Includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the Entity may deposit additional funds at any time and also effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months. Compensating balance arrangements that do not legally restrict the withdrawal or usage of cash amounts may be reported as Cash and Cash Equivalents, while legally restricted deposits held as compensating balances against borrowing arrangements, contracts entered into with others, or company statements of intention with regard to particular deposits are not generally reported as cash and cash equivalents.

Includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the Entity may deposit additional funds at any time and also effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months. Compensating balance arrangements that do not legally restrict the withdrawal or usage of cash amounts may be reported as Cash and Cash Equivalents, while legally restricted deposits held as compensating balances against borrowing arrangements, contracts entered into with others, or company statements of intention with regard to particular deposits are not generally reported as cash and cash equivalents.

| Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
| Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies | 1. Summary of significant accounting policies Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all majority-owned subsidiaries. Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses. Such estimates include the valuation of accounts receivables, inventories, outsourcing assets, marketable software, goodwill and other long-lived assets, legal contingencies, indemnifications, and assumptions used in the calculation for systems integration projects, income taxes and retirement and other post-employment benefits, among others. These estimates and assumptions are based on management's best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Management adjusts such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in those estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the financial statements in future periods. Cash equivalents All short-term investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less and certificates of deposits which may be withdrawn at any time at the discretion of the company without penalty are classified as cash equivalents. Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out method. Properties Properties are carried at cost and are depreciated over the estimated lives of such assets using the straight-line method. The estimated lives used, in years, are as follows: buildings, 20 – 50; machinery and office equipment, 4 – 7; rental equipment, 4; and internal-use software, 3 – 10. Advertising costs All advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The amount charged to expense during 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $.9 million, $.6 million and $1.6 million, respectively. Shipping and handling Costs related to shipping and handling is included in cost of revenue. Revenue recognition Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable. Revenue from hardware sales with standard payment terms is recognized upon the passage of title and the transfer of risk of loss. Outside the United States, the company recognizes revenue even if it retains a form of title to products delivered to customers, provided the sole purpose is to enable the company to recover the products in the event of customer payment default and the arrangement does not prohibit the customer's use of the product in the ordinary course of business. Revenue from software licenses with standard payment terms is recognized at the inception of the initial license term and upon execution of an extension to the license term. The company also enters into multiple-element arrangements, which may include any combination of hardware, software or services. For example, a client may purchase an enterprise server that includes operating system software. In addition, the arrangement may include post-contract support for the software and a contract for post-warranty maintenance for service of the hardware. These arrangements consist of multiple deliverables, with hardware and software delivered in one reporting period and the software support and hardware maintenance services delivered across multiple reporting periods. In another example, the company may provide desktop managed services to a client on a long term multiple year basis and periodically sell hardware and software products to the client. The services are provided on a continuous basis across multiple reporting periods and the hardware and software products are delivered in one reporting period. To the extent that a deliverable in a multiple-deliverable arrangement is subject to specific guidance, that deliverable is accounted for in accordance with such specific guidance. Examples of such arrangements may include leased hardware which is subject to specific leasing guidance or software which is subject to specific software revenue recognition guidance. In these transactions, the company allocates the total revenue to be earned under the arrangement among the various elements based on a selling price hierarchy. The selling price for a deliverable is based on its vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) if available, third party evidence (TPE) if VSOE is not available, or the best estimated selling price (ESP) if neither VSOE nor TPE is available. VSOE of selling price is based upon the normal pricing and discounting practices for those products and services when sold separately. TPE of selling price is based on evaluating largely similar and interchangeable competitor products or services in standalone sales to similarly situated customers. ESP is established considering factors such as margin objectives, discounts off of list prices, market conditions, competition and other factors. ESP represents the price at which the company would transact for the deliverable if it were sold by the company regularly on a standalone basis. For multiple-element arrangements that involve the licensing, selling or leasing of software, for software and software-related elements, the allocation of revenue is based on VSOE. There may be cases in which there is VSOE of selling price of the undelivered elements but no such evidence for the delivered elements. In these cases, the residual method is used to allocate the arrangement consideration. Under the residual method, the amount of consideration allocated to the delivered elements equals the total arrangement consideration less the aggregate VSOE of selling price of the undelivered elements. For multiple-element arrangements for products or services that (a) do not include the licensing, selling or