for the issuance of letters of credit. We had unamortized debt issuance costs of $1.3 million and $0.3 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
	Previous Credit Facility
	Our previous secured revolving credit facility had an aggregate principal amount of up to $150.0 million, subject to a borrowing formula, with a sub-limit of $10.0 million for the issuance of letters of credit on our behalf. At our option, the borrowings accrued interest at a per annum rate equal to either LIBOR or Wells Fargo’s prime rate (or, if greater, the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% or three month LIBOR plus 1.00%), in each case plus a margin ranging from 2.00% to 2.50%, in the case of LIBOR loans, and 0.00% to 0.25% in the case of prime rate loans, in each case based upon our senior leverage ratio. The interest was due and payable monthly, in arrears, for loans bearing interest at the prime rate and at the end of the applicable 1-, 2-, or 3-month interest period in the case of loans bearing interest at the adjusted LIBOR rate.
	In May 2014, we entered into an amendment to the previous credit facility. Under the terms of the amendment, the restrictive covenants were amended to permit us to repurchase up to $75.0 million of our common stock, subject to certain conditions. Additionally, the fixed charge coverage ratio was replaced with a new minimum interest expense coverage ratio and the capital expenditures limitations were increased.
	In June 2014, we entered into an amendment to the previous credit facility. Under the terms of the amendment, the parties to the credit facility consented to the acquisition of Kigo and agreed that the acquisition of Kigo would be a "Permitted Acquisition," as defined in the credit facility and would be excluded from the calculation of the Permitted Acquisition limit. Additionally, the amendment increased the value of our equipment that could be in the hands of our employees, consultants, or customers in the ordinary course of business to $2.5 million and amended the definition of "Aggregate Permitted Acquisition Limit" to $150.0 million, plus an additional $100.0 million if certain conditions are met. In June 2014, we borrowed a total of $25.0 million from our revolving line of credit in order to partially finance our acquisition of Kigo.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]
Stock-based Compensation	Stock-based Compensation
	Our Amended and Restated 1998 Stock Incentive Plan (“Stock Incentive Plan”) provided for awards which could be granted in the form of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights and performance restricted stock. In August 2010 we discontinued issuance of new awards under the Stock Incentive Plan and concurrently adopted the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan ("Equity Incentive Plan"). The Equity Incentive Plan provides for awards which can be may be granted in the form of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance units and performance shares under substantially the same terms as the Stock Incentive Plan.
	We also grant awards to our directors, generally in the form of stock options, in accordance with the Board of Directors Policy (“Board Plan”). The options generally vest immediately and have a four-year term. Should a director leave the board, we have the right to repurchase shares as if the options vested on a pro rata basis.
	In connection with our acquisition of Multifamily Technology Solutions, Inc. ("MTS"), on August 24, 2011, we assumed 349,693 non-qualified and incentive stock options granted from MTS’s 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (“MTS Plan”) for 96 employees. Assumed options were converted to equivalent stock-based awards of RealPage based on the ratio of our fair market value of stock to the fair market value of MTS’s stock on the acquisition date. The number of shares and ratio of exercise price to market price were equitably adjusted to preserve the intrinsic value of the award as of immediately prior to the acquisition. The conversion was accounted for as a modification which did not result in an incremental increase in the fair value of the assumed option awards. The majority of assumed options vest over a four-year period at a rate of 25% or 20% after one year and then monthly on a straight-line basis thereafter while others vest ratably over a four-year period. Options granted generally are exercisable up to 10 years. No further options will be granted under the MTS Plan.
	Our board of directors periodically approves increases to the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Equity Incentive Plan. At both December 31, 2014 and 2013, 22,134,259 shares of the Company's common stock were reserved for awards under the Equity Incentive Plan. The exercise of stock options and restricted stock units are fulfilled through the issuance of previously authorized but unissued common stock shares.
	Total compensation expense related to our stock-based compensation plans was $37.1 million, $29.7 million and $18.2 million, for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012 we recognized a tax benefit of $14.0 million, $11.2 million and $6.8 million, respectively. Total unrecognized compensation expense related to our stock-based compensation plans was $57.1 million at December 31, 2014, and is expected to be recognized over a period of 2.0 years. Cash proceeds related to stock-based compensation transactions totaled $9.9 million, $10.6 million and $12.1 million during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively.
	Stock Option Plan
	Stock options granted prior to February 2014 under the generally vest over a period of 16 quarters with 75% vesting ratably over 15 quarters and the remaining 25% vesting in the 16th quarter. Beginning in February 2014, stock options granted generally vest ratably over a period of twelve quarters. Awards under the plan generally expire ten years from the date of the grant. All outstanding options were granted at exercise prices equal to or exceeding our estimate of the fair market value of our common stock at the date of grant.

