Revenue Recognition [Abstract]
Deferred Revenue, Net	NOTE 9: Deferred Revenue, Net Deferred revenue arises primarily related to certain software systems and staffing arrangements. Software systems revenue arises from software development and customization, sale of software licenses and computer hardware, installation, implementation and integration services and PCS. Because the Company is not able to establish the fair value for these various elements, the Company defers all revenue and related direct costs for these arrangements until customer acceptance of delivered elements is received and the only undelivered elements are services that are not essential to the functionality of the software solution. At that time revenue and cost recognition commences and the total arrangement fee is recognized ratably over the remaining period of performance of the arrangement, which is typically the PCS period. Accordingly, cash is generally received in advance of revenue recognition. As of November 3, 2013 and October 28, 2012, the Company had deferred revenue associated with software system sales of $15.7 million and $23.3 million, which is presented net of related deferred costs of $3.8 million and $3.5 million, respectively. Deferred revenue also arises from service arrangements, primarily for staffing services, when services are provided despite the customer arrangement not yet being finalized, typically due to ongoing customer negotiations. In these instances the Company must defer recognition of revenue until arrangements are finalized or in some cases until cash is received. Additionally, certain customer arrangements include performance guarantees and cancellation provisions that result in deferred revenue until the service has been performed and the amounts are not contingent upon future events. As of November 3, 2013 and October 28, 2012, the Company had received payments but deferred the revenue associated with arrangements where customer arrangements were not finalized or the revenue is contingent upon future events of $4.3 million and $8.7 million, respectively. Deferred revenue is classified as current or non-current based on the anticipated period in which the revenue is expected to be recognized.
