SUMMARY_OF_SIGNIFICANT_ACCOUNT

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	12 Months Ended
	Mar. 31, 2015
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	Business
	Covisint Corporation (the “Company”, “Covisint”, “we”, “our” and “us”) provides an open, developer friendly, enterprise class cloud Platform (“Platform”) enabling organizations to build solutions that quickly and securely identify, authenticate and connect users, devices, applications and information. Our Platform has been successfully operating globally on an enterprise scale for over 12 years, and is the technology behind innovative industry solutions such as Hyundai's Blue LinkTM and Cisco's Services Exchange PlatformTM.
	Basis of Presentation
	The accompanying combined and consolidated financial statements (“financial statements”) include the accounts of Covisint Corporation, a Michigan corporation, and the Covisint segment of Compuware Corporation ("Compuware" or "Parent") (combined operations are referred to as the “Company” or “Covisint”). Effective January 1, 2013, Compuware contributed substantially all of the assets and liabilities of the Covisint segment to Covisint Corporation (“January 2013 Contribution”). The financial statements reflect the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses that were directly attributable to the Company as it operated within Compuware prior to the January 2013 Contribution, and they have been derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Compuware using the historical results of operations and historical basis of assets and liabilities for the Covisint operations of Compuware. The historical financial results may not be indicative of the results that would have been achieved had Covisint operated as a separate, stand-alone entity. These financial statements, prior to the January 2013 Contribution, were prepared on a combined basis because the operations were under common control.
	The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, shareholders’ equity and the disclosure of contingencies at March 31, 2015 and 2014 and the results of operations for the years ended March 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013. While management has based their assumptions and estimates on the facts and circumstances existing at March 31, 2015, final amounts may differ from estimates.
	In September 2013, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) in which it issued and sold 7.4 million shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $10.00 per share. The Company received net proceeds of $68.4 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $5.2 million.
	Prior to the January 2013 Contribution, “group equity” was shown in lieu of shareholders' equity in the combined and consolidated financial statements. All significant transactions between Compuware and the Company were included in the combined and consolidated financial statements and were deemed settled in cash. The net effect of the settlement of these intercompany transactions is reflected in the combined and consolidated statements of cash flows as a financing activity and in the “group equity” in the combined and consolidated balance sheets. From the January 2013 Contribution to the IPO, Compuware provided Covisint with short-term, non-interest bearing operating cash advances. The net effect of these intercompany transactions is reflected in the combined and consolidated statements of cash flows as financing activity and in “due to/from Parent and affiliates” in the consolidated balance sheets.
	Prior to fiscal 2015, the financial statements included an allocation of certain corporate expenses including costs for facilities, information technology, tax, internal audit, accounting, finance, human resources, legal and executive management functions provided to the Company by Compuware. These allocations were primarily based on headcount, revenue and space occupied as a proportion of those in all Compuware operating units. Management believes the allocations are reasonable. However, the expenses allocated to the Company for these services are not necessarily indicative of the expense that would have been incurred if the Company had been a separate, independent entity and had otherwise managed these functions. Corporate expenses charged to the Company by Compuware totaled $0 million, $10.6 million and $10.8 million for the years ended March 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Through December 31, 2012, such costs and expenses were deemed to have been contributed by Compuware to Covisint in the period in which the costs were recorded. Since January 1, 2013, these expenses have been included in the net amount due to parent and affiliates.
	On October 31, 2014, Covisint ceased being a subsidiary of Compuware Corporation as a result of Compuware's distribution of its holdings of Covisint common stock to Compuware shareholders ("the October 2014 Distribution").
	Revenue Recognition
	The Company derives revenue through contracts under which it provides customers services including access to and support of the Covisint Platform (“subscription”) and services related to implementation, solution deployment and on-boarding (“services”). The arrangements do not provide customers the right to take possession of the software at any time, nor do the arrangements contain rights of return. In order for a transaction to be eligible for revenue recognition, the following revenue criteria must be met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured.
	Signed agreements and binding purchase orders are used as evidence of an arrangement. For customers where a purchase order is used as evidence of an arrangement, master terms and conditions exist that govern such arrangements. The Company assesses cash collectibility based on a number of factors including past collection history with the customer. If the Company determines that collectibility is not reasonably assured, the Company defers the revenue until collectibility becomes reasonably assured, generally upon receipt of cash. The Company assesses whether the fee is fixed or determinable based on the payment terms associated with the transaction and whether the sales price is subject to refund or adjustment. Customers typically have the right to terminate their agreement if the Company fails to perform.
	The Company’s contracts may include a subscription fee for ongoing PaaS operations and project (services) fees. For subscription arrangements that contain multiple elements, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605, “Revenue Recognition,” the arrangement consideration is allocated based on relative selling price using the following hierarchy: vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE” which represents the price when sold separately) if available; third-party evidence if VSOE is not available; or estimated selling price if neither VSOE nor third-party evidence is available. The Company is currently unable to establish VSOE or third-party evidence of selling price for its deliverables. Therefore, the Company determines its best estimate of selling price by evaluating renewal amounts included in a contract, if any, and estimated costs to deliver each element.
	The subscription fees are recognized ratably over the applicable service period. Revenue recognition commences on the later of the start date specified in the subscription arrangement, the “launch date” of the customers’ access to the Company’s production environment or when all of the revenue recognition criteria have been met. The Company considers delivery to have occurred on the “launch date”, which is the point in time that a customer is provided access to use the Company’s Platform.