	Weighted-average grant date fair value	$6.44	$10.37	$9.78
	Risk-free interest rate. This is the average U.S. Treasury rate (having a term that most closely approximates the expected life of the option) for the period in which the option was granted.
	Expected life of the options. This is the period of time that the options granted are expected to remain outstanding.
	Forfeiture rate. This is the projected annual rate at which we expect awards to be forfeited in the future.
	Dividend yield. We have never declared or paid dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future.
	Expected volatility. Volatility is a measure of the amount by which a financial variable such as a share price has fluctuated (historical volatility) or is expected to fluctuate (expected volatility) during a period. We arrived at a volatility rate after considering our expected and historical volatility rates and the volatility rates of publicly traded peers.
	Restricted Stock Awards
	Restricted stock is an award that entitles the holder to receive shares of our common stock as the award vests. The fair value of each non-market-based restricted stock award is based on the closing common stock price on the date of grant.
	Time-based restricted stock awards:
	Time-based restricted stock awards granted prior to February 2014 generally vest ratably over 16 quarters following the date of grant. Beginning in February 2014, restricted stock awards granted generally vest over a period of 12 quarters following the grant date. Compensation expense for time-based restricted stock awards is recognized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis.
	A summary of time-based restricted stock awards’ activity is presented in the table below.

We have also granted certain employees performance-based restricted stock awards. These shares vest dependent upon attainment of various levels of performance that equal or exceed targeted levels and generally vest in their entirety one to two years from the date of grant.

Market-based restricted stock awards:
During 2014 we granted certain employees market-based restricted stock awards. The shares were issued in two tranches that become eligible for vesting if the average closing price per share of our common stock equals or exceeds an established threshold for each tranche for twenty consecutive days prior to July 1, 2017. The shares vest quarterly over one year following the date they became eligible for vesting and, if then eligible, shall be fully vested on July 1, 2017.

We estimate the fair value of market-based restricted stock awards using a discrete model to analyze the fair value of the subject shares. The discrete model utilizes multiple stock price-paths, through the use of Monte Carlo simulation, which are then analyzed to determine the fair value of the subject shares. The awards granted during 2014 were valued using the following assumptions:
Risk-free interest rates	1.10%
Expected volatility	43.60%
Risk-free interest rate. We estimated the risk free rate from the 3-year U.S. Treasury strip note yield curve at the valuation date.
Expected volatility. Volatility is a measure of the amount by which a financial variable such as a share price has fluctuated (historical volatility) or is expected to fluctuate (expected volatility) during a period. We arrived at a volatility rate after considering our expected and historical volatility rates and the volatility rates of publicly traded peers.
Compensation expense related to market-based restricted stock awards is recognized over the requisite service period on a straight-line basis. The requisite service period is a measure of the expected time to reach the respective vesting threshold. We estimated this period by utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation, considering only those stock price-paths in which the threshold was exceeded. The estimated requisite service period for the market-based restricted stock shares issued in 2014 ranges between twelve and seventeen months.

	The Company leases office facilities and equipment for various terms under long-term, non-cancellable operating lease agreements. The leases expire at various dates through 2020 and provide for renewal options. In the normal course of business, it is expected that these leases will be renewed or replaced by leases on other properties or equipment. The agreements generally require the Company to pay for executory costs such as real estate taxes, insurance and repairs.
	During 2014, the Company entered into sublease agreements for certain of its leased office facilities. These sublease agreements expire through 2017.
	Minimum annual rental commitments under non-cancellable operating leases and total minimum rentals to be received under non-cancellable subleases as were as follows at December 31, 2014:

	Certain of the lease agreements contain provisions for future rent increases, rent free periods or periods in which rent payments are reduced (abated). The total amount of rental payments due over the lease term is charged to rent expense on the straight-line method over the term of the lease. The difference between rent expense recorded and the amount paid is credited or charged to Deferred Rent Obligation, which is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Balance Sheet based on when the expense the deferred rent is expected to be recognize. Rent expense was $11.1 million, $9.7 million and $8.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Income from subleases was $0.1 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. We had no sublease activity during 2012.
	Guarantor Arrangements
	We have agreements whereby we indemnify our officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is or was serving at our request in such capacity. The term of the indemnification period is for the officer or director’s lifetime. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, we have a director and officer insurance policy that limits our exposure and enables us to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. As a result of our insurance policy coverage, we believe the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is minimal. Accordingly, we had no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of December 31, 2014 or 2013.
