Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Nature of Business Qumu Corporation (the "Company") provides the tools businesses need to create, manage, secure, deliver and measure the success of their videos. The Company's innovative solutions release the power in video to engage and empower employees, partners and clients. Organizations around the world realize the greatest possible value from video they create and publish. Whatever the audience size, viewer device or network configuration, the Company's solutions are how business does video. The Company views its operations and manages its business as one segment and one reporting unit. Factors used to identify the Company's single operating segment and reporting unit include the financial information available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker in making decisions about how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company manages the marketing of its products and services through regional sales representatives and independent distributors in the United States and international markets. The Company previously conducted its operations through two businesses consisting of 1) its enterprise video content management software business and 2) its disc publishing business. As further described in Note 3, on June 27, 2014, the Company's shareholders approved the sale of the disc publishing assets and on July 1, 2014, the sale was completed. As a result, effective June 27, 2014, the disc publishing business was classified as held for sale and qualified for presentation as discontinued operations effective with the reporting of the Company's financial results for the second quarter of 2014. Accordingly, effective June 27, 2014, the Company had one remaining reportable segment, the enterprise video content management software business. The operational results of the disc publishing business are presented in the “Net income from discontinued operations, net of tax” line item on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. All remaining amounts presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes reflect the financial results and financial position of the Company's continuing enterprise video content management software business, other than consolidated amounts reflecting operating results and balances for both the continuing and discontinued operations. Certain reclassifications have been made to amounts for prior years to conform to the current year's presentation. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities, for which the current carrying amounts approximate fair market values based on quoted market prices or net asset value. Revenue Recognition The Company generates revenue through the sale of enterprise video content management software solutions, hardware, maintenance and support, and professional and other services. Software sales may take the form of a perpetual software license, a term software license or a cloud-hosted software as a service (SaaS). Software licenses and appliances revenue includes sales of perpetual software licenses and hardware. Service revenue includes term software licenses, SaaS, maintenance and support, and professional and other services. The Company commences revenue recognition when all of the following conditions are met: there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement; the product has been delivered or the services have been provided to the customer; the collection of the fees is reasonably assured; and the amount of fees to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable. More specifically: • Revenue from perpetual software licenses and hardware are generally recognized when the product has been delivered. • Revenue from subscription, maintenance and support, which includes term software licenses, cloud-hosted software as a service and maintenance and support, are generally recognized ratably over the contract term beginning on the commencement date of each contract, which is the date the Company’s product has been delivered or service is made available to customers. • Revenue from professional and other services, which are not essential to the functionality of the software, are generally recognized as the services are provided to customers. The Company allocates revenue to the software-related and non-software elements under one arrangement based on the relative selling price. In such circumstances, the selling price for a deliverable is based on the following hierarchy: i) vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”), if available, ii) third-party evidence (“TPE”), if VSOE is not available, or iii) estimated selling price (“ESP”), if neither VSOE nor TPE is available. The Company determines VSOE of the selling price for software-related elements, including professional services and software maintenance and support contracts, based on the price charged for the deliverable when sold separately. After the arrangement consideration has been allocated to the software-related and non-software related elements, the Company accounts for each respective element as follows: • Revenue for each of the non-software elements is allocated based on the selling price hierarchy and recognized as noted above provided all other criteria required for revenue recognition have been met. • Revenue for each of the software-related elements is allocated based on the VSOE of each element and recognized as noted above provided all other criteria required for revenue recognition have been met. In software-related arrangements for which the Company does not have the VSOE of the fair value for all elements, revenue is deferred until the earlier of when the VSOE is determined for the undelivered elements (residual method) or when all elements for which the Company does not have the VSOE of the fair value have been delivered, unless the only undelivered element is maintenance and support, in which case the entire amount of revenue is recognized over the maintenance and support period. Other items relating to charges collected from customers: • Shipping and handling charges collected from customers as part of the Company's sales transactions are included in revenues and the associated costs are included in cost of revenues. • Sales taxes charged to and collected from customers as part of the Company’s sales transactions are excluded from revenues and recorded as a liability to the applicable governmental taxing authority. Deferred Revenue Deferred revenue consists of billings or payments received in advance of revenue recognition and is recognized as the revenue recognition criteria are met. The deferred revenue balance does not represent the total contract value of annual or multi-year, non-cancelable subscription agreements. Deferred revenue that 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. Deferred Commissions Sales commissions represent the direct incremental costs related to the acquisition of customer contracts. The Company recognizes commissions as sales and marketing expense at the time the associated product revenue is recognized, requiring establishment of a deferred cost in the event a commission is paid prior to recognition of revenue. The deferred commission amounts are recoverable through the related future revenue streams under non-cancelable customer contracts and also commission clawback provisions in the Company's sales compensation plans. Deferred commission costs included in prepaid expenses and other assets were $954,000 and $418,000 at December 31, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. Deferred commission costs in other assets, non-current were $104,000 at December 31, 2015 . Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at fair value. Marketable Securities Management determines the appropriate classification of marketable securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date. Currently, all marketable securities held by the Company are classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value as determined by quoted market prices with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. The Company analyzes its marketable securities for impairment on an ongoing basis. Factors considered in determining whether an unrealized loss is a temporary loss or an other-than-temporary loss include the length of time and extent to which the securities have been in an unrealized loss position and the Company’s ability and intent to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated market recovery. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Accounts receivable are initially recorded at a selling price, which approximates fair value upon the sale of goods or services to customers. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to reflect accounts receivable at net realizable value. In judging the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts, the Company considers multiple factors, including historical bad debt experience, the general economic environment, the need for specific client reserves and the aging of the Company’s receivables. A portion of this provision is included in operating expenses as a general and administrative expense and a portion of this provision is included as a reduction of license revenue. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing these factors. If the factors utilized in determining the allowance do not reflect future performance, then a change in the allowance for doubtful accounts would be necessary in the period such determination has been made, which would impact future results of operations. Changes to the allowance for doubtful accounts consisted of the following (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, Allowance for Doubtful Accounts: 2015 2014 2013 Balance at beginning of year $ 55 $ 20 $ 62 Write-offs — (8 ) (25 ) Recoveries — — — Change in provision (31 ) 43 (17 ) Balance at end of year $ 24 $ 55 $ 20 Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company records provisions for potential excess, obsolete and slow moving inventory. Results could be different if demand for the Company’s products decreased because of economic or competitive conditions, or if products became obsolete because of technical advancements in the industry or by the Company. Inventory included in prepaid expenses and other current assets was $250,000 and $168,000 as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives ranging from one to seven years for most assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the property’s useful life or the term of the underlying lease. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to operations as incurred. The asset cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are adjusted for asset retirement or disposal, with the resulting gain or loss, if any, credited or charged to results of operations. Long-lived Assets The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that carrying amounts of its long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances occur, the Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through their undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of these assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. Goodwill The Company records goodwill when consideration paid in a purchase acquisition exceeds the fair value of the net tangible assets and the identified intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if facts and circumstances warrant a review. The Company has determined that there is a single reporting unit for the purpose of goodwill impairment tests. For purposes of assessing the impairment of goodwill, the Company annually, at its fiscal year end, estimates the fair value of the reporting unit and compares this amount to the carrying value of the reporting unit. If the Company determines that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. As of December 31, 2015, the Company completed its annual impairment test of goodwill. Based upon that evaluation, the Company determined that its goodwill was not impaired. See Note 6–"Intangible Assets and Goodwill." Investment in Nonconsolidated Company As of December 31, 2015 and 2014 , the Company held an investment totaling $3.1 million in convertible preferred stock of Briefcam, Ltd. ("Briefcam") a privately-held Israeli company that develops video synopsis technology to augment security and surveillance systems to facilitate review of surveillance video. The investment is included in other non-current assets. Because Qumu's ownership interest is less than 20% and it has no other rights or privileges that enable it to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of Briefcam, Qumu accounts for this equity investment using the cost method. Equity securities accounted for under the cost method are reviewed quarterly for changes in circumstances or the occurrence of events that suggest the Company’s investment may not be fully recoverable. If an unrealized loss for the investment is considered to be other-than-temporary, the loss will be recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period the determination is made. Qumu monitors Briefcam's results of operations, business plan and capital raising activities and is not aware of any events or circumstances that would indicate a decline in the carrying value of its investment. Stock-Based Compensation The Company measures stock-based compensation based on the fair value of the award at the date of grant. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire awards, net of an estimated forfeiture rate. Compensation cost is recognized for all awards over the vesting period to the extent the requisite service requirements are met, whether or not the award is ultimately exercised. Conversely, when the requisite service requirements are not met and the award is forfeited prior to vesting, any compensation expense previously recognized for the award is reversed. Research and Development Costs Costs related to research, design and development of products are charged to research and development expense as incurred. Software development costs are capitalized beginning when a product’s technological feasibility has been established and ending when a product is available for general release to customers. The Company uses the working model approach to determine technological feasibility. The Company’s products are released soon after technological feasibility has been established. As a result, the Company has not capitalized any software development costs because such costs have not been significant. Royalties for Third Party Technology Royalties for third party technology are either paid in advance and capitalized as prepaid royalties or are accrued as incurred and subsequently paid. These royalties are generally expensed to cost of revenue generally at the greater of the contractual rate or an effective royalty rate based on the total projected net revenue for contracts with guaranteed minimums. Each quarter, the Company also evaluates the expected future realization of its prepaid royalties, as well as any minimum commitments not yet paid to determine amounts it deems unlikely to be realized through product sales. Any impairments or losses determined before the launch of a product are generally charged to general and administrative expense, and any impairments or losses determined post-launch are charged to cost of revenue. Unrecognized minimum royalty-based commitments are accounted for as executory contracts, and therefore, any losses on these commitments are recognized when the underlying intellectual property is abandoned (i.e., cease use) or the contractual rights to use the intellectual property are terminated. During the fourth quarter 2015, the Company recognized a loss relating to a third party license agreement of $1.2 million to general and administration expense which included the write-off of a $606,000 prepaid royalty and the accrual of the remaining $606,000 minimum royalty payments. Income Taxes The Company provides for income taxes using the liability method, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some component or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Tax rate changes are reflected in income during the period such changes are enacted. Foreign Currency Translation The functional currency for each of the Company’s international subsidiaries is the respective local currency. The Company translates its financial statements of consolidated entities whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar into U.S. dollars. The Company translates its assets and liabilities at the exchange rate in effect as of the financial statement date and translates statement of operations accounts using the average exchange rate for the period. Exchange rate differences resulting from translation adjustments are accounted for as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Gains or losses, whether realized or unrealized, due to transactions in foreign currencies are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations under the line item other income (expense). Losses on foreign currency transactions were $131,000 , $201,000 and $40,000 for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and are included in other expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Net Loss Per Share Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares including options and restricted stock units. Basic and diluted net loss per common share was the same for all periods presented as the impact of all potentially dilutive securities outstanding was anti-dilutive. Comprehensive Income (Loss) Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income and items defined as other comprehensive income, such as unrealized gains and losses on certain marketable securities and foreign currency translation adjustments. Such items are reported in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). New Accounting Pronouncements In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which amends the guidance requiring companies to separate deferred income tax liabilities and assets into current and non-current amounts in a classified statement of financial position. This accounting guidance simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes, such that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as non-current in a classified statement of financial position. This accounting guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2017, but the Company has elected to adopt this guidance prospectively as of December 31, 2015. As a result, all deferred tax liabilities and assets are classified as non-current in the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2015. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement , which provides guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes software. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The new guidance does not change the accounting for a customer’s accounting for service contracts. ASU 2015-05 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2016, with early adoption permitted using either of two methods: (i) prospective to all arrangements entered into or materially modified after the effective date and represent a change in accounting principle; or (ii) retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the standard on its consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. In July 2015, the FASB voted to amend ASU 2014-09 by approving a one-year deferral of the effective date as well as providing the option to early adopt the standard on the original effective date. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2018 but may be early adopted effective January 1, 2017. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the timing of its adoption and the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

Acquisition of Kulu Valley, Ltd

Acquisition of Kulu Valley, Ltd	12 Months Ended

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisition of Kulu Valley, Ltd	Acquisition of Kulu Valley, Ltd . On October 3, 2014, the Company entered into share purchase agreements to acquire 100% of the outstanding shares (the "Share Purchase Transaction") of Kulu Valley Ltd., a private limited company incorporated in England and Wales (“Kulu Valley”). The acquisition was made to expand Qumu’s addressable market through the offering of Kulu Valley’s best-in-class video content creation capabilities and easy-to-deploy pure cloud solution, and provides Kulu Valley’s customers with access to industry leading video content management and delivery capability. After inclusion of working capital and other adjustments required under the share purchase agreements, the aggregate net purchase price totaled approximately $14,591,000 consisting of a cash outlay of approximately $11,556,000 , net of cash acquired in the transaction of $2,466,000 , and approximately 275,000 shares of Qumu Corporation's common stock. For purposes of calculating the purchase price attributable to the 275,000 shares of Company common stock issuable in the Share Purchase Transaction, the parties agreed upon a value of $13.75 per share. All of the shares of the Company’s common stock issued in the Share Purchase Transaction were issued to shareholders of Kulu Valley who are also employees of Kulu Valley. Pursuant to the terms of a lock-up letter agreement, the shares issued in the Share Purchase Transaction were restricted from transfer, subject to certain exceptions. The restrictions lapsed for all of the shares issued 365 days following the closing of the Share Purchase Transaction. Following the acquisition, Kulu Valley’s liabilities consisted of trade payables, accrued expenses, deferred tax liabilities and deferred revenue related primarily to active software subscription agreements. Of the cash amounts payable in the acquisition, $2,000,000 was subject to escrow for a fifteen month period to secure certain warranty and indemnification obligations to the Company; the escrow was released in January 2016. The acquisition was funded through the use of cash held by the Company at the acquisition date and the Company's common stock. The acquisition was accounted for under the provisions of ASC 805, Business Combinations . The results of operations of Kulu Valley are included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations since October 3, 2014, the date of the acquisition. After the impact of applying fair value purchase accounting adjustments of $1.1 million to reduce the carrying value of deferred revenues, the Company recorded revenues for Kulu Valley of approximately $464,000 during the post-acquisition period in 2014. The acquisition of Kulu Valley’s assets and liabilities does not constitute a material business combination and accordingly, pro forma results have not been included. The following table summarizes the purchase accounting allocation of the total purchase price to Kulu Valley’s net tangible and intangible assets, with the residual allocated to goodwill (in thousands): Aggregate purchase price, net of cash acquired $ 15,118 Less: discount applied to Qumu Corporation stock for trade restrictions (527 ) Net transaction consideration $ 14,591 Current assets $ 1,494 Property and equipment 140 Intangible assets 6,663 Goodwill 8,795 Current liabilities (1,170 ) Net deferred tax liabilities (1,331 ) Total net assets acquired $ 14,591 The aggregate purchase price for purchase accounting of $14,591,000 reflects the cash consideration, net of cash acquired, plus the valuation of issued Qumu Corporation (NASDAQ:QUMU) stock at the closing price per share of $12.95 on the date of the acquisition. The Company is not aware of further adjustments required in the purchase price allocation. The aggregate purchase price was allocated to the fair values of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The fair values assigned to intangible assets were determined through the use of forecasted cash inflows and outflows, primarily applying a relief-from royalty and a multi-period excess earnings method. These valuation methods were based on management’s estimates as of the acquisition date of October 3, 2014. The excess of the purchase price over the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired was recorded as goodwill, which is non-deductible for tax purposes. Transaction costs of approximately $245,000 were expensed as incurred and were included in the Company’s general and administrative expenses. The guidance under ASC 805 provides that intangible assets with finite lives be amortized over their estimated remaining useful lives, while goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives will not be amortized, but rather tested for impairment on at least an annual basis. Useful lives for intangible assets were determined based upon the remaining useful economic lives of the intangible assets that are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to future cash flows. In the aggregate, the identifiable intangible assets were valued at $6,663,000 , of which $4,233,000 was allocated to developed technology, $2,315,000 was allocated to customer relationships, $74,000 was allocated to trade name and $41,000 was allocated to covenant not-to-compete agreements. The acquired intangible assets will be amortized based on estimated expected future cash flows for a period ranging from fifteen months to nine years. As part of the opening balance sheet purchase accounting, the Company established a net deferred tax liability of $1.3 million . This consisted of a deferred tax liability of approximately $1.5 million for the estimated future impact of the difference in the U.S. book vs. U.K. statutory and tax basis of the purchased intangible assets, deferred revenues and accrued compensation. Partially offsetting this was the impact of the establishment of deferred tax assets amounting to approximately $0.2 million for the future benefit of utilization of acquired net operating losses and the impact of cumulative temporary U.S. book to tax differences.