	For those projects that do not currently have stand-alone value, the revenue is deferred and recognized over the longer of the committed term of the subscription agreement (generally one to five years) or the expected period over which the customer will receive benefit (generally five years). Services that have stand-alone value are recognized as delivered generally using a proportional performance methodology based on dependable estimates of hours incurred and expected hours to complete since these services are primarily performed on a fixed fee basis. Hours or costs incurred represent a reasonable surrogate for output measures of contract performance, including the presentation of deliverables to the client; therefore, hours or costs incurred are used as the basis for revenue recognition. If it is determined that costs will exceed revenue, the expected loss is recorded at the time the loss becomes apparent.
	Deferred Costs
	Deferred costs consist of the incremental direct personnel and outside contractor costs incurred in delivering implementation and solutions deployment services that do not have stand-alone value. Revenue from these services, as described above, is deferred and recognized over the longer of the committed term of the subscription agreement or the expected period over which the customer will receive benefit. Therefore, the costs are recognized over the same period as the associated revenue. In the event a customer contract with deferred cost is terminated, the Company recognizes the remainder of the amount recorded in deferred cost attributable to the terminated contract.
	Sales commission costs that directly relate to revenue transactions that are deferred are recorded as “prepaid expenses and other current assets” or non-current “other assets” as applicable in the condensed and consolidated balance sheets and recognized as “sales and marketing” expenses in the financial statements over the revenue recognition period of the related transaction.
	Deferred Revenue
	Deferred revenue consists of the billed but unearned portion of existing contracts for subscription and services provided and is recognized as services are delivered or over the expected period during which the customer will receive benefit. The Company generally invoices its customers’ subscription fees in annual, quarterly or monthly installments. Contractual time periods often exceed the invoicing period and accordingly, the deferred revenue balance does not represent the total contract value of committed subscription agreements. The portion of deferred revenue that the Company anticipates will be recognized during the succeeding 12-month period is recorded as current deferred revenue and the remaining portion is recorded as non-current deferred revenue. The Company has generally received payment for the services for which the revenue has been deferred. Deferred revenue also includes contracts for which we have a contractually executed agreement and have invoiced the customer under the terms of the executed agreement but have not met all the revenue recognition criteria and/or have concluded that revenue should be recognized on cash basis, as collectibility of the invoiced amounts is not reasonably assured. In the event a customer contract with deferred revenue is terminated, the Company recognizes the remainder of the amount recorded in deferred revenue attributable to the terminated contract.
	Collection and Remittance of Taxes
	The Company records the collection of taxes from customers and the remittance of these taxes to governmental authorities on a net basis in its financial statements.
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	The Company considers all investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
	Cost of Revenue
	Consists of compensation and related expenses for infrastructure and operations staff, payments to outside service providers, data center costs related to hosting the Company’s software and amortization and impairment of capitalized software.
	Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
	The Company considers historical loss experience, including the need to adjust for current conditions, the aging of outstanding accounts receivable and information available related to specific customers when estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance is reviewed and adjusted based on the Company’s best estimates of collectibility.
	The following table summarizes the allowance for doubtful accounts and changes to the allowance during the years ended March 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands):
	Allowance for Doubtful Accounts:	Balance at Beginning of Period		Charged to Income		Accounts Charged Against the Allowance	Balance at End of Period
	Year ended March 31, 2015	$164		$7		$101	$70
	Year ended March 31, 2014	$58		$108		$2	$164
	Year ended March 31, 2013	$97		$0		$39	$58
	Property and Equipment
	Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which are generally estimated to be three to ten years for furniture and fixtures, computer equipment and software. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the term of the lease.
	Capitalized Software
	Includes the costs of purchased and internally developed software products capitalized in accordance with ASC 350-40, “Internal Use Software” and software technology purchased through acquisitions and is stated at unamortized cost. Net purchased software included in capitalized software was $0.2 million and $0.6 million as of March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
	Capitalized and purchased software costs are amortized on a straight line basis over the expected useful life of the software, which is generally five years. Amortization begins when the software technology is ready for its intended use. Amortization expense was $6.8 million, $6.8 million and $4.9 million for the years ended March 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Amortization expenses are included in “cost of revenue” in the financial statements.
	For development costs related to the Company’s PaaS offering, the Company follows the guidance set forth in ASC 350-40 which requires companies to capitalize qualifying computer software development costs, which are incurred during the application development stage. Costs related to preliminary project activities and post-implementation activities are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs include primarily the cost of programming personnel and amounted to $13.9 million, $18.1 million and $17.4 million for the years ended March 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, of which $3.5 million, $5.7 million and $13.6 million respectively was capitalized as internally-developed software technology.
	Capitalized research and development and capitalized software costs are reviewed for impairment when events and circumstances indicate such asset may be impaired. If estimated future undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover the carrying value of the capitalized research and development, an impairment charge is recorded in the amount by which the present value of future cash flows is less than the carrying value of these assets. Cost of revenue expense for the year ended March 31, 2015 included an impairment charge of $8.3 million related to software costs for healthcare specific projects resulting from the Company's decision in fiscal 2015 to exit the healthcare application business (see Note 3 for further information).
	Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
	Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment annually at March 31 or more frequently if management believes indicators of impairment exist. With respect to goodwill, the carrying value of the Company's single reporting unit is compared to its fair value, and when the carrying value exceeds the fair value, the carrying value of the goodwill is reduced to implied fair value. The impairment test involves a two-step process with Step 1 comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its aggregate carrying value, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, the Company performs Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test to determine the amount of impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. All operations of the Company are in a single reporting unit that was evaluated in the annual impairment assessment.
	The Company's goodwill balance as of March 31, 2015 was $25.4 million. The Company concluded there was no impairment of goodwill during the year ended March 31, 2015.
	Sales and marketing expenses for the year ended March 31, 2015, included a $0.5 million impairment of customer relationship intangibles related to DocSite, as the intangibles specifically related to healthcare customer relationships.