	In the ordinary course of our business, we enter into standard indemnification provisions in our agreements with our customers. Pursuant to these provisions, we indemnify our customers for losses suffered or incurred in connection with third-party claims that our products infringed upon any U.S. patent, copyright, trademark or other intellectual property right. Where applicable, we generally limit such infringement indemnities to those claims directed solely to our products and not in combination with other software or products. With respect to our products, we also generally reserve the right to resolve such claims by designing a non-infringing alternative, by obtaining a license on reasonable terms, or by terminating our relationship with the customer and refunding the customer’s fees.
	The potential amount of future payments to defend lawsuits or settle indemnified claims under these indemnification provisions is unlimited in certain agreements; however, we believe the estimated fair value of these indemnity provisions is minimal, and, accordingly, we had no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of December 31, 2014 or 2013.
	Litigation
	From time to time, in the normal course of our business, we are a party to litigation matters and claims. Litigation can be expensive and disruptive to normal business operations. Moreover, the results of complex legal proceedings are difficult to predict and our view of these matters may change in the future as the litigation and events related thereto unfold. We expense legal fees as incurred. Insurance recoveries associated with legal costs incurred are recorded when they are deemed probable of recovery.
	We review the status of each matter and record a provision for a liability when we consider both that it is probable that a liability has been incurred and that the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These provisions are reviewed quarterly and adjusted as additional information becomes available. If either or both of the criteria are not met, we assess whether there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss, or additional losses beyond those already accrued, may be incurred. If there is a reasonable possibility that a material loss (or additional material loss in excess of any existing accrual) may be incurred, we disclose an estimate of the amount of loss or range of losses, either individually or in the aggregate, as appropriate, if such an estimate can be made, or disclose that an estimate of loss cannot be made. An unfavorable outcome in any legal matter, if material, could have an adverse effect on our operations, financial position, liquidity and results of operations.
	On January 24, 2011, Yardi Systems, Inc. filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California against RealPage, Inc. and DC Consulting, Inc. (the “Yardi Lawsuit”). We answered and filed counterclaims against Yardi, and on July 1, 2012, the Company and Yardi entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) resolving all outstanding litigation between the parties. The Settlement Agreement also includes a license of certain Yardi intellectual property to the Company and a license of certain of our intellectual property to Yardi.
	In connection with the Yardi Lawsuit, the Company made claims for reimbursement against each of its primary and excess layer general liability and errors and omissions liability insurance carriers. Each of our primary and excess layer errors and omissions liability insurance carriers other than Homeland Insurance of New York (“Homeland”) reimbursed the Company up to each of its policy limits. On July 19, 2012, we became aware of assertions by one of our primary layer errors and omissions insurance carriers, Ace European Group, Ltd. d/b/a Ace European Group, Barbican Syndicate 1995 at Lloyds (“Ace”), that Ace no longer considered the previously reimbursed $5.0 million payment covered under such policy, and that Ace demanded reimbursement of the $5.0 million payment that it had previously reimbursed to us. On August 12, 2012, our first excess layer errors and omissions insurance carrier, Axis Surplus Insurance Company (“Axis”), informed us that if Ace’s policy is deemed void, then Axis’ first excess layer policy was void on the same basis which would result in the Company’s obligation to reimburse to Axis $5.0 million in payments that Axis had previously reimbursed to us. The Company disputed these assertions by these carriers. Accordingly, on August 14, 2012, the Company filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas against Ace and Axis (the “Ace Lawsuit”) seeking a declaration by the court that Ace and Axis have no right to, and no lawful reason to demand reimbursement of, the amounts paid to the Company’s counsel in connection with the Yardi Lawsuit. On February 25, 2014, RealPage and Axis entered into a confidential settlement and mutual release of claims, as a result of which Axis was dismissed from the Ace Lawsuit. On March 11, 2014, Ace filed its answer, affirmative defenses and counterclaims. On April 1, 2014, RealPage and Ace entered into a confidential settlement agreement and mutual release of claims and on April 7, 2014, the court entered an order granting the joint motion to dismiss all claims and demands asserted in the lawsuit. We expensed $4.7 million, inclusive of the settlements and other related costs in the first quarter of 2014.
	We are involved in other litigation matters not listed above but we believe that any reasonably possible adverse outcome of these matters would not be material either individually or in the aggregate at this time. Our view of the matters not listed may change in the future as the litigation and events related thereto unfold.