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]
Divestiture of Disc Publishing Business	Divestiture of Disc Publishing Business On April 24, 2014, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “asset purchase agreement”) with Equus Holdings, Inc. and Redwood Acquisition, Inc. (now known as Rimage Corporation, “Buyer”). Under the terms of the asset purchase agreement, the Company agreed to sell to Buyer all of the assets primarily used or primarily held for use in connection with its disc publishing business. Buyer also agreed to assume on the closing date certain agreements and liabilities relating to the disc publishing business and the acquired assets. At a special meeting of the Company's shareholders held on June 27, 2014, the Company's shareholders approved the sale of the disc publishing assets as contemplated by the asset purchase agreement. As a result, effective June 27, 2014, the disc publishing business was classified as held for sale and qualified for discontinued operations presentation in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The results of the discontinued disc publishing business have been presented as discontinued operations effective with the reporting of financial results for the second quarter 2014. As such, financial results for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 have been reported on this basis. On July 1, 2014, the Company’s sale of the disc publishing business was completed. The Company also entered into a mutual transition services agreement with Buyer and entered into a lease agreement with Buyer for the lease from Buyer of a portion of the property located at 7725 Washington Avenue South, Minneapolis, MN 55439. The Company terminated the lease agreement in September 2015 due to the Company relocating its corporate headquarters to 510 1st Avenue North, Suite 305, Minneapolis, MN 55403. The adjusted purchase price paid to the Company was $22.0 million , of which $2.3 million was placed in an escrow account to support the Company’s indemnification obligations under the asset purchase agreement for a fifteen -month escrow period. The $2.3 million escrow was classified as restricted cash on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2014 and was released from escrow to the Company in October 2015. In the third quarter of 2014, the Company recorded a gain on sale of the disc publishing business of $16.2 million , exclusive of the impact of transaction related expenses recorded through September 30, 2014. The gain on sale attributable to the U.S. is offset for federal income tax purposes by current or prior-year tax losses but is subject to applicable state income taxes. The operational results of the disc publishing business are presented in the “Net income from discontinued operations, net of tax” line item on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Also included in this line item for the 2014 period is the gain on sale of the disc publishing business and non-recurring expenses incurred by the Company as a result of the sale of the disc publishing business, including third party transaction specific costs, one-time income tax related impacts and the acceleration of vesting of cash-based long-term incentive and stock-based awards payable to employees of the disc publishing business upon completion of the asset sale transaction. The described non-recurring expenses and income tax related impacts amounted to approximately $9.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. No general corporate charges were allocated to the discontinued business. The assets and liabilities of the discontinued business are presented on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as assets and liabilities from discontinued operations. Other than consolidated amounts reflecting operating results and balances for both the continuing and discontinued operations, all remaining amounts presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes reflect the financial results and financial position of the Company's continuing enterprise video content management software business. Revenue, operating income, gain on sale of business, income tax expense and net income from discontinued operations were as follows (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2015 2014 2013 Net revenue $ — $ 29,922 $ 64,736 Operating income — 4,520 9,918 Gain on sale of discontinued operations — 16,167 — Income tax expense (benefit) (92 ) 6,955 3,336 Net income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax (10 ) 13,823 6,402 Net loss from discontinued operations attributable to noncontrolling interest — — 125 Net income (loss) from discontinued operations attributable to Qumu $ (10 ) $ 13,823 $ 6,527 The major classes of assets and liabilities from discontinued operations were as follows (in thousands): December 31, December 31, Current assets from discontinued operations $ — $ 1,026 Accrued compensation $ — $ 31 Other current liabilities 50 417 Current liabilities from discontinued operations $ 50 $ 448

The goodwill balance of $8.1 million at December 31, 2015 reflects the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations since the acquisition date. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the acquisition of Kulu Valley. The gross carrying amount of goodwill related to the 2011 acquisition of Qumu, Inc. of $22.2 million was fully impaired in 2012. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company’s stock price traded at levels which caused the Company’s enterprise value, excluding any control premium, to approximate its book value, resulting in increased risk of a potential impairment of goodwill. As of December 31, 2015, the Company’s market capitalization, without a control premium, was less than its book value suggesting a possible goodwill impairment. The Company engaged a third party valuation firm to assist the Company with its goodwill impairment analysis. Based on the analysis, the Company determined its enterprise value using a discounted cash flow analysis and a comparable public company analysis, giving both equal weight, was greater than the Company’s book value by 14% . As a result, the Company concluded there was no goodwill impairment. While not a factor used for the December 31, 2015 goodwill impairment analysis, the Company's market capitalization increased to $48.7 million as of March 14, 2016 which was in excess of its book value at December 31, 2015 by 58% . Declines in the Company’s market capitalization could require the Company to record goodwill and other impairment charges. While a goodwill impairment charge is a non-cash charge, it would have a negative impact on the Company's results of operations.