	Income Taxes
	The Covisint business was operated as a division of Compuware prior to the January 2013 Contribution. As a member of Compuware’s consolidated group (“Consolidated Group”), the Company’s operations were included in the Consolidated Group for tax periods or portions thereof commencing after the January 2013 Contribution through the October 2014 Distribution.
	Income taxes are presented herein on a separate return basis even though the Company’s results of operations have historically been included in the consolidated, combined, unitary or separate income tax returns of Compuware until the October 2014 Distribution. The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities and net operating losses and tax credits using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date.
	The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent it believes these assets will more likely than not be realized. These deferred tax assets are subject to periodic assessments as to recoverability. If it is determined that it is more likely than not that the benefits will not be realized, valuation allowances are recorded which would increase the provision for income taxes. In making such determinations, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations.
	Certain net operating losses ("NOL") and tax credits generated by the Company prior to the date of our spin-off from Compuware have been utilized by our former parent, Compuware, and are not available to reduce future taxable income of Covisint. Therefore, the deferred tax assets presented above do not include the NOL or tax credits generated by Covisint and utilized by Compuware. In as much as Compuware has paid cash for these NOL and tax credits, the Company has already realized the economic benefit. Covisint has received the economic benefit of these NOL and tax credits through a reduction of the due to parent and affiliates (for the amount of benefit realized by Compuware) which is reported as an equity contribution from Compuware to Covisint in the accompanying balance sheets and a cash flow from financing activities in the accompany cash flow statements. Following the Company's spin-off from Compuware on October 31, 2014, Compuware will no longer receive the tax benefit of these NOLs and tax credits, and, therefore, will no longer compensate the Company for these items.
	Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are included in the income tax expense.
	Foreign Currency Translation
	The Company’s foreign operations use their respective local currency as their functional currency. Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are minimal and are generally short term in nature. Such assets and liabilities in the financial statements have been translated at the rate of exchange at the respective balance sheet dates, and revenues and expenses have been translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the period the transactions occurred. Translation adjustments have been excluded from the results of operations.
	Stock-Based Compensation
	Stock award compensation expense is recognized, net of an estimated forfeiture rate, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, for awards that vest strictly based on time, and on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the individual tranches of the award for awards with performance conditions.
	Compuware Corporation Stock Compensation Awards
	Certain Covisint employees have been granted stock options to purchase Compuware common stock, and under the agreements between the Company and Compuware, Covisint records the compensation expense relating to these stock options to purchase Compuware common stock. Compuware calculates the fair value of its stock option awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which incorporates various assumptions including volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rates and dividend yields. The expected volatility assumption is based on historical volatility of Compuware’s common stock over the most recent period commensurate with the expected life of the stock option granted. Compuware uses historical volatility because management believes such volatility is representative of prospective trends. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates appropriate for the expected life of the stock option awarded.
	The following is the average fair value per share of Compuware stock compensation awards estimated on the date of grant and the assumptions used for each option granted to Compuware employees, including those providing services to Covisint, during the years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. No grants of Compuware stock compensation were awarded to Covisint employees for the year ended March 31, 2015.
		YEAR ENDED MARCH 31,
			2014		2013
	Expected volatility		39.11%		40.97%
	Risk-free interest rate		1.67%		0.96%
	Expected lives at date of grant (in years)		6.2		6.3
	Weighted average fair value of the options granted		$2.63		$4.08
Dividend Yield Assumption (1)		4.46%		0.00%
(1) In January 2013, the Compuware Board of Directors announced its intention to begin paying cash dividends totaling $0.50 per share annually, to be paid quarterly beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. Prior to that, Compuware had never paid a dividend or announced any intentions to pay a dividend.
Covisint Corporation Stock Compensation Awards
Covisint calculates the fair value of stock option awards granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which incorporates various assumptions including volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rates and dividend yields. Despite the Company's IPO in September 2013, the Company does not yet have historical stock price data covering a historical period commensurate with the expected life of stock options granted. Therefore, the expected volatility assumption is based on an average of the historical volatility of comparable companies (“peer group companies”). The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates appropriate for the expected life of the stock option awarded. The expected life of the stock option is based on management’s best estimates considering the terms of the options granted. Dividend yields have not been a factor in determining fair value of stock options granted as Covisint has never issued cash dividends and does not anticipate issuing cash dividends in the future.
Prior to the IPO, Covisint stock was not traded on a stock exchange and thus the exercise price of Covisint stock options at the date of grant was determined by calculating the estimated fair market value of the Company divided by the total shares outstanding, including outstanding stock options that had not yet vested. The estimated fair market value of the Company was measured using an equal combination of discounted cash flow and market comparable valuations and was discounted due to a lack of marketability at the grant date. Previous valuation estimates placed a greater emphasis on the discounted cash flow model. The discounted cash flow model uses significant assumptions, including projected future cash flows, a discount rate reflecting the risk inherent in future cash flows and a terminal growth rate. The key assumptions in the market comparable value analysis are the selection of peer group companies and application of these peer group companies’ data to Covisint.
Assumptions used in measuring Covisint options granted, and the weighted average fair value of options granted, in fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013 were:
	YEAR ENDED MARCH 31,
	2015		2014		2013
Expected volatility	46.12%		49.99%		53.64%
Risk-free interest rate	2.05%		1.85%		1.02%
Expected lives at date of grant (in years)	6.14		6.01		5.6
Weighted average fair value of the options granted	$1.89		$5.86		$4.47
Business Segments— The Company operates in a single reportable segment. Sales are heavily weighted toward North American automotive companies.
