Restructuring And Related Activities [Abstract]

11. Restructuring and Other Charges

In May 2013, we initiated a business restructuring plan under which we realigned internal resources, resulting in a reduction of our global workforce of approximately 7%. Such activities were completed in the year ended April 25, 2014. In March 2014, we initiated a business realignment plan designed to focus our resources on key strategic initiatives and streamline our business in light of the constrained IT spending environment, resulting in a reduction of our global workforce of approximately 4%. Such activities were completed in the nine months ended January 23, 2015. Restructuring and other charges consisted primarily of employee severance-related costs.

Activities related to these plans are summarized as follows (in millions):
