Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
Reorganization and Business Transformation	Reorganization and Business Transformation In September 2020, the Company offered a voluntary separation program ("VSP") to certain tenured employees. This global program was generally made available to active employees in good standing who (1) were at least 55 years old as of October 1, 2020 and (2) had at least ten years of service with Teradata. This program was implemented as part of the Company's efforts to improve its cost structure. The Company accrued a liability and recognized costs of $27 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 for the VSP. A majority of the benefits will be paid within a nominal period. Certain benefits are being expensed over the time period that the employees have to work to earn them to the extent the required service period extends beyond the nominal period. The Company estimates that it will incur total costs and charges of approximately $32 million related to VSP and expects that majority of the actions will be completed in fourth quarter of 2020. No cash was paid out for the VSP during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