Significant Customers – A single customer, in the automotive industry, comprised 30 percent, 26 percent and 33 percent of total revenue during the years ended March 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The same automotive customer comprised 21 percent and 18 percent of outstanding accounts receivable as of March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. A second customer, which was a reseller to customers in the healthcare industry, comprised 6 percent, 12 percent, and 12 percent of total revenue during the years ended March 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and less than 10 percent of outstanding accounts receivables for the year ended March 31, 2015 and for all prior years.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)," a new comprehensive revenue recognition standard that will supersede all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The standard's core principle is that revenue should be recognized as goods or services are transferred to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is not permitted, although the FASB is currently considering a one year deferral of the effective date of this ASU. Entities will have the option of using either a full retrospective approach or a modified approach to adopt the guidance in the ASU. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

	Impairment Evaluation
	The Company evaluated its goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairments as of March 31, 2015 and 2014. For the year ended March 31, 2015 the company evaluated its capitalized software and other amortized intangibles for impairment and recorded an impairment of $8.3 million related to capitalized software related to healthcare specific projects and $0.5 million of impairment expense related to healthcare customer relationships. Specific to capitalized software and the customer relationships, the Company first evaluated undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset groups, and concluded that the carrying value of the assets was not recoverable from projected future undiscounted cash flows. In measuring the impairment, the Company performed a discounted cash flow analysis, and determined that the fair value of these assets was zero, and, therefore, the assets were fully impaired as of March 31, 2015. The fair value measurements were prepared using level 3 fair value inputs. There was no capitalized software or other amortized intangible asset impairment recorded during fiscal years 2014 or 2013. There was no goodwill or other indefinite-lived intangible impairments recorded during any year presented within the financial statements.

Diluted EPS assumes the issuance of common stock for all potentially dilutive equivalent shares outstanding using the treasury method. Earnings per share are presented below as if Covisint Corporation and the Covisint Operations of Compuware had been combined for all periods presented.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES
	From the January 2013 Contribution until the Covisint business was operated as a division of Compuware. As a member of the Compuware Consolidated Group, the Company’s operations were included in the Consolidated Group for tax periods or portions thereof commencing after the January 2013 Contribution. Following the October 2014 Distribution, Covisint became its own separate group for tax purposes, and will file separate stand-alone tax returns.
	Prior to the October 2014 Distribution, taxable income and/or loss generated by the Company was included in the consolidated, combined, or unitary income tax returns of Compuware. Income taxes prior to the October 2014 Distribution in the accompanying financial statements have been allocated as if the Covisint business were held in a separate corporation which filed separate income tax returns. The Company believes these assumptions underlying its allocation of income taxes on a separate return basis were reasonable. However, the amounts allocated for income taxes prior to the October 2014 Distribution in the accompanying financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the actual amount of income taxes that would have been recorded had Covisint been a separate stand-alone tax paying entity. Following the October 2014 Distribution the Company will file its own tax returns separate from Compuware.

These losses and credits are not included in the tabular presentation of deferred tax assets as they have been utilized by Compuware and will not provide future economic benefits to Covisint.

.Prior to the October 2014 Distribution, net operating losses ("NOL") and tax credits generated by the Company were substantially utilized by the Company’s former parent, Compuware, and are not available to reduce future taxable income of Covisint. Therefore, the deferred tax assets presented above do not include the NOL or tax credits generated by Covisint and utilized by Compuware before the October 2014 Distribution. In as much as Compuware has paid cash for these NOL and tax credits prior to October 31, 2014, the Company has already realized the economic benefit. Covisint has received the economic benefit of these pre-distribution NOL and tax credits through a reduction of the due to parent and affiliates (for the amount of benefit realized by Compuware) which is reported as an equity contribution from Compuware to Covisint in the accompanying balance sheets. For periods following the October 2014 Distribution, any NOL’s and tax credits generated would be available to offset future taxable income.
As a result of the Distribution from our former parent Compuware, the spinoff was deemed taxable to Compuware. Through a tax sharing agreement between Compuware and Covisint, Compuware has agreed to bear any tax costs associated with the spinoff. Also, Covisint and Compuware have agreed to make an election under §336(e) of the Internal Revenue Code that results in a step-up in the tax basis of our assets to fair market value. The actual benefit that Covisint will realize depends on multiple things, including generating taxable income over time to fully utilize deductions associated with any increased tax basis from the election. The step up in tax basis is primarily associated with goodwill that will be deducted over the 15 years for tax purposes.
ASC 740, Income Taxes, provides for the recognition of deferred tax assets only when realization is more likely than not. In assessing the valuation allowance, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including historical financial results and forecasted financial results. As a result of the Company’s analysis, it has been determined that it is more likely than not the Company will not realize the benefits of its deferred tax assets in the U.S., thus reducing the carrying value of the above deferred tax assets. The deferred tax asset "Net operating loss and other tax credit carryforwards" represents only those amounts that have been generated by Covisint following the October 2014 Distribution, and are not available to be included in the taxable results of Compuware.
These financial statements reflect the position of the Company as not permanently reinvesting any earnings in its foreign subsidiaries and recognizing all deferred tax liabilities that arise from outside basis differences in its investments in subsidiaries.
At March 31, 2015, the Company had NOL’s and tax credit carryforwards for income tax purposes of $7.9 million which expire in the tax years as follows (in thousands):
	31-Mar-15
	Balance			Expiration
U.S. federal net operating losses		$6,731		2035
U.S. state net operating losses		$1,142		2018-2035
U.S. state tax credit carryforwards	5			2028-2029
Total		$7,878
Uncertain tax positions
The amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits ("UTBs") was $0, $0.4 million and $0 as of March 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, all of which, net of federal benefit, would favorably affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized in future periods.
The following is a tabular reconciliation of the total amounts of UTBs for the years ended March 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands):

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to UTBs within the income tax expense line in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. As of March 31, 2015, no interest and penalties were accrued.
