Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract] |
Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets | Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets The following table identifies the activity relating to goodwill by operating segment:
In millions | Balance December 31, 2013 |  | Additions |  | Currency Translation Adjustments |  | Balance December 31, 2014
Goodwill |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Americas | $ | 626 |  |  | $ | 30 |  |  | $ | (2 | ) |  | $ | 654 |
International | 320 |  |  | — |  |  | (26 | ) |  | 294 |
Total goodwill | $ | 946 |  |  | $ | 30 |  |  | $ | (28 | ) |  | $ | 948 |
The change in goodwill for the year ended December 31, 2014 was primarily due to immaterial complementary acquisitions that were completed during the period, which was offset by the impact of currency translation adjustments. See Note 12 for additional information on the Company's business acquisitions. In the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company performed its annual impairment test of goodwill and determined that no impairment to the carrying value of goodwill was necessary, as the fair value of each reporting unit exceeded their respective carrying amounts, including goodwill. Teradata reviewed four reporting units in its 2014 goodwill impairment assessment, as both geographic operating segments consisted of separate reporting units for data warehouse and application software activities. Acquired intangible assets were specifically identified when acquired, and are deemed to have finite lives. The gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization for Teradata’s acquired intangible assets were as follows:
|  |  | December 31, 2014 |  | December 31, 2013
In millions | Amortization Life (in Years) |  | Gross Carrying Amount |  | Accumulated Amortization and Currency Translation Adjustments |  | Gross Carrying Amount |  | Accumulated Amortization and Currency Translation Adjustments
Acquired intangible assets |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Intellectual property/developed technology | 1 to 7 |  | $ | 186 |  |  | $ | (95 | ) |  | $ | 153 |  |  | $ | (70 | )
Customer relationships | 3 to 10 |  | 77 |  |  | (35 | ) |  | 77 |  |  | (23 | )
Trademarks/trade names | 5 |  | 1 |  |  | (1 | ) |  | 15 |  |  | (7 | )

Total |  |  | $ | 269 |  |  | $ | (133 | ) |  | $ | 251 |  |  | $ | (102 | )
The gross carrying amount of acquired intangible assets increased by $39 million with the addition of newly acquired intangible assets associated with immaterial acquisitions. This was partially offset by $21 million for certain intangible assets previously acquired that became fully amortized and were removed from the balance sheet. The aggregate amortization expense (actual and estimated) for acquired intangible assets for the following periods is:
| Actual |  | For the year ended (estimated)
In millions | 2012 |  | 2013 |  | 2014 |  | 2015 |  | 2016 |  | 2017 |  | 2018 |  | 2019
Amortization expense | $ | 37 |  |  | $ | 44 |  |  | $ | 47 |  |  | $ | 43 |  |  | $ | 34 |  |  | $ | 25 |  |  | $ | 14 |  |  | $ | 11 |
