Pay vs Performance [Table Text Block] | The following table shows the total compensation for our NEOs for the past three fiscal years as set forth in the Summary Compensation Table, the compensation actually paid to our CEO and, on an average basis, to our other NEOs (in each case as defined by Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K), our total shareholder return (“TSR”), the TSRs of the NASDAQ Computer Index over the same period, our net income, and the most important financial performance measure for compensatory purposes, our stock price. All amounts other than per share amounts are presented in whole dollars.

Adjustment To PEO Compensation, Footnote [Text Block] | The following table is a reconciliation of amounts presented in the Summary Compensation Table and Compensation Actually Paid in the preceding table. SEC rules require certain adjustments to be made to the Summary Compensation Table totals to determine compensation actually paid. Compensation actually paid does not necessarily represent cash or equity value transferred to the PEO or applicable NEO without restriction but rather is a value calculated under applicable SEC rules. In general, compensation actually paid is calculated as Summary Compensation Table total compensation adjusted to reflect the fair market value of equity awards as of December 31 of the applicable year or, if earlier, the vesting date. All amounts presented are in whole dollars.