The Covisint business was operated as a division of Compuware until December 31, 2012 and, as a division, our operations were included in the tax returns filed by Compuware’s consolidated group, or Consolidated Group, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as well as in certain consolidated, combined or unitary groups that include Compuware and/or certain of its subsidiaries, or Combined Group, for taxes other than U.S. federal income taxes. Effective January 1, 2013, Compuware contributed to us substantially all of the assets and liabilities related to our business and, as a member of the Consolidated Group, our operations have been included in the Consolidated Group since that date for tax periods or portions thereof commencing after such contribution.
In connection with the January 2013 Contribution, Compuware and the Company have entered into a tax sharing agreement. Pursuant to this agreement, the Company and Compuware generally made payments to each other such that, with respect to tax returns for any taxable period in which the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries are included in the Consolidated Group or any Combined Group, the amount of taxes to be paid by the Company will be determined, subject to certain adjustments, as if the Company and each of its subsidiaries included in such Consolidated Group or Combined Group filed the Company’s own consolidated, combined, unitary or separate tax return. Each member of a consolidated group during any part of a consolidated return year is severally liable for tax on the consolidated return of such year and for any subsequently determined deficiency thereon. Similarly, in some jurisdictions, each member of a consolidated, combined or unitary group for state, local or foreign tax purposes is jointly and severally liable for the state, local or foreign tax liability of each other member of the consolidated, combined or unitary group. Accordingly, for any period in which it is included in the Consolidated Group or any Combined Group, the Company could be liable in the event that any income or other tax liability was incurred, but not discharged, by any other member of any such group even if the Company is no longer a member of such Consolidated Group or Combined Group. Compuware has paid through a reduction in the amount due to Compuware $7.2 million and $9.1 million for tax loss and credit benefits provided by the Company to the Consolidated Group for the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. For the year ended March 31, 2015, Covisint was a member of the Consolidated Group only until the October 2014 Distribution. Following the October 2014 Distribution, the tax sharing agreement benefits provided to the Company will generally and prospectively cease.
Cash paid for income taxes
Cash paid by the Company for income taxes was $28,000 and $0 for the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

	Legal Matters
	The Company is subject to legal proceedings, claims, investigations and proceedings in the ordinary course of business. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company makes a provision for a liability when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impacts of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular case.
	Beginning on May 30, 2014, two putative class actions were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company, directors and certain officers at the time of the Company's initial public offering ("IPO") alleging violation of securities laws in connection with the Company's IPO and seeking unspecified damages. On August 15, 2014, the cases were consolidated with Charles Rankin appointed lead plaintiff. On October 14, 2014, the lead plaintiff filed a consolidated class action complaint (the “Complaint”) alleging violations of Regulation S-K and Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act. The Complaint alleges, among other things that the IPO’s registration statement contained (1) untrue statements and omissions of material facts related to the Company’s projected revenues for fiscal 2014, (2) materially inaccurate statements regarding the Company’s revenue recognition policy, and (3) omissions of known trends, uncertainties and significant risk factors as required to be disclosed by Regulation S-K. The Company has filed a motion to dismiss the Complaint. We believe the Complaint is without merit, and we intend to vigorously defend it. The Company currently has no other outstanding material litigation.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]
BENEFIT PLANS	BENEFIT PLANS
	Prior to fiscal year 2014, while the Company was a majority-owned subsidiary of Compuware, certain Covisint employees were granted Compuware stock compensation awards. In accordance with the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 1.B.1, “Costs Reflected in Historical Financial Statements,” the expense for these awards is included within the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.
	Effective April 1, 2012, Compuware began providing a matching program for the 401(k). The Company matches 33 percent of employees’ 401(k) contributions up to 2 percent of eligible earnings. Matching contributions vest 100 percent when an employee attains three years of service. For the years ended March 31, 2014, and 2013, the Company expensed $0.7 million and $0.5 million, respectively, related to this program.
	Effective April 8, 2014, the Company effectively transitioned all Covisint employees from the Compuware 401(k) program to a newly established Covisint 401(k) program. All balances were transferred to the new plan. Under the new plan, the Company matches 33 percent of employees’ 401(k) contributions up to 2 percent of eligible earnings. Matching contributions vest 100 percent when an employee reaches one year of service. For the year ended March 31, 2015, the Company expensed $0.5 million related to this program.

	Compuware Stock Option Activity
	A summary of option activity for Covisint employees under Compuware’s stock-based compensation plans as of March 31, 2015, and changes during the year then ended is presented below. Due to the spin-off of Covisint from Compuware, all Compuware options held by Covisint employees had to be exercised or they would be terminated 30 days after the completion of the spin-off. All vested options were exercised. All non-vested Compuware options terminated in the third quarter of fiscal 2015.

	The vesting schedule of options has varied over the years with the following vesting terms being the most common: (1) 50 percent of shares vest on the third anniversary date and 25 percent on the fourth and fifth anniversary dates; (2) 25 percent of shares vest on each annual anniversary date over four years; or (3) 30 percent of shares vest on the first and second anniversary dates and 40 percent vest on the third anniversary date.
	All options were granted with exercise prices at or above fair market value on the date of grant and expire ten years from the date of grant. Option expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period unless the options vest more quickly than the expense would be recognized. In this case, additional expense is taken to ensure the expense is proportionate to the percent of options vested at any point in time.
	Compuware Restricted Stock Units
	Due to the spin-off of Covisint from Compuware, all non-vested Compuware restricted stock units ("RSU's") terminated on October 31, 2014. A summary of non-vested RSUs activity for Covisint employees and directors under the Compuware Long-Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP") for the year ended March 31, 2015, is presented below.