Leases [Abstract]
Lease Commitments	Commitments and Contingencies Leases and Other Financing Obligations During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company acquired computer and network equipment and furniture through capital leases. Balances for assets acquired under capital lease obligations and included in property and equipment were as follows (in thousands): December 31, 2015 2014 Computer and network equipment $ 511 $ — Furniture 287 — Assets acquired under capital lease obligations 798 — Accumulated depreciation (123 ) — Assets acquired under capital lease obligations, net $ 675 $ — The current and long-term portions of capital leases and other financing obligations were as follows (in thousands): December 31, 2015 2014 Capital leases and other financing obligations, current $ 502 $ — Capital leases and other financing obligations, noncurrent 519 — Total capital leases and other financing obligations $ 1,021 $ — The Company leases certain of its facilities and some of its equipment under non-cancelable operating lease arrangements. The rental payments under these leases are charged to expense on a straight-line basis over the non-cancelable term of the lease. Future minimum payments under capital lease obligations, other financing obligations, and non-cancelable operating leases, excluding property taxes and other operating expenses as of December 31, 2015 are as follows (in thousands): Capital leases and other financing obligations Operating leases Total Years ending December 31, 2016 $ 561 $ 1,218 $ 1,779 2017 375 1,268 1,643 2018 179 1,062 1,241 2019 — 571 571 2020 — 309 309 Thereafter — 658 658 Total minimum lease payments 1,115 $ 5,086 $ 6,201 Less amount representing interest (94 ) Present value of net minimum lease payments $ 1,021 On March 5, 2015, the Company entered into an office facility lease agreement for space that will serve as its corporate headquarters. The eighty-nine month lease commenced on September 1, 2015, provides the Company approximately 17,216 square feet in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with the initial term expiring January 31, 2023. Total base rent payable over the lease period is $1,822,000 . The Company has one option to extend the term of the lease for an additional five year period with respect to the leased premises. The lease agreement allowed the Company to construct leasehold improvements to the new space prior to the effective date of the lease. As the leasehold improvements are the property of the Company, the associated costs, amounting to approximately $713,000 , were capitalized in property and equipment as of September 30, 2015 and will be depreciated over the term of the lease. As an incentive to enter into the lease agreement, the lessor provided the Company a one-time tenant improvement allowance of $689,000 to apply against the cost of the leasehold improvements. The one-time tenant improvement allowance is included in deferred rent and will be amortized as a reduction of rent expense over the term of the lease. During the third quarter 2015, the Company recognized an equipment operating lease loss of $1.0 million relating to equipment the Company no longer plans to utilize as part of it managed services offerings. Under this obligation, there are six remaining lease payments of $71,000 payable through the first quarter of 2017. Rent expense under operating leases amounted to approximately $1.0 million , $0.7 million and $0.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 , 2014 and 2013 , respectively. Contingencies The Company is exposed to a number of asserted and unasserted legal claims encountered in the ordinary course of its business. Although the outcome of any such legal actions cannot be predicted, management believes that there are no pending legal proceedings against or involving the Company for which the outcome is likely to have a material adverse effect upon its financial position or results of operations. The Company’s standard arrangements include provisions indemnifying customers against liabilities if the Company's products infringe a third-party’s intellectual property rights. The Company has not incurred any costs in its continuing operations as a result of such indemnifications and has not accrued any liabilities related to such contingent obligations in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation	12 Months Ended

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation The Company issues shares pursuant to the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”) which provides for the grant of stock incentive awards in the form of incentive and non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance stock, performance units and other awards in stock and/or cash to certain key employees, non-employee directors and service providers. The exercise price of stock options granted under the 2007 Plan is equal to the market value on the date of grant. As of December 31, 2015, 2,230,320 shares are authorized under the 2007 Plan of which 337,456 were available for future grant. In addition to awards granted under the 2007 Plan, the Company granted non-qualified options to purchase 200,000 , 100,000 , 50,000 and 130,000 shares of its common stock to newly hired senior management level employees on April 1, 2009 , November 26, 2012 , January 7, 2013 and May 18, 2015 , respectively, all of which were outstanding as of December 31, 2015. The options in all cases were granted outside of any shareholder-approved plan as inducements to accept employment with the Company. The options have an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock as reported by the Nasdaq Stock Market on the date of grant, vest in four equal installments on each of the first four anniversaries of the date of grant and have terms of seven years. In other respects, the options were structured to mirror the terms of the options granted under the 2007 Plan and are subject to stock option agreements between the Company and the employees. The Company recognized the following amounts related to the Company’s share-based payment arrangements (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2015 2014 2013 Stock-based compensation cost charged against loss, before income tax benefit Stock options $ 686 $ 812 $ 928 Restricted stock and restricted stock units 1,148 1,029 507 Total expense included in continuing operations $ 1,834 $ 1,841 $ 1,435 Stock-based compensation cost included in: Cost of revenues $ 159 $ 55 $ 25 Operating expenses 1,675 1,786 1,410 Total expense included in continuing operations $ 1,834 $ 1,841 $ 1,435 As of December 31, 2015 , total stock option compensation expense of $1.7 million and $1.7 million was not yet recognized related to non-vested option awards and related to non-vested shares and share unit awards, respectively, and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.9 years and 2.6 years, respectively. In addition to the stock-based compensation costs recognized in continuing operations related to the Company’s share-based payment arrangements, stock-based compensation costs of $198,000 and $343,000 are included in discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Stock Options The fair value of each option award is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The assumptions used to determine the fair value of stock option awards granted were as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2015 2014 2013 Expected life of options in years 4.75 4.75 2.00 - 4.75 Risk-free interest rate 1.3% - 1.6% 1.4% - 1.6% 0.3% - 1.3% Expected volatility 34.5% - 53.2% 33.1% - 34.5% 31.5% - 43.7% Expected dividend yield 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% The Company reviews these assumptions at the time of each new option award and adjusts them as necessary to ensure proper option valuation. The expected life represents the period that the stock option awards are expected to be outstanding. Effective April 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a change in the contractual term of stock options granted to employees from ten to seven years. Given the reduction in the contractual term of its employee stock option awards, the Company determined it was unable to rely on its historical exercise data as a basis for estimating the expected life of stock options granted to employees subsequent to this change. As such, the Company used the “simplified” method for determining the expected life of stock options granted to employees in 2015 , 2014 and 2013 , which bases the expected life calculation on the average of the vesting term and the contractual term of the awards.

