Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
SEGMENT INFORMATION
15.     SEGMENT INFORMATION
We report our results in two reportable segments: CSG and EISG. The results of our reportable segments are based on our management reporting system and are not necessarily in conformity with GAAP. The performance of each segment is measured based on several metrics, including income from operations. These results are used, in part, by the chief operating decision maker in evaluating the performance of, and in allocating resources to each of the segments.
The profitability of each of the segments is measured after excluding share-based compensation expense, amortization of acquisition-related balances, acquisition and integration costs, restructuring costs, interest income, interest expense and other items as noted in the reconciliations below.