	In connection with our payment processing services, we collect tenant funds and subsequently remit these tenant funds to our customers after varying holding periods. These funds are settled through our Originating Depository Financial Institution (“ODFI”) custodial accounts at major banks. The ODFI custodial account balances were $83.7 million and $70.1 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The ODFI custodial account balances are included in our consolidated balance sheets as restricted cash. The corresponding liability for these custodial balances is reflected as customer deposits. In connection with the timing of our payment processing services, we are exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by other parties, such as returned checks. We utilize credit analysis and other controls to manage the credit risk exposure. We have not experienced any credit losses to date. Any expected losses are included in our accounts receivable allowances on our consolidated balance sheet.
	The ODFI custodial accounts are in the name of, RealPage Payment Processing Services, Inc. (“RPPS”), a bankruptcy-remote, special-purpose entity, that is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. We provide processing and administrative services to RPPS through a services agreement.
	The obligations of RPPS under the ODFI custodial account agreement are guaranteed by us.
	In connection with our renter insurance products, we collect premiums from policy holders and subsequently remit the premium, net of our commission, to the underwriter. We maintain separate accounts for these transactions. We had $1.7 million and $1.5 million in restricted cash for the periods ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $1.7 million and $1.5 million in customer deposits related to these insurance products for periods ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We had $0.1 million and $0.4 million in restricted cash and 0.1 million and $0.4 million in customer deposits relating to our utility management solution at December 31, 2014 and 2013.

Net (Loss) Income Per Share	Net (Loss) Income Per Share
	Basic net (loss) income per share was computed by dividing the net (loss) income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net (loss) income per share was computed by using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, including potential dilutive shares of common stock assuming the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and restricted stock using the treasury stock method. Weighted average shares from common share equivalents in the amount of 1,273,889, 1,058,334 and 644,299 shares were excluded from the dilutive shares outstanding because their effect was anti-dilutive for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively.

	Our management periodically evaluates the realizability of the deferred tax assets and, if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets are realizable, adjusts the valuation allowance accordingly. During 2013, we were able to conclude that given our performance, the realization of our deferred tax assets was more likely than not and accordingly reversed valuation allowances of approximately $9.2 million and recorded the reduction in valuation allowances as a tax benefit for the period. The determination of the level of valuation allowance at December 31, 2014 is based on an estimated forecast of future taxable income which includes many judgments and assumptions. Accordingly, it is at least reasonably possible that future changes in one or more assumptions may lead to a change in judgment regarding the level of valuation allowance required in future periods
	The acquisition of the stock of Kigo, Inc. resulted in an additional net deferred tax liability of $0.5 million. This net liability includes a deferred tax liability of $1.4 million related to intangibles that are not subject to amortization for tax purposes and a deferred tax asset of $1.0 million related to net operating loss carryforwards.
	The acquisition of the stock of RentSentinel resulted in an additional net deferred tax asset of $0.2 million. This net asset includes a deferred tax liability of $1.8 million related to intangibles that are not subject to amortization for tax purposes, a deferred tax asset of $2.1 million related to net operating loss carryforwards and other miscellaneous deferred tax liabilities of $0.1 million.
	The acquisition of the stock of My Building resulted in an additional net deferred tax liability of $0.8 million. This net liability includes a deferred tax liability of $1.2 million related to intangibles that are not subject to amortization for tax purposes, a deferred tax asset of $0.3 million related to net operating loss carryforwards and other miscellaneous deferred tax assets of $0.1 million.
	We have not recognized deferred tax assets of $129.0 million for excess tax benefits that arose directly from tax deductions related to equity compensation greater than amounts recognized for financial reporting. These excess stock compensation benefits will be credited to additional paid-in capital if realized. We use the "with-and-without" method, as described in ASC 740, for purposes of determining when excess tax benefits have been realized. In 2014, we recognized excess stock compensation benefits of $2.2 million and was recorded as additional paid-in capital and offset a portion our current tax liability.
	Our largest deferred tax assets are our federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of $183.8 million and $7.3 million respectively. The federal net operating losses will begin to expire in 2020 and the state net operating losses will begin to expire in 2015. Of the total net operating loss carryforwards, approximately $129.2 million is attributable to deductions originating from the exercise of non-qualified employee stock options, the benefit of which will be credited to paid-in capital and the related deferred tax asset when realized.
	Net operating losses generated by us are not currently subject to the carryforward limitation in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 382 limitation”); however, $23.9 million of net operating losses generated by subsidiaries prior to their acquisition by us are subject to the Section 382 limitation. The limitation on these pre-acquisition net operating loss carryforwards will fully expire in 2031. A cumulative change in ownership among material shareholders, as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, during a three-year period may limit utilization of the federal net operating loss carryforwards.
