Organization [Abstract]
Organization	1. Organization Kenexa Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company” or “Kenexa”) is a leading provider of software-as-a-service, or SaaS, solutions that enable organizations to more effectively recruit and retain employees. Kenexa’s solutions are built around a suite of easily configurable software applications that automate talent acquisition and employee performance management best practices. Kenexa’s software applications are complemented with tailored combinations of proprietary content, outsourcing services and consulting services based on its 24 years of experience assisting customers in addressing their Human Resource (HR) requirements. Together, the software applications, content and services form complete solutions that customers find more effective than the point technology or service solutions available from alternative vendors. The Company believes that these solutions enable its customers to improve the effectiveness of their talent acquisition programs, increase employee productivity and retention, measure key HR metrics and make their talent acquisition and employee performance management programs more efficient. The Company began its operations in 1987 under its predecessor companies, Insurance Services, Inc., or ISI, and International Holding Company, Inc., or IHC. In December 1999, the Company reorganized its corporate structure by merging ISI and IHC with and into Raymond Karsan Associates, Inc., or RKA, a Pennsylvania corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Raymond Karsan Holdings, Inc., or RKH, a Pennsylvania corporation. Each of RKA and RKH were newly created to consolidate the businesses of ISI and IHC. In April 2000, the Company changed its name to TalentPoint, Inc. and changed the name of RKA to TalentPoint Technologies, Inc. In November 2000, the Company changed its name to Kenexa Corporation, and changed the name of TalentPoint Technologies, Inc. to Kenexa Technology, Inc., or Kenexa Technology. Currently, Kenexa transacts business primarily through Kenexa Technology. Although the Company has several product lines, our chief decision makers determine resource allocation decisions and assess and evaluate periodic performance under one operating segment.