leasing of software, or (b) contain software that is incidental to the products or services as a whole or (c) contain software components that are sold, licensed or leased with tangible products when the software components and non-software components (i.e., the hardware and software) of the tangible product function together to deliver the tangible product's essential functionality (e.g., sales of the company's enterprise-class servers including hardware and software), the allocation of revenue is based on the relative selling prices of each of the deliverables in the arrangement based on the selling price hierarchy, discussed above. The company recognizes revenue on delivered elements only if: (a) any undelivered products or services are not essential to the functionality of the delivered products or services, (b) the company has an enforceable claim to receive the amount due in the event it does not deliver the undelivered products or services, (c) there is evidence of the selling price for each undelivered products or services, and (d) the revenue recognition criteria otherwise have been met for the delivered elements. Otherwise, revenue on delivered elements is recognized as the undelivered elements are delivered. The company evaluates each deliverable in an arrangement to determine whether they represent separate units of accounting. A delivered element constitutes a separate unit of accounting when it has standalone value and there is no customer-negotiated refund or return rights for the delivered elements. If these criteria are not met, the deliverable is combined with the undelivered elements and the allocation of the arrangement consideration and revenue recognition are determined for the combined unit as a single unit. Revenue from hardware sales and software licenses with extended payment terms is recognized as payments from customers become due (assuming that all other conditions for revenue recognition have been satisfied). Revenue for operating leases is recognized on a monthly basis over the term of the lease and for sales-type leases at the inception of the lease term. Revenue from equipment and software maintenance and post-contract support is recognized on a straight-line basis as earned over the terms of the respective contracts. Cost related to such contracts is recognized as incurred. Revenue and profit under systems integration contracts are recognized either on the percentage-of-completion method of accounting using the cost-to-cost method, or when services have been performed, depending on the nature of the project. For contracts accounted for on the percentage-of-completion basis, revenue and profit recognized in any given accounting period are based on estimates of total projected contract costs. The estimates are continually reevaluated and revised, when necessary, throughout the life of a contract. Any adjustments to revenue and profit resulting from changes in estimates are accounted for in the period of the change in estimate. When estimates indicate that a loss will be incurred on a contract upon completion, a provision for the expected loss is recorded in the period in which the loss becomes evident. Revenue from time and materials service contracts and outsourcing contracts is recognized as the services are provided using either an objective measure of output or on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract.
Income taxes Income taxes are based on income before taxes for financial reporting purposes and reflect a current tax liability for the estimated taxes payable in the current-year tax return and changes in deferred taxes. Deferred tax assets or liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax laws and rates. A valuation allowance is provided on deferred tax assets if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the asset will not be realized. The company has elected the policy of not providing for intra-period tax allocations between pretax earnings and other comprehensive income in instances where there is no net tax provision. This determination is made for each tax jurisdiction. The company recognizes penalties and interest accrued related to income tax liabilities in provision for income taxes in its consolidated statements of income.
Marketable software The cost of development of computer software to be sold or leased, incurred subsequent to establishment of technological feasibility, is capitalized and amortized to cost of sales over the estimated revenue-producing lives of the products, but not in excess of three years following product release. The company performs quarterly reviews to ensure that unamortized costs remain recoverable from future revenue. Internal-use software The company capitalizes certain internal and external costs incurred to acquire or create internal-use software, principally related to software coding, designing system interfaces, and installation and testing of the software. These costs are amortized in accordance with the fixed asset policy described above. Outsourcing assets Costs on outsourcing contracts are generally expensed as incurred. However, certain costs incurred upon initiation of an outsourcing contract are deferred and expensed over the initial contract life. These costs consist principally of initial customer setup and employment obligations related to employees hired under terms of the outsourcing contracts. Additionally, marketable software development costs incurred to develop specific application software for outsourcing are capitalized once technological feasibility has been established. Capitalized software used in outsourcing arrangements is amortized based on current and estimated future revenue from the product. The amortization expense is not less than straight-line amortization expense over the product's useful life. Fixed assets acquired in connection with outsourcing contracts are capitalized and depreciated over the shorter of the initial contract life or in accordance with the fixed asset policy described above. Recoverability of outsourcing assets is subject to various business risks, including the timely completion and ultimate cost of the outsourcing solution, realization of expected profitability of existing outsourcing contracts and obtaining additional outsourcing customers. The company quarterly compares the carrying value of the outsourcing assets with the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the outsourcing assets to determine if there is impairment. If impaired, the outsourcing assets are reduced to an estimated fair value on a discounted cash flow basis. The company prepares its cash flow estimates based on assumptions that it believes to be reasonable but are also inherently uncertain. Actual future cash flows could differ from these estimates.