	Our subsidiary in Hyderabad, India benefited from a tax holiday granted under the Software Technology Parks of India program upon commencement of business operations in 2008 through March 31, 2011. During this holiday period we were required to pay a minimum alternative tax which was available to reduce our post-holiday tax liability. Effective July 8, 2013, this subsidiary benefits from a tax holiday under the Special Economic Zone program. This benefit applies to a portion of our operations in this location. The expiration of this tax holiday will increase our effective income tax rate.
	Our subsidiary in Manila, Philippines currently benefits from income tax holiday incentives in the Philippines pursuant to the registrations with the Philippine Economic Zone Authority, or PEZA. Under such PEZA registrations, the income tax holiday of our PEZA-registered project in the Philippines expires in 2015. The expiration of this tax holiday will increase our effective income tax rate.
	No provision has been made for U.S federal and state income taxes on the undistributed earnings of approximately $3.5 million relating to our foreign subsidiaries as such earnings are expected to be reinvested and are considered permanent in duration. If these earnings were ultimately distributed to the U.S. in the form of dividends or otherwise, or if the shares of the subsidiaries were sold or transferred, we would likely be subject to additional U.S. income taxes, net of the impact of any available foreign tax credits. It is not practicable to estimate the additional income taxes related to permanently reinvested earnings in the subsidiaries.
Uncertain Tax Positions
At December 31, 2014 and 2013, we had no unrecognized tax benefits. Our policy is to include interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense, and as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, there were no accrued interest and penalties.
We file consolidated and separate tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and five foreign jurisdictions. We are no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for years before 2011 and are no longer subject to state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2010. However, net operating losses from all years continue to be subject to examinations and adjustments for at least three years following the year in which the attributes are used. We are not currently under audit for federal, state or any foreign jurisdictions.
The Company plans to file amended 2013 and 2012 tax returns for selected states to correct certain items that were improperly deducted as detected by the Company subsequent to the initial filings. The primary effect of the amended returns will not result in a current tax liability and will reduce the Company’s NOL deferred tax asset by approximately $1.0 million. The Company’s deferred tax balances presented above have been adjusted for the effects of the planned amended returns.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements
	The Company records certain financial liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company determines fair values based on the price it would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability.
	The prescribed fair value hierarchy and related valuation methodologies are as follows:
	Level 1	—	Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
	Level 2	—	Inputs are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable and market-corroborated inputs which are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.
	Level 3	—	Inputs are derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or value drivers are unobservable.
	The categorization of an asset or liability within the fair value hierarchy is based on the inputs described above and does not necessarily correspond to the Company’s perceived risk of that asset or liability. Moreover, the methods used by the Company may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, although the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments and non-financial assets and liabilities could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.
	Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
	Contingent consideration obligations: The fair value of contingent consideration obligations is estimated using a probability weighted discount model on the achievement of the conditions upon which the contingent obligation is dependent. The probability of achieving the specified conditions is assessed by applying a Monte Carlo weighted-average model. Inputs into the valuation model include a discount rate specific to the acquired entity, a measure of the estimated volatility and the risk free rate of return. There were no changes in our valuation methodology during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.
	Significant unobservable inputs used in the contingent consideration fair value measurements included the following at December 31:
			2014		2013
	Discount rates		22.5 - 64.0%		23.3 - 27.2%
	Volatility rates		45.0 - 48.0%		58.00%
	Risk free rate of return		0.1% - 0.2%		0.10%
	In addition to the inputs described above, the fair value estimates consider the projected future operating and financial results for the factor upon which the respective contingent obligation is dependent. The fair value estimates are generally sensitive to changes in these projections. We develop the projected future operating and financial results based on analysis of historical results, market conditions and the expected impact of anticipated changes in our overall business and/or product strategies.
	The following table discloses the liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2014 and 2013:
		Fair value at December 31, 2014

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation
	The accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive (loss) income and cash flows for each of the three years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012 represent our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods then ended. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of RealPage, Inc. and our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Segment and Geographic Information	Segment and Geographic Information
	Our chief operating decision maker is our Chief Executive Officer, who reviews financial information presented on a company-wide basis. As a result, we determined that the Company has a single reporting segment and operating unit structure.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires our management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts; the useful lives of intangible assets and the recoverability or impairment of tangible and intangible asset values; fair value measurements; purchase accounting allocations and contingent consideration; revenue and deferred revenue and related reserves; stock-based compensation and our effective income tax rate and the recoverability of deferred tax assets, which are based upon our expectations of future taxable income and allowable deductions. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Cash Equivalents	Cash Equivalents
	We consider all highly liquid investments with a maturity date, when purchased, of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Concentrations of Credit Risk	Concentrations of Credit Risk
	Our cash accounts are maintained at various financial institutions and may, from time to time, exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
	Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable result from substantially all of our customers being in the multifamily rental housing market. Our customers, however, are dispersed across different geographic areas. We do not require collateral from customers. We maintain an allowance for losses based upon the expected collectability of accounts receivable. Accounts receivable are written off upon determination of non-collectability following established Company policies based on the aging from the accounts receivable invoice date.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	Financial assets and liabilities with carrying amounts approximating fair value include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities. The carrying amount of these financial assets and liabilities approximates fair value because of their short maturities. The carrying amount of our other long-term liabilities approximates their fair value.
