Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies A. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and cash invested in highly liquid short-term securities, which have remaining maturities at the date of purchase of less than 90 days. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value
B. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts and a credit memo reserve for estimated losses resulting from the potential inability of our customers to make required payments and potential disputes regarding billing and service issues. The rollforward of the allowance for doubtful accounts and credit memo reserves for the three months ended March 31, 2022 is as follows:
Balance as of December 31, 2021$62,009 
Credit memos charged to revenue12,352 
Allowance for bad debts charged to expense6,699 
Deductions and other(1)
(19,893)
Balance as of March 31, 2022$61,167 
(1)Primarily consists of the issuance of credit memos, the write-off of accounts receivable, allowances associated with businesses acquired and the impact associated with currency translation adjustments.
C. INVENTORY
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, based on a first-in, first-out methodology. Our inventory primarily consists of information technology-related assets including memory, central processing units, hard drives, adaptors and networking. All of our inventory is considered finished goods. Inventory is included as a component of Prepaid expenses and other in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. At March 31, 2022, we have inventory of approximately $24,900, net of related reserves for obsolete, excess and slow-moving inventory, which was acquired as part of the ITRenew Transaction (as defined in Note 3). We had no inventory at December 31, 2021.

I. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Our stock-based compensation expense includes the cost of stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance units (“PUs”) and shares of stock issued under our employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”) (together, the “Employee Stock-Based Awards”).
2022 RETIREMENT ELIGIBLE CRITERIA
For our Employee Stock-Based Awards made on or after March 1, 2022, we have included the following retirement provision:
Upon an award recipient's retirement on or after attaining age 55 with at least five years of service, if the sum of (i) the award recipient’s age at retirement and (ii) the award recipient’s years of service with us totals at least 65, the award recipient is entitled to continued vesting of any outstanding Employee Stock-Based Awards, provided that their retirement occurs on or after a minimum of six months from the grant date (the “Retirement Criteria”).
Accordingly, (i) grants of Employee Stock-Based Awards to an employee who has met the Retirement Criteria on or before the date of grant, or will meet the Retirement Criteria before the six month anniversary in the year of the grant, will be expensed over six months from the date of grant and (ii) grants of Employee Stock-Based Awards to employees who will meet the Retirement Criteria during the award’s normal vesting period will be expensed between the date of grant and the date upon which the award recipient meets the Retirement Criteria.
Stock options and RSUs granted to award recipients who meet the Retirement Criteria will be delivered to the award recipient based upon the original vesting schedule. If an award recipient retires and has met the Retirement Criteria, stock options will remain exercisable until the original expiration date of the stock options. PUs granted to award recipients who meet the Retirement Criteria will be delivered in accordance with the original vesting schedule of the applicable PU award and remain subject to the same performance conditions.

J. ACQUISITION AND INTEGRATION COSTS
Acquisition and integration costs represent operating expenditures directly associated with the closing and integration activities of our business acquisitions that have closed, or are highly probable of closing, and include (i) advisory, legal and professional fees to complete business acquisitions and (ii) costs to integrate acquired businesses into our existing operations, including move, severance, facility upgrade and system integration costs (collectively, “Acquisition and Integration Costs”).

68,431 2,399 
Other Expense (Income), Net$55,901 $4,713 
(1)On March 24, 2022, as a result of our loss of control, we deconsolidated the businesses included in the acquisition of OSG Records Management (Europe) Limited, excluding Ukraine. We recognized a loss of approximately $105,800 associated with the deconsolidation to Other expense (income), net in the first quarter of 2022 representing the difference between the net asset value prior to the deconsolidation and subsequent remeasurement of the retained investment to fair value of zero. We have concluded that the deconsolidation does not meet the criteria to be reported as discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements, as it does not represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results. The loss was partially offset by a gain of approximately $35,800 associated with the Clutter Transaction (as defined in Note 4).
L. INCOME TAXES
We provide for income taxes during interim periods based on our estimate of the effective tax rate for the year.
Our effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 are as follows:
