Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Contingencies and Commitments	Note 16 —Contingencies and Commitments Legal Proceedings The Company is involved in various legal claims and proceedings arising in the normal course of its business. The Company accrues for a loss contingency when it determines that it is probable, after consultation with counsel, that a liability has been incurred and the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated. At this time, the Company believes that the results of any such contingencies, either individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries are currently in a dispute with a state-owned telecom enterprise in Ecuador, which appears to have political aspects. The Company’s counterparty has claimed monetary damages. The dispute is over contracts, under which the Company was providing certain services, which have been terminated by the counterparty in connection with such dispute and which are under scrutiny by certain local governmental authorities. The Company believes it has solid arguments and is vigorously defending its rights. While the Company has achieved positive results in many of the procedures, a number of the procedures are still ongoing. The Company is unable to reasonably estimate the ultimate outcome of the above dispute. Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees In the ordinary course of its business, the Company provides certain customers with financial performance guarantees which, in certain cases, are backed by lines of credit. The Company is only liable for the amounts of those guarantees in the event of the Company’s nonperformance, which would permit the customer to exercise the guarantee. The Company generally offers its products with a limited warranty. The Company’s policy is to accrue for warranty costs, if needed, based on historical trends in product failure. Based on the Company’s experience, only minimal warranty charges have been incurred after revenue was fully recognized and, as a result, the Company did not accrue any amounts for product warranty liability during fiscal years 2022, 2021 and 2020. The Company generally indemnifies its customers against claims made by third parties arising from the use of the Company’s software and certain other matters. To date, the Company has incurred and recorded immaterial costs as a result of such obligations in its consolidated financial statements.