	RSUs have various vesting terms related to the purpose of the award. The most common vesting term is 25 percent of shares vesting on each annual anniversary date over four years. The awards are settled by the issuance of one common share of Compuware stock for each unit upon vesting and vesting accelerates upon death, disability or a change in control of Compuware.
	Covisint Stock-Based Compensation Plan
	In August 2009, Covisint established a 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2009 Covisint LTIP”) allowing the Board of Directors of Covisint to grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance-based cash or restricted stock unit awards and annual cash incentive awards to employees and directors of Covisint and its affiliates. The 2009 Covisint LTIP reserves 4.5 million common shares of Covisint common stock for issuance under this plan. On December 30, 2013, the Board of Directors of Covisint adopted the First Amendment to the 2009 Covisint LTIP ("Amendment"), subject to shareholder approval. The Amendment increased the number of shares of Covisint’s common stock available for issuance pursuant to stock-based awards granted under the LTIP by 3.0 million shares (increasing the number of shares available for issuance under the LTIP from 4.5 million to 7.5 million). On January 2, 2014, Compuware, as the holder of the majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock at that time, approved the Amendment to increase the shares available. The increase in shares set forth in the Amendment became effective on February 13, 2014, twenty (20) days after the date of mailing of the Company’s Schedule 14C Information Statement to the Company's public shareholders.
	As of March 31, 2015, there were 4.3 million stock options outstanding and 0.3 million RSUs outstanding from the 2009 Covisint LTIP. No options issued subsequent to the IPO contain a performance condition.
	For the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, 1.54 million options and 0.13 million options, respectively, were exercised by participants of the 2009 Covisint LTIP.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS	RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
	Up until January 31, 2014, when Compuware divested its services business, the Company utilized services staff of Compuware to provide certain services to customers and to provide additional resources for research and development activities. These costs were included in “cost of revenue” and “research and development” as applicable. Compuware provided these services substantially at cost to Covisint through March 31, 2013 and at market rates effective April 1, 2013. Many of the Compuware employees providing these services transferred to Covisint effective March 1, 2013. Charges for those services totaled $0.0 million, $1.4 million and $17.4 million for the years ended March 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
	On October 31, 2014, Covisint ceased being a subsidiary of Compuware Corporation as a result of October 2014 Distribution.
	Prior to October 31, 2014, Covisint was a member of the Compuware Consolidated Group for tax purposes. Compuware Corporation, under a tax sharing agreement, used Covisint's tax losses and paid Covisint in cash for the tax losses utilized by the Compuware Consolidated Group. For fiscal 2015, Covisint was paid by Compuware based upon estimates of the losses utilized, which are subject to a true-up based upon filing actual federal and state income tax returns.
	Certain transactions with Compuware were settled in cash and were reflected as due to or due from parent and affiliates within the condensed consolidated balance sheet, prior to Covisint's spin-off from Compuware on October 31, 2014. At March 31, 2015, the Company had a net receivable due from parent of $0.0 as compared to a net receivable of $2.8 million at March 31, 2014. The activity in the year ended March 31, 2015 was primarily comprised of Compuware’s payment of the net due from amount of approximately $2.8 million as of March 31, 2014, and additional payments from Compuware of approximately $7.6 million related to Compuware’s utilization of the Company’s tax loss and other tax attributes through the October 2014 Distribution, offset by payments from the Company to Compuware of approximately $13.9 million.

SUMMARY_OF_SIGNIFICANT_ACCOUNT1

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Mar. 31, 2015
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation
	The accompanying combined and consolidated financial statements (“financial statements”) include the accounts of Covisint Corporation, a Michigan corporation, and the Covisint segment of Compuware Corporation ("Compuware" or "Parent") (combined operations are referred to as the “Company” or “Covisint”). Effective January 1, 2013, Compuware contributed substantially all of the assets and liabilities of the Covisint segment to Covisint Corporation (“January 2013 Contribution”). The financial statements reflect the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses that were directly attributable to the Company as it operated within Compuware prior to the January 2013 Contribution, and they have been derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Compuware using the historical results of operations and historical basis of assets and liabilities for the Covisint operations of Compuware. The historical financial results may not be indicative of the results that would have been achieved had Covisint operated as a separate, stand-alone entity. These financial statements, prior to the January 2013 Contribution, were prepared on a combined basis because the operations were under common control.
	The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, shareholders’ equity and the disclosure of contingencies at March 31, 2015 and 2014 and the results of operations for the years ended March 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013. While management has based their assumptions and estimates on the facts and circumstances existing at March 31, 2015, final amounts may differ from estimates.
	On October 31, 2014, Covisint ceased being a subsidiary of Compuware Corporation as a result of Compuware's distribution of its holdings of Covisint common stock to Compuware shareholder
	Prior to the January 2013 Contribution, “group equity” was shown in lieu of shareholders' equity in the combined and consolidated financial statements. All significant transactions between Compuware and the Company were included in the combined and consolidated financial statements and were deemed settled in cash. The net effect of the settlement of these intercompany transactions is reflected in the combined and consolidated statements of cash flows as a financing activity and in the “group equity” in the combined and consolidated balance sheets. From the January 2013 Contribution to the IPO, Compuware provided Covisint with short-term, non-interest bearing operating cash advances. The net effect of these intercompany transactions is reflected in the combined and consolidated statements of cash flows as financing activity and in “due to/from Parent and affiliates” in the consolidated balance sheets.