The Company also had $58.8 million of various state net operating loss carryforwards. The loss carryforwards for federal tax purposes will expire between 2023 and 2035 if not utilized. The loss carryforwards for state tax purposes will expire between 2022 and 2035 if not utilized. As of December 31, 2015 , the Company had federal and state research and development credit carryforwards of $2.9 million , net of Section 383 limitations, which will begin to expire in 2022 if not utilized. As a result of its acquisition of Qumu, Inc. in October 2011, utilization of U.S. net operating losses and tax credits of Qumu, Inc. are subject to annual limitations under Internal Revenue Code Sections 382 and 383, respectively. The Company assessed that the valuation allowance against its U.S. deferred tax assets is still appropriate as of December 31, 2015, based on the consideration of all available positive and negative evidence, using the “more likely than not” standard required by ASC 740, Income Taxes . The valuation allowance will be reviewed quarterly and will be maintained until sufficient positive evidence exists to support the reversal of the valuation allowance. The Company generally believes that it is more likely than not that the future results of the operations of its subsidiaries in the U.K. will generate sufficient taxable income due to the reversal of deferred tax liabilities to realize the tax benefits related to its deferred tax assets. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had a cumulative foreign tax loss carryforward of $2.1 million in the U.K. This amount can be carried forward indefinitely. The Company has not provided deferred taxes on unremitted earnings attributable to its international subsidiaries that are considered to be reinvested indefinitely. Accumulated undistributed foreign earnings relate primarily to operations of the Company's subsidiaries in Japan and the U.K. and amount to approximately $1.3 million as of December 31, 2015. The amount of cash, cash equivalent and marketable securities held by the Company's international subsidiaries that are not available to fund domestic operations unless repatriated was $1.0 million as of December 31, 2015. The Company currently does not intend to repatriate the cash and related balances held by its international subsidiaries. However, if circumstances change and these funds are needed to meet cash requirements in the U.S., the Company may be required to accrue and pay U.S. taxes, net of related foreign tax credits, to repatriate these funds. Based on current tax laws and structures, the Company does not believe this would have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and cash flows. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of gross unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31 is presented in the table below (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2015 2014 Gross unrecognized tax benefits at beginning of year $ 900 $ 1,036 Increases related to: Prior year income tax positions 2 — Current year income tax positions 68 64 Decreases related to: Prior year income tax positions - closure of statute of limitations — (200 ) Gross unrecognized tax benefits at end of year $ 970 $ 900 Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2015 are potential benefits of $9,000 that if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. The Company does not anticipate that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2015 will change significantly by December 31, 2016. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. Total accrued interest and penalties amounted to $4,000 and $1,000 on a gross basis at December 31, 2015 and 2014 , respectively, and are excluded from the reconciliation of unrecognized tax benefits presented above. Interest and penalties recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations related to uncertain tax positions amounted to a net tax benefit in 2015 of $3,000 and net tax expense in 2014 of $18,000 . The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2015 , the Company was no longer subject to income tax examinations for taxable years before 2013 in the case of U.S. federal taxing authorities, and taxable years generally before 2011 in the case of state taxing authorities, consisting primarily of Minnesota and California.