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements
	We measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value pursuant to a fair value hierarchy based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value that are either observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources while unobservable inputs reflect a reporting entity’s pricing based upon its own market assumptions. See additional discussion of our fair value measurements at Footnote 14.
Accounts Receivable	Accounts Receivable
	For several of our solutions, we invoice customers prior to the period in which service is provided. Accounts receivable represent trade receivables from customers when we have invoiced for software solutions and/or services and we have not yet received payment. We present accounts receivable net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of customers to make required payments, or the customer canceling prior to the service being rendered. As a result, a portion of our allowance is for services not yet rendered and, therefore, is classified as an offset to deferred revenue, which does not have an effect on the statement of operations. In evaluating the sufficiency of the allowance for doubtful accounts we consider the current financial condition of the customer, the specific details of the customer account, the age of the outstanding balance, the current economic environment and historical credit trends. Any change in the assumptions used in analyzing a specific account receivable might result in an additional allowance for doubtful accounts being recognized in the period in which the change occurs. For certain transactions, we have met the requirements to recognize income in advance of physically invoicing the customer. In these instances, we record unbilled receivables for the amount that will be due from the customer upon invoicing.
Property, Equipment and Software	Property, Equipment and Software
	Property, equipment and software are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization, which are computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
	Leasehold improvements	1-10 years
	Data processing and communications equipment	1-10 years
	Furniture, fixtures and other equipment	1- 5 years
	Software	1- 5 years
	Software includes purchased software and internally developed software. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful lives of the assets. Gains and losses from asset disposals are classified as general and administrative expenses in our statement of operations.
Business Combinations	Business Combinations
	When we acquire businesses, we allocate the total consideration paid to the fair value of the tangible assets, liabilities and identifiable intangible assets acquired. Any residual purchase consideration is recorded as goodwill. The allocation of the purchase price requires our management to make significant estimates in determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, in particular with respect to identified intangible assets. These estimates are based on the application of valuation models using historical experience and information obtained from the management of the acquired companies. These estimates can include, but are not limited to, the cash flows that an asset is expected to generate in the future, the appropriate weighted-average cost of capital and the cost savings expected to be derived from acquiring an asset. These estimates are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. In addition, unanticipated events and circumstances may occur which may affect the accuracy or validity of these estimates. We include the fair value of contingent consideration to be paid within the total consideration allocated to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. This requires us to make estimates regarding the fair value of the amounts to be paid. Additionally, we, at times, provide for the payment of additional cash consideration to the extent certain targets are achieved in the future. The fair value of this contingent consideration is based on significant estimates and is initially recorded as purchase price. To the extent the fair value changes prior to distribution, these changes are reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. We expense acquisition-related costs as incurred rather than including as a component of purchase price.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
	We perform an impairment review of long-lived assets held and used whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors we consider important that could trigger an impairment review include, but are not limited to, significant under-performance relative to projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of our use of the acquired assets or our overall business and/or product strategies. When we determine that the carrying value of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of these indicators, we determine the recoverability by comparing the carrying amount of the asset or asset group to net future undiscounted cash flows that the asset or assets are expected to generate. We would then recognize an impairment charge equal to the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the asset or assets.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets with Indefinite Lives	Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets with Indefinite Lives
	We test goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment separately on an annual basis in the fourth quarter of each year. Additionally, we will test goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives in the interim if events and circumstances indicate that goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives may be impaired. The events and circumstances that we consider include, but are not limited to, significant under-performance relative to projected future operating results and significant changes in our overall business and/or product strategies.
	If an event or circumstance occurs that would cause us to revise our estimates and assumptions used in analyzing the value of our goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives, the revision could result in a non-cash impairment charge that could have a material impact on our financial results. We evaluate impairment of goodwill by first performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If it is concluded that this is the case, it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. The first step involves a comparison of the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step involves a comparison of the implied fair value and carrying amount of the goodwill of that reporting unit to determine the impairment charge, if any.
