Capitalization of Software and Development Costs [Abstract]  
CAPITALIZATION OF SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS
CAPITALIZATION OF SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS
For costs incurred related to the development of software to be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed, we apply the provisions of ASC Topic 985-20, Software - Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased or Marketed, which specifies that costs incurred internally in researching and developing a computer software product should be charged to expense until technological feasibility has been established for the product. Once technological feasibility is established, all software costs should be capitalized until the product is available for general release to customers.
We capitalized $1.3 million and $1.9 million in software development costs for ongoing initiatives during the three month periods ended June 29, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively. At June 29, 2013 and March 30, 2013, we have a total of $21.3 million and $20.0 million, respectively, of costs capitalized related to in-process software development initiatives. The costs capitalized for each project are included in intangible assets in the consolidated financial statements.