Nature Of Business And Summar22

Nature Of Business And Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2015
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Nature of Business	Qumu Corporation (the "Company") provides the tools businesses need to create, manage, secure, deliver and measure the success of their videos. The Company's innovative solutions release the power in video to engage and empower employees, partners and clients. Organizations around the world realize the greatest possible value from video they create and publish. Whatever the audience size, viewer device or network configuration, the Company's solutions are how business does video. The Company views its operations and manages its business as one segment and one reporting unit. Factors used to identify the Company's single operating segment and reporting unit include the financial information available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker in making decisions about how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company manages the marketing of its products and services through regional sales representatives and independent distributors in the United States and international markets. The Company previously conducted its operations through two businesses consisting of 1) its enterprise video content management software business and 2) its disc publishing business. As further described in Note 3, on June 27, 2014, the Company's shareholders approved the sale of the disc publishing assets and on July 1, 2014, the sale was completed. As a result, effective June 27, 2014, the disc publishing business was classified as held for sale and qualified for presentation as discontinued operations effective with the reporting of the Company's financial results for the second quarter of 2014. Accordingly, effective June 27, 2014, the Company had one remaining reportable segment, the enterprise video content management software business. The operational results of the disc publishing business are presented in the “Net income from discontinued operations, net of tax” line item on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. All remaining amounts presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes reflect the financial results and financial position of the Company's continuing enterprise video content management software business, other than consolidated amounts reflecting operating results and balances for both the continuing and discontinued operations. Certain reclassifications have been made to amounts for prior years to conform to the current year's presentation. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition The Company generates revenue through the sale of enterprise video content management software solutions, hardware, maintenance and support, and professional and other services. Software sales may take the form of a perpetual software license, a term software license or a cloud-hosted software as a service (SaaS). Software licenses and appliances revenue includes sales of perpetual software licenses and hardware. Service revenue includes term software licenses, SaaS, maintenance and support, and professional and other services. The Company commences revenue recognition when all of the following conditions are met: there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement; the product has been delivered or the services have been provided to the customer; the collection of the fees is reasonably assured; and the amount of fees to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable. More specifically: • Revenue from perpetual software licenses and hardware are generally recognized when the product has been delivered. • Revenue from subscription, maintenance and support, which includes term software licenses, cloud-hosted software as a service and maintenance and support, are generally recognized ratably over the contract term beginning on the commencement date of each contract, which is the date the Company’s product has been delivered or service is made available to customers. • Revenue from professional and other services, which are not essential to the functionality of the software, are generally recognized as the services are provided to customers. The Company allocates revenue to the software-related and non-software elements under one arrangement based on the relative selling price. In such circumstances, the selling price for a deliverable is based on the following hierarchy: i) vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”), if available, ii) third-party evidence (“TPE”), if VSOE is not available, or iii) estimated selling price (“ESP”), if neither VSOE nor TPE is available. The Company determines VSOE of the selling price for software-related elements, including professional services and software maintenance and support contracts, based on the price charged for the deliverable when sold separately. After the arrangement consideration has been allocated to the software-related and non-software related elements, the Company accounts for each respective element as follows: • Revenue for each of the non-software elements is allocated based on the selling price hierarchy and recognized as noted above provided all other criteria required for revenue recognition have been met. • Revenue for each of the software-related elements is allocated based on the VSOE of each element and recognized as noted above provided all other criteria required for revenue recognition have been met. In software-related arrangements for which the Company does not have the VSOE of the fair value for all elements, revenue is deferred until the earlier of when the VSOE is determined for the undelivered elements (residual method) or when all elements for which the Company does not have the VSOE of the fair value have been delivered, unless the only undelivered element is maintenance and support, in which case the entire amount of revenue is recognized over the maintenance and support period. Other items relating to charges collected from customers: • Shipping and handling charges collected from customers as part of the Company's sales transactions are included in revenues and the associated costs are included in cost of revenues. • Sales taxes charged to and collected from customers as part of the Company’s sales transactions are excluded from revenues and recorded as a liability to the applicable governmental taxing authority.
Deferred Revenue	Deferred Revenue Deferred revenue consists of billings or payments received in advance of revenue recognition and is recognized as the revenue recognition criteria are met. The deferred revenue balance does not represent the total contract value of annual or multi-year, non-cancelable subscription agreements. Deferred revenue that 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.
Deferred Commissions	Deferred Commissions Sales commissions represent the direct incremental costs related to the acquisition of customer contracts. The Company recognizes commissions as sales and marketing expense at the time the associated product revenue is recognized, requiring establishment of a deferred cost in the event a commission is paid prior to recognition of revenue. The deferred commission amounts are recoverable through the related future revenue streams under non-cancelable customer contracts and also commission clawback provisions in the Company's sales compensation plans.
Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at fair value.
Marketable Securities	Marketable Securities Management determines the appropriate classification of marketable securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date. Currently, all marketable securities held by the Company are classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value as determined by quoted market prices with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. The Company analyzes its marketable securities for impairment on an ongoing basis. Factors considered in determining whether an unrealized loss is a temporary loss or an other-than-temporary loss include the length of time and extent to which the securities have been in an unrealized loss position and the Company’s ability and intent to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated market recovery.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts	Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Accounts receivable are initially recorded at a selling price, which approximates fair value upon the sale of goods or services to customers. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to reflect accounts receivable at net realizable value. In judging the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts, the Company considers multiple factors, including historical bad debt experience, the general economic environment, the need for specific client reserves and the aging of the Company’s receivables. A portion of this provision is included in operating expenses as a general and administrative expense and a portion of this provision is included as a reduction of license revenue. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing these factors. If the factors utilized in determining the allowance do not reflect future performance, then a change in the allowance for doubtful accounts would be necessary in the period such determination has been made, which would impact future results of operations.