	We quantitatively evaluate other intangible assets with indefinite lives by estimating the fair value of those assets based on estimated future earnings derived from the assets using the income approach model. For those intangible assets with indefinite lives that have been determined to be inseparable due to their interchangeable use, we have grouped these assets into single units of accounting for purposes of testing for impairment. If the carrying amount of the other intangible assets with indefinite lives exceeds the fair value, we would recognize an impairment loss equal to the excess of carrying value over fair value.
Intangible Assets	Intangible Assets
	Intangible assets consist of acquired developed product technologies, acquired customer relationships, vendor relationships and trade names. We record intangible assets at fair value and amortize those with finite lives over the shorter of the contractual life or the estimated useful life. We estimate the useful lives of acquired developed product technologies and customer relationships based on factors that include the planned use of each developed product technology and the expected pattern of future cash flows to be derived from each developed product technology and existing customer relationships. Estimated useful lives for finite-lived intangible assets consist of the following:
	Developed technologies	3 years
	Customer relationships	1-10 years
	Vendor relationships	7 years
	We include amortization of acquired developed product technologies in cost of revenue, amortization of acquired customer relationships in sales and marketing expenses and amortization of vendor relationships and non-competition agreements in general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of operations.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes
	Income taxes are provided based on the liability method, which results in income tax assets and liabilities arising from temporary differences. Temporary differences are differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years. The liability method requires the effect of tax rate changes on current and accumulated deferred income taxes to be reflected in the period in which the rate change was enacted. The liability method also requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance unless it is more likely than not that the assets will be realized.
	We may recognize a tax benefit from uncertain tax positions only if it is at least more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement with the taxing authorities. There were no identified tax benefits that were considered uncertain positions at December 31, 2014 and 2013.
	We establish valuation allowances when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. We evaluate the need for, and the adequacy of, valuation allowances based on the expected realization of our deferred tax assets. The factors used to assess the likelihood of realization include historical earnings, our latest forecast of taxable income and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize the net deferred tax assets.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition
	We derive our revenue from three primary sources: our on demand software solutions, our on premise software solutions and professional and other services. We commence revenue recognition when all of the following conditions are met:
	•	there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement;
	•	the solution and/or service has been provided to the customer;
	•	the collection of the fees is probable; and
	•	the amount of fees to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable.
	If the fees are not fixed or determinable, we recognize revenues when these criteria are met, which could be as payments become due from customers, or when amounts owed are collected. Accordingly, this may materially affect the timing of our revenue recognition and results of operations.
	For multi-element arrangements that include multiple software solutions and/or services, we allocate arrangement consideration to all deliverables that have stand-alone value based on their relative selling prices. In such circumstances, we utilize the following hierarchy to determine the selling price to be used for allocating revenue to deliverables as follows:
	•	Vendor specific objective evidence ("VSOE"), if available. The price at which we sell the element in a separate stand-alone transaction;
	•	Third-party evidence of selling price ("TPE"), if VSOE of selling price is not available. Evidence from us or other companies of the value of a largely interchangeable element in a transaction; and
	•	Estimated selling price ("ESP"), if neither VSOE nor TPE of selling price is available. Our best estimate of the stand-alone selling price of an element in a transaction.
	Our process for determining ESP for deliverables without VSOE or TPE considers multiple factors that may vary depending upon the unique facts and circumstances related to each deliverable. Key factors primarily considered in developing ESP include prices charged by us for similar offerings when sold separately, pricing policies and approvals from standard pricing and other business objectives.
	From time to time, we sell on demand software solutions with professional services. In such cases, as each element has stand-alone value, we allocate arrangement consideration based on our ESP of the on demand software solution and VSOE of the selling price of the professional services.
	Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are presented on a net basis.
	On Demand Revenue
	Our on demand revenue consists of license and subscription fees, transaction fees related to certain of our software-enabled value-added services and commissions derived from us selling certain risk mitigation services.
	License and subscription fees are comprised of a charge billed at the initial order date and monthly or annual subscription fees for accessing our on demand software solutions. The license fee billed at the initial order date is recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the longer of the contractual term or the period in which the customer is expected to benefit, which we consider to be three years. Recognition starts once the product has been activated. Revenue from monthly and annual subscription fees is recognized on a straight-line basis over the access period.
	We recognize revenue from transaction fees derived from certain of our software-enabled value-added services as the related services are performed.
	As part of our risk mitigation services to the rental housing industry, we act as an insurance agent and derive commission revenue from the sale of insurance products to individuals. The commissions are based upon a percentage of the premium that the insurance company charges to the policyholder and are subject to forfeiture in instances where a policyholder cancels prior to the end of the policy. If the policy is cancelled, our commissions are forfeited as a percent of the unearned premium. As a result, we recognize the commissions related to these services ratably over the policy term as the associated premiums are earned. Our contract with our underwriting partner provides for contingent commissions to be paid to us in accordance with the agreement. This agreement provides for a calculation that considers, on the policies sold by us, earned premiums less i) earned agent commissions; ii) a percent of premium retained by our underwriting partner; iii) incurred losses and iv) profit retained by our underwriting partner during the time period. Our estimate of contingent commission revenue considers historical loss experience on the policies sold by us.