Translation of foreign currency The local currency is the functional currency for most of the company's international subsidiaries, and as such, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at average exchange rates during the year. Translation adjustments resulting from changes in exchange rates are reported in other comprehensive income (loss). Exchange gains and losses on intercompany balances are reported in other income (expense), net. For those international subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary economies, the U.S. dollar is the functional currency, and as such, nonmonetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical exchange rates, and monetary assets and liabilities are translated at current exchange rates. Exchange gains and losses arising from translation are included in other income (expense), net.
Stock-based compensation plans Stock-based compensation represents the cost related to stock-based awards granted to employees and directors. The company recognizes compensation expense for the fair value of stock options, which have graded vesting, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The company estimates the fair value of stock options using a Black-Scholes valuation model. The expense is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Retirement benefits Accounting rules covering defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefits require that amounts recognized in financial statements be determined on an actuarial basis. A significant element in determining the company's retirement benefits expense or income is the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets. This expected return is an assumption as to the average rate of earnings expected on the funds invested or to be invested to provide for the benefits included in the projected pension benefit obligation. The company applies this assumed long-term rate of return to a calculated value of plan assets, which recognizes changes in the fair value of plan assets in a systematic manner over four years. This produces the expected return on plan assets that is included in retirement benefits expense or income. The difference between this expected return and the actual return on plan assets is deferred. The net deferral of past asset losses or gains affects the calculated value of plan assets and, ultimately, future retirement benefits expense or income. At December 31 of each year, the company determines the fair value of its retirement benefits plan assets as well as the discount rate to be used to calculate the present value of plan liabilities. The discount rate is an estimate of the interest rate at which the retirement benefits could be effectively settled. In estimating the discount rate, the company looks to rates of return on high-quality, fixed-income investments currently available and expected to be available during the period to maturity of the retirement benefits. The company uses a portfolio of fixed-income securities, which receive at least the second-highest rating given by a recognized ratings agency.
Fair value measurements Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. When determining fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required to be recorded at fair value, the company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and also considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability. The fair value hierarchy has three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1 – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 – Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data; and Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. The company has applied fair value measurements to its derivatives (see note 12), to its postretirement plan assets (see note 16) and to its long-term debt (see note 9). |

| Discontinued Operations And Sale Of Businesses | 3. Discontinued operations and sale of businesses On April 30, 2010, the company completed the sale of its health information management (HIM) business, and on August 31, 2010, the company completed the sale of its UK-based Unisys Insurance Services Limited (UISL) business, which provided business process outsourcing (BPO) services to the UK life and pensions industry. In 2010, the company received net proceeds of $117.2 million related to the sale of HIM, UISL and the U.S. specialized technology check sorter equipment and related U.S. maintenance business (discussed below). The results of total discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 were as follows (in millions of dollars):
The results of the HIM business discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 were as follows (in millions of dollars):
* Includes results of operations through the April 30, 2010 closing date.
The results of the UISL business discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 were as follows (in millions of dollars):
* Includes results of operations through the August 31, 2010 closing date.
