Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
SEGMENT REPORTING Segment Reporting
Operating segments are components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker(s). Our three reportable segments are our geographic markets: Americas, EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) and Asia Pacific. Each market represents a strategic business unit providing consulting and managed services to clients across different industries.
Our chief operating decision makers are our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer who evaluate our reportable segments based on segment revenue and operating income. Company resources are aligned to reportable segments based on market demand.
Information regarding our geographic markets is as follows. Amounts are attributed to geographic markets based on where clients are located. Our expenses primarily consist of employee compensation costs, subcontractor costs and facilities and technology costs.