	On Premise Revenue
	Revenue from our on premise software solutions is comprised of an annual term license, which includes maintenance and support. Customers can renew their annual term license for additional one-year terms at renewal price levels. We recognize the annual term license on a straight-line basis over the contract term.
	In addition, we have arrangements that include perpetual licenses with maintenance and other services to be provided over a fixed term. We allocate and defer revenue equivalent to the VSOE of fair value for the undelivered elements and recognize the difference between the total arrangement fee and the amount deferred for the undelivered elements as revenue. We have determined that we do not have VSOE of fair value for our customer support and professional services in these specific arrangements. As a result, the elements within our multiple-element sales agreements do not qualify for treatment as separate units of accounting. Accordingly, we account for fees received under multiple-element arrangements with customer support or other professional services as a single unit of accounting and recognize the entire arrangement ratably over the longer of the customer support period or the period during which professional services are rendered.
	Professional and Other Revenue
	Professional and other revenue is recognized as the services are rendered for time and material contracts. Training revenues are recognized after the services are performed.
Deferred Revenue	Deferred Revenue
	Deferred revenue primarily consists of billings or payments received in advance of revenue recognition from our subscription service described above and is recognized as the revenue recognition criteria are met. For several of our solutions, we invoice our customers in annual, monthly or quarterly installments in advance of the commencement of the service period. Accordingly, the deferred revenue balance does not represent the total contract value of annual subscription agreements.
Cost of Revenue	Cost of Revenue
	Cost of revenue consists primarily of salaries and related personnel expenses of our operations and support personnel, including training and implementation services, expenses related to the operation of our data center, fees paid to third-party providers, allocations of facilities overhead costs and depreciation, amortization of acquired technologies and amortization of capitalized software.
Customer Acquisition Costs	Customer Acquisition Costs
	The costs of obtaining new customers are expensed as incurred.
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation
	We record stock-based compensation expense for options granted to employees based on the estimated fair value for the awards. We estimate the fair value of time-based vesting awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the date of grant and the associated expense is recognized over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period, on a straight-line basis.
	The fair value of market-based vesting awards is estimated using a discrete model based on multiple stock price-paths developed through the use of Monte Carlo simulation. Expense associated with market-based awards is recognized over the requisite service period on a straight-line basis. We estimate the requisite service period based on the median of the distribution of share price-paths on which the market condition is satisfied.
	At each stock option grant date, we utilize peer group data to calculate our expected volatility. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility rates of publicly traded peers combined with our historical volatility rates. Expected life is computed using the mid-point between the vesting period and contractual life of the options granted. The risk-free rate is based on the treasury yield rate with a maturity corresponding to the expected option life assumed at the grant date. Forfeiture rates are estimated using historical and expected future trends.
	Changes to the assumptions underlying the above models may have a significant impact on the underlying value of the stock options, which could have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
	We have granted stock options at exercise prices believed to be equal to the fair market value of our common stock, as of the grant date. The fair value of our time-based restricted stock awards is based on the closing price on the date of grant.
Capitalized Product Development Costs	Capitalized Product Development Costs
	We capitalize specific product development costs, including costs to develop software products or the software components of our solutions to be marketed to external users, as well as software programs to be used solely to meet our internal needs. The costs incurred in the preliminary stages of development related to research, project planning, training, maintenance and general and administrative activities, and overhead costs are expensed as incurred. The costs of relatively minor upgrades and enhancements to the software are also expensed as incurred. Once an application has reached the development stage, internal and external costs incurred in the performance of application development stage activities, including costs of materials, services and payroll and payroll-related costs for employees, are capitalized, if direct and incremental, until the software is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Capitalization ceases upon completion of all substantial testing. We also capitalize costs related to specific upgrades and enhancements when it is probable the expenditures will result in additional functionality. Capitalized costs are recorded as part of property and equipment. Internal use software is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life, generally three to five years
Advertising Expenses	Advertising Expenses
	Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $15.1 million, $11.4 million and $10.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards	Recently Issued Accounting Standards
	In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This new standard will replace all current GAAP guidance on this topic and eliminate all industry-specific guidance. The new revenue recognition standard provides a unified model to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance will be effective for us beginning January 1, 2017 and at that time, can be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. We have not yet selected a transition method nor have we determined the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting.