In connection with the sale of UISL, the company paid $19.3 million during 2011. On February 1, 2010, the company completed the sale of its U.S. specialized technology check sorter equipment and related U.S. maintenance business. In 2009, the company reported an asset impairment related to this business of $13.4 million. In 2010, the company recorded a loss on the sale of approximately $3.3 million, principally as a result of closing date working capital and other adjustments. The divested business, which had operations in both of the company's reporting segments of Services and Technology, generated 2009 revenue and pretax loss of approximately $100 million and $3 million, respectively. In December 2011, the company signed an agreement to sell its South African subsidiary. The sale is expected to close in the first half of 2012 and result in a gain. At December 31, 2011, the assets and liabilities of this subsidiary were reported as held for sale in the company's consolidated balance sheet as follows: approximately $11 million in "prepaid expenses and other current assets" and approximately $15 million in "other accrued liabilities." The subsidiary, which has operations in both of the company's reporting segments of Services and Technology, generated 2011 revenue and pretax income of approximately $40 million and $8 million, respectively. |

| Recent Accounting Pronouncements And Accounting Changes [Abstract] | |
| Recent Accounting Pronouncements And Accounting Changes | 5. Recent accounting pronouncements and accounting changes Effective January 1, 2011, the company adopted two accounting standards issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) that amend revenue recognition guidance. The first standard supersedes certain prior accounting guidance and requires an entity to allocate arrangement consideration at the inception of an arrangement to all of its deliverables based on their relative standalone selling prices (i.e., the relative-selling-price method). The standard eliminates the use of the residual method of allocation and requires the relative-selling-price method in all circumstances in which an entity recognizes revenue for an arrangement with multiple deliverables subject to this standard. The second standard amends prior software revenue recognition accounting guidance by excluding from the scope of such prior guidance tangible products that contain both software elements and non-software elements that function together to deliver the tangible product's essential functionality. The company has adopted the new standards prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified on or after January 1, 2011. In certain of the company's arrangements, revenue was previously deferred for certain deliverables included in multiple element arrangements where the arrangements also included undelivered services for which the company was unable to demonstrate fair value pursuant to previous standards. The new standards require deliverables for which revenue was previously deferred to be separated and recognized as delivered, rather than combined with undelivered items and recognized over the longest service delivery period. If the new standards were applied to transactions entered into or materially modified in the year ended December 31, 2010, it would not have resulted in a material change to the company's reported revenue for 2010. The company is not able to reasonably estimate the effect of adopting these standards on future periods as the impact will vary based on the nature and volume of new or materially modified deals in any given period. On October 1, 2011, the company adopted FASB amendments issued in September 2011 to authoritative accounting guidance to simplify how companies test for goodwill impairment. The amendments permit a company to continue to perform quantitative analyses or to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not (defined as having a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described by current accounting rules. Previous accounting guidance required an entity to test goodwill for impairment, on at least an annual basis, by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then a second step of the test must be performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. Under the amendments, a company is not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the company determines that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. Adoption of the amendments did not have a material impact to the company's consolidated financial statements. In June 2011, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that amends previous guidance for the presentation of comprehensive income. It eliminates the current option to present other comprehensive income in the statement of changes in equity. Under this revised guidance, an entity will have the option to present the components of net income and other comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive financial statements. The new standard is to be applied retrospectively and is effective for the company beginning in the first quarter of 2012. The company is currently evaluating the alternatives for adopting the guidance. Other than the change in presentation, the company has determined that these changes will not have an impact on its consolidated financial statements. In May 2011, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that amends previous guidance for fair value measurement and disclosure requirements. The revised guidance changes certain fair value measurement principles, clarifies the application of existing fair value measurements and expands the disclosure requirements, particularly for Level 3 fair value measurements. This standard is effective for the company beginning in the first quarter of 2012. The company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance, but does not anticipate a material impact to its consolidated financial statements upon adoption. |

| Accounts Receivable [Abstract] | |
| Accounts Receivable | 6. Accounts receivable Accounts receivable consist principally of trade accounts receivable from customers and are generally unsecured and due within 30 days. Credit losses relating to these receivables consistently have been within management's expectations. Expected credit losses are recorded as an allowance for doubtful accounts in the consolidated balance sheets. Estimates of expected credit losses are based primarily on the aging of the accounts receivable balances. The company records a specific reserve for individual accounts when it becomes aware of a customer's inability to meet its financial obligations, such as in the case of bankruptcy filings or deterioration in the customer's operating results or financial position. The collection policies and procedures of the company vary by credit class and prior payment history of customers. Revenue recognized in excess of billings on services contracts, or unbilled accounts receivable, was $153.5 million and $189.7 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Such amounts, a portion of which are awaiting resolution of contract disputes, are included in accounts and notes receivable, net and are stated at net realizable value. Unearned income, which is deducted from accounts and notes receivable, was $4.1 million and zero at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The allowance for doubtful accounts, which is reported as a deduction from accounts and notes receivable, was $35.3 million and $37.0 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The provision for doubtful accounts, which is reported in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income, was (income) expense of $(.6) million, $(.9) million and $(1.2) million, in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Effective January 1, 2010, the company adopted a new accounting standard whereby sales under its prior U.S. trade accounts receivable securitization facility (the A/R Facility) no longer met the requirements to be treated as sales, and therefore were accounted for as secured borrowings. At December 31, 2010 and thereafter, no receivables had been sold. At December 31, 2009, receivables of $100 million were sold and therefore removed from the company's consolidated balance sheet. The company received proceeds of $1.2 billion in 2009 from sales of accounts receivable interests under the A/R Facility. The selling price of the receivables interests reflected a discount of 5.3% at December 31, 2009. The discount on the sales of these accounts receivable during the year ended December 31, 2009 was $5.6 million and was recorded in other income (expense), net in the accompanying consolidated statement of income. |

| Income Taxes | 7. Income taxes Following is the total income from continuing operations before income taxes and the continuing operations provision for income taxes for the three years ended December 31, 2011.
