Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block]

 The recorded values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value based on their short-term nature. Long-term debt recorded in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2014 was $403.7 million. The fair value of the long-term debt, determined using the quoted price technique based on Level 2 inputs including the yields of comparable companies with similar credit characteristics, was $403.3 million.

Fair Value of Contingent Consideration
 
In connection with estimating the fair value of the contingent consideration, the Company develops various scenarios (base case, downside case, and upside case) and weights each according to the estimated probability of occurrence. The probabilities range from 10.0 percent to 60.0 percent, with the most significant weighting given to the base case at 60.0 percent for Whitaker and 50.0 percent for CyberCoders. These scenarios are developed based on the expected financial performance of the acquired companies, with revenue growth rates being a primary input to the calculation. These revenue growth rates range from 2.0 percent to 15.0 percent for Whitaker, and from 9.6 percent to 25.0 percent for CyberCoders. An increase or decrease in the probability of achievement of any of these scenarios could result in a significant increase or decrease to the estimated fair value.