	Prior to fiscal 2015, the financial statements included an allocation of certain corporate expenses including costs for facilities, information technology, tax, internal audit, accounting, finance, human resources, legal and executive management functions provided to the Company by Compuware. These allocations were primarily based on headcount, revenue and space occupied as a proportion of those in all Compuware operating units. Management believes the allocations are reasonable. However, the expenses allocated to the Company for these services are not necessarily indicative of the expense that would have been incurred if the Company had been a separate, independent entity and had otherwise managed these functions.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition
	The Company derives revenue through contracts under which it provides customers services including access to and support of the Covisint Platform (“subscription”) and services related to implementation, solution deployment and on-boarding (“services”). The arrangements do not provide customers the right to take possession of the software at any time, nor do the arrangements contain rights of return. In order for a transaction to be eligible for revenue recognition, the following revenue criteria must be met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured.
	Signed agreements and binding purchase orders are used as evidence of an arrangement. For customers where a purchase order is used as evidence of an arrangement, master terms and conditions exist that govern such arrangements. The Company assesses cash collectibility based on a number of factors including past collection history with the customer. If the Company determines that collectibility is not reasonably assured, the Company defers the revenue until collectibility becomes reasonably assured, generally upon receipt of cash. The Company assesses whether the fee is fixed or determinable based on the payment terms associated with the transaction and whether the sales price is subject to refund or adjustment. Customers typically have the right to terminate their agreement if the Company fails to perform.
	The Company’s contracts may include a subscription fee for ongoing PaaS operations and project (services) fees. For subscription arrangements that contain multiple elements, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605, “Revenue Recognition,” the arrangement consideration is allocated based on relative selling price using the following hierarchy: vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE” which represents the price when sold separately) if available; third-party evidence if VSOE is not available; or estimated selling price if neither VSOE nor third-party evidence is available. The Company is currently unable to establish VSOE or third-party evidence of selling price for its deliverables. Therefore, the Company determines its best estimate of selling price by evaluating renewal amounts included in a contract, if any, and estimated costs to deliver each element.
	The subscription fees are recognized ratably over the applicable service period. Revenue recognition commences on the later of the start date specified in the subscription arrangement, the “launch date” of the customers’ access to the Company’s production environment or when all of the revenue recognition criteria have been met. The Company considers delivery to have occurred on the “launch date”, which is the point in time that a customer is provided access to use the Company’s Platform.
	For those projects that do not currently have stand-alone value, the revenue is deferred and recognized over the longer of the committed term of the subscription agreement (generally one to five years) or the expected period over which the customer will receive benefit (generally five years). Services that have stand-alone value are recognized as delivered generally using a proportional performance methodology based on dependable estimates of hours incurred and expected hours to complete since these services are primarily performed on a fixed fee basis. Hours or costs incurred represent a reasonable surrogate for output measures of contract performance, including the presentation of deliverables to the client; therefore, hours or costs incurred are used as the basis for revenue recognition. If it is determined that costs will exceed revenue, the expected loss is recorded at the time the loss becomes apparent.
Deferred Costs	Deferred Costs
	Deferred costs consist of the incremental direct personnel and outside contractor costs incurred in delivering implementation and solutions deployment services that do not have stand-alone value. Revenue from these services, as described above, is deferred and recognized over the longer of the committed term of the subscription agreement or the expected period over which the customer will receive benefit. Therefore, the costs are recognized over the same period as the associated revenue. In the event a customer contract with deferred cost is terminated, the Company recognizes the remainder of the amount recorded in deferred cost attributable to the terminated contract.
	Sales commission costs that directly relate to revenue transactions that are deferred are recorded as “prepaid expenses and other current assets” or non-current “other assets” as applicable in the condensed and consolidated balance sheets and recognized as “sales and marketing” expenses in the financial statements over the revenue recognition period of the related transaction.
Deferred Revenue	Deferred Revenue
	Deferred revenue consists of the billed but unearned portion of existing contracts for subscription and services provided and is recognized as services are delivered or over the expected period during which the customer will receive benefit. The Company generally invoices its customers’ subscription fees in annual, quarterly or monthly installments. Contractual time periods often exceed the invoicing period and accordingly, the deferred revenue balance does not represent the total contract value of committed subscription agreements. The portion of deferred revenue that the Company anticipates will be recognized during the succeeding 12-month period is recorded as current deferred revenue and the remaining portion is recorded as non-current deferred revenue. The Company has generally received payment for the services for which the revenue has been deferred. Deferred revenue also includes contracts for which we have a contractually executed agreement and have invoiced the customer under the terms of the executed agreement but have not met all the revenue recognition criteria and/or have concluded that revenue should be recognized on cash basis, as collectibility of the invoiced amounts is not reasonably assured. In the event a customer contract with deferred revenue is terminated, the Company recognizes the remainder of the amount recorded in deferred revenue attributable to the terminated contract.
Collection and Remittance of Taxes	Collection and Remittance of Taxes
	The Company records the collection of taxes from customers and the remittance of these taxes to governmental authorities on a net basis in its financial statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	The Company considers all investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Cost of Revenue	Cost of Revenue
	Consists of compensation and related expenses for infrastructure and operations staff, payments to outside service providers, data center costs related to hosting the Company’s software and amortization and impairment of capitalized software.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts	Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
	The Company considers historical loss experience, including the need to adjust for current conditions, the aging of outstanding accounts receivable and information available related to specific customers when estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance is reviewed and adjusted based on the Company’s best estimates of collectibility.
Property and Equipment	Property and Equipment
	Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which are generally estimated to be three to ten years for furniture and fixtures, computer equipment and software. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the term of the lease.
Capitalized Software	Amortization expenses are included in “cost of revenue” in the financial statements.
	Capitalized Software
	Includes the costs of purchased and internally developed software products capitalized in accordance with ASC 350-40, “Internal Use Software” and software technology purchased through acquisitions and is stated at unamortized cost.