Inventories	Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company records provisions for potential excess, obsolete and slow moving inventory. Results could be different if demand for the Company’s products decreased because of economic or competitive conditions, or if products became obsolete because of technical advancements in the industry or by the Company. Inventory included in prepaid expenses and other current assets was $250,000 and $168,000 as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Property and Equipment	Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives ranging from one to seven years for most assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the property’s useful life or the term of the underlying lease. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to operations as incurred. The asset cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are adjusted for asset retirement or disposal, with the resulting gain or loss, if any, credited or charged to results of operations.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets	Goodwill The Company records goodwill when consideration paid in a purchase acquisition exceeds the fair value of the net tangible assets and the identified intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if facts and circumstances warrant a review. The Company has determined that there is a single reporting unit for the purpose of goodwill impairment tests. For purposes of assessing the impairment of goodwill, the Company annually, at its fiscal year end, estimates the fair value of the reporting unit and compares this amount to the carrying value of the reporting unit. If the Company determines that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. As of December 31, 2015, the Company completed its annual impairment test of goodwill. Based upon that evaluation, the Company determined that its goodwill was not impaired. See Note 6–"Intangible Assets and Goodwill."
Impairment of Long-lived Assets	Long-lived Assets The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that carrying amounts of its long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances occur, the Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through their undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of these assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets.
Investment in Nonconsolidated Company	Investment in Nonconsolidated Company As of December 31, 2015 and 2014 , the Company held an investment totaling $3.1 million in convertible preferred stock of Briefcam, Ltd. ("Briefcam") a privately-held Israeli company that develops video synopsis technology to augment security and surveillance systems to facilitate review of surveillance video. The investment is included in other non-current assets. Because Qumu's ownership interest is less than 20% and it has no other rights or privileges that enable it to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of Briefcam, Qumu accounts for this equity investment using the cost method. Equity securities accounted for under the cost method are reviewed quarterly for changes in circumstances or the occurrence of events that suggest the Company’s investment may not be fully recoverable. If an unrealized loss for the investment is considered to be other-than-temporary, the loss will be recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period the determination is made. Qumu monitors Briefcam's results of operations, business plan and capital raising activities and is not aware of any events or circumstances that would indicate a decline in the carrying value of its investment.
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation The Company measures stock-based compensation based on the fair value of the award at the date of grant. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire awards, net of an estimated forfeiture rate. Compensation cost is recognized for all awards over the vesting period to the extent the requisite service requirements are met, whether or not the award is ultimately exercised. Conversely, when the requisite service requirements are not met and the award is forfeited prior to vesting, any compensation expense previously recognized for the award is reversed.
Research and Development Costs	Research and Development Costs Costs related to research, design and development of products are charged to research and development expense as incurred. Software development costs are capitalized beginning when a product’s technological feasibility has been established and ending when a product is available for general release to customers. The Company uses the working model approach to determine technological feasibility. The Company’s products are released soon after technological feasibility has been established. As a result, the Company has not capitalized any software development costs because such costs have not been significant.
Royalties for Third Party Technology	Royalties for Third Party Technology Royalties for third party technology are either paid in advance and capitalized as prepaid royalties or are accrued as incurred and subsequently paid. These royalties are generally expensed to cost of revenue generally at the greater of the contractual rate or an effective royalty rate based on the total projected net revenue for contracts with guaranteed minimums. Each quarter, the Company also evaluates the expected future realization of its prepaid royalties, as well as any minimum commitments not yet paid to determine amounts it deems unlikely to be realized through product sales. Any impairments or losses determined before the launch of a product are generally charged to general and administrative expense, and any impairments or losses determined post-launch are charged to cost of revenue. Unrecognized minimum royalty-based commitments are accounted for as executory contracts, and therefore, any losses on these commitments are recognized when the underlying intellectual property is abandoned (i.e., cease use) or the contractual rights to use the intellectual property are terminated.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company provides for income taxes using the liability method, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some component or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Tax rate changes are reflected in income during the period such changes are enacted.
Foreign Currency Translation	Foreign Currency Translation The functional currency for each of the Company’s international subsidiaries is the respective local currency. The Company translates its financial statements of consolidated entities whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar into U.S. dollars. The Company translates its assets and liabilities at the exchange rate in effect as of the financial statement date and translates statement of operations accounts using the average exchange rate for the period. Exchange rate differences resulting from translation adjustments are accounted for as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Gains or losses, whether realized or unrealized, due to transactions in foreign currencies are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations under the line item other income (expense).
Net Loss Per Share	Net Loss Per Share Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares including options and restricted stock units. Basic and diluted net loss per common share was the same for all periods presented as the impact of all potentially dilutive securities outstanding was anti-dilutive.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)	Comprehensive Income (Loss) Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income and items defined as other comprehensive income, such as unrealized gains and losses on certain marketable securities and foreign currency translation adjustments. Such items are reported in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
New Accounting Pronouncements	New Accounting Pronouncements In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which amends the guidance requiring companies to separate deferred income tax liabilities and assets into current and non-current amounts in a classified statement of financial position. This accounting guidance simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes, such that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as non-current in a classified statement of financial position. This accounting guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2017, but the Company has elected to adopt this guidance prospectively as of December 31, 2015. As a result, all deferred tax liabilities and assets are classified as non-current in the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2015. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement , which provides guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes software. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The new guidance does not change the accounting for a customer’s accounting for service contracts. ASU 2015-05 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2016, with early adoption permitted using either of two methods: (i) prospective to all arrangements entered into or materially modified after the effective date and represent a change in accounting principle; or (ii) retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the standard on its consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. In July 2015, the FASB voted to amend ASU 2014-09 by approving a one-year deferral of the effective date as well as providing the option to early adopt the standard on the original effective date. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2018 but may be early adopted effective January 1, 2017. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the timing of its adoption and the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.