	Capitalized and purchased software costs are amortized on a straight line basis over the expected useful life of the software, which is generally five years. Amortization begins when the software technology is ready for its intended use.
Research and Development	Capitalized research and development and capitalized software costs are reviewed for impairment when events and circumstances indicate such asset may be impaired. If estimated future undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover the carrying value of the capitalized research and development, an impairment charge is recorded in the amount by which the present value of future cash flows is less than the carrying value of these assets.
	For development costs related to the Company’s PaaS offering, the Company follows the guidance set forth in ASC 350-40 which requires companies to capitalize qualifying computer software development costs, which are incurred during the application development stage. Costs related to preliminary project activities and post-implementation activities are expensed as incurred.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets	Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
	Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment annually at March 31 or more frequently if management believes indicators of impairment exist. With respect to goodwill, the carrying value of the Company's single reporting unit is compared to its fair value, and when the carrying value exceeds the fair value, the carrying value of the goodwill is reduced to implied fair value. The impairment test involves a two-step process with Step 1 comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its aggregate carrying value, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, the Company performs Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test to determine the amount of impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. All operations of the Company are in a single reporting unit that was evaluated in the annual impairment assessment.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes
	The Covisint business was operated as a division of Compuware prior to the January 2013 Contribution. As a member of Compuware’s consolidated group (“Consolidated Group”), the Company’s operations were included in the Consolidated Group for tax periods or portions thereof commencing after the January 2013 Contribution through the October 2014 Distribution.
	Income taxes are presented herein on a separate return basis even though the Company’s results of operations have historically been included in the consolidated, combined, unitary or separate income tax returns of Compuware until the October 2014 Distribution. The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities and net operating losses and tax credits using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date.
	The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent it believes these assets will more likely than not be realized. These deferred tax assets are subject to periodic assessments as to recoverability. If it is determined that it is more likely than not that the benefits will not be realized, valuation allowances are recorded which would increase the provision for income taxes. In making such determinations, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations.
	Certain net operating losses ("NOL") and tax credits generated by the Company prior to the date of our spin-off from Compuware have been utilized by our former parent, Compuware, and are not available to reduce future taxable income of Covisint. Therefore, the deferred tax assets presented above do not include the NOL or tax credits generated by Covisint and utilized by Compuware. In as much as Compuware has paid cash for these NOL and tax credits, the Company has already realized the economic benefit. Covisint has received the economic benefit of these NOL and tax credits through a reduction of the due to parent and affiliates (for the amount of benefit realized by Compuware) which is reported as an equity contribution from Compuware to Covisint in the accompanying balance sheets and a cash flow from financing activities in the accompany cash flow statements. Following the Company's spin-off from Compuware on October 31, 2014, Compuware will no longer receive the tax benefit of these NOLs and tax credits, and, therefore, will no longer compensate the Company for these items.
	Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are included in the income tax expense.
Foreign Currency Translation	Foreign Currency Translation
	The Company’s foreign operations use their respective local currency as their functional currency. Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are minimal and are generally short term in nature. Such assets and liabilities in the financial statements have been translated at the rate of exchange at the respective balance sheet dates, and revenues and expenses have been translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the period the transactions occurred. Translation adjustments have been excluded from the results of operations.
Stock-Based Compensation	Covisint Corporation Stock Compensation Awards
	Covisint calculates the fair value of stock option awards granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which incorporates various assumptions including volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rates and dividend yields. Despite the Company's IPO in September 2013, the Company does not yet have historical stock price data covering a historical period commensurate with the expected life of stock options granted. Therefore, the expected volatility assumption is based on an average of the historical volatility of comparable companies (“peer group companies”). The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates appropriate for the expected life of the stock option awarded. The expected life of the stock option is based on management’s best estimates considering the terms of the options granted. Dividend yields have not been a factor in determining fair value of stock options granted as Covisint has never issued cash dividends and does not anticipate issuing cash dividends in the future.
	Prior to the IPO, Covisint stock was not traded on a stock exchange and thus the exercise price of Covisint stock options at the date of grant was determined by calculating the estimated fair market value of the Company divided by the total shares outstanding, including outstanding stock options that had not yet vested. The estimated fair market value of the Company was measured using an equal combination of discounted cash flow and market comparable valuations and was discounted due to a lack of marketability at the grant date. Previous valuation estimates placed a greater emphasis on the discounted cash flow model. The discounted cash flow model uses significant assumptions, including projected future cash flows, a discount rate reflecting the risk inherent in future cash flows and a terminal growth rate. The key assumptions in the market comparable value analysis are the selection of peer group companies and application of these peer group companies’ data to Covisint.
	Stock-Based Compensation
	Stock award compensation expense is recognized, net of an estimated forfeiture rate, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, for awards that vest strictly based on time, and on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the individual tranches of the award for awards with performance conditions.
	Compuware Corporation Stock Compensation Awards
	Certain Covisint employees have been granted stock options to purchase Compuware common stock, and under the agreements between the Company and Compuware, Covisint records the compensation expense relating to these stock options to purchase Compuware common stock. Compuware calculates the fair value of its stock option awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which incorporates various assumptions including volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rates and dividend yields. The expected volatility assumption is based on historical volatility of Compuware’s common stock over the most recent period commensurate with the expected life of the stock option granted. Compuware uses historical volatility because management believes such volatility is representative of prospective trends. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates appropriate for the expected life of the stock option awarded.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)," a new comprehensive revenue recognition standard that will supersede all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The standard's core principle is that revenue should be recognized as goods or services are transferred to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is not permitted, although the FASB is currently considering a one year deferral of the effective date of this ASU. Entities will have the option of using either a full retrospective approach or a modified approach to adopt the guidance in the ASU. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.