Following is a reconciliation of the provision for income taxes at the United States statutory tax rate to the continuing operations provision for income taxes as reported:
In 2010 and 2009, foreign rate differential and other foreign tax expense includes tax (provisions) benefits of $(2.7) million and $7.7 million, respectively, related to prior year foreign tax adjustments. The 2011 provision for income taxes includes $8.4 million due to a reduction in the UK income tax rate. The rate reduction was enacted in the third quarter of 2011, and reduced the rate from 27% to 26% effective April 1, 2011, and to 25% effective April 1, 2012. The provision of $8.4 million was caused by a write down of the UK net deferred tax assets to the 25% rate. In addition, the 2011 provision for income taxes includes a benefit of $28.3 million related to the settlement of two European tax matters. The tax effects of temporary differences and carryforwards that give rise to significant portions of deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2011 and 2010 were as follows:
At December 31, 2011, the company has U.S. Federal ($320.3 million), state and local ($248.3 million), and foreign ($232.0 million) tax loss carryforwards, the total tax effect of which is $800.6 million. These carryforwards will expire as follows (in millions): 2012, $11.3; 2013, $4.6; 2014, $5.8; 2015, $11.5; 2016, $25.4; and $742.0 thereafter. The company also has available tax credit carryforwards of approximately $697.5 million, which will expire as follows (in millions): 2012, $67.1; 2013, $46.4; 2014, $23.2; 2015, $22.4; 2016, $31.1; and $507.3 thereafter.
Failure to achieve forecasted taxable income might affect the ultimate realization of the company's net deferred tax assets. Factors that may affect the company's ability to achieve sufficient forecasted taxable income include, but are not limited to, the following: increased competition, a decline in sales or margins, loss of market share, the impact of the economic environment, delays in product availability and technological obsolescence. Cumulative undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries, for which no U.S. income or foreign withholding taxes have been recorded, approximated $965 million at December 31, 2011. As the company currently intends to indefinitely reinvest all such earnings, no provision has been made for income taxes that may become payable upon distribution of such earnings, and it is not practicable to determine the amount of the related unrecognized deferred income tax liability. Cash paid, net of refunds, during 2011, 2010 and 2009 for income taxes was $74.9 million, $52.7 million and $58.2 million, respectively. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:
The company recognizes penalties and interest accrued related to income tax liabilities in the provision for income taxes in its consolidated statements of income. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the company had an accrual of $1.0 million and $.9 million, respectively, for the payment of penalties and interest. At December 31, 2011, all of the company's liability for unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would affect the company's effective tax rate. Within the next 12 months, the company believes that it is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits may significantly change; however, various events could cause this belief to change in the future. The company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various states and foreign jurisdictions. The company has concluded a U.S. federal income tax audit of the years 2000-2003 with no material impact. Several U.S. state and foreign income tax audits are in process. There are currently no income tax audits in process in either Brazil or the United Kingdom, which are the most significant jurisdictions outside the U.S. For Brazil, the audit period through 2005 is closed and for the United Kingdom, the audit period through 2008 is closed. All of the various ongoing income tax audits throughout the world are not expected to have a material impact on the company's financial position. Internal Revenue Code Sections 382 and 383 provide annual limitations with respect to the ability of a corporation to utilize its net operating loss (as well as certain built-in losses) and tax credit carryforwards, respectively (Tax Attributes), against future U.S. taxable income, if the corporation experiences an "ownership change." In general terms, an ownership change may result from transactions increasing the ownership of certain stockholders in the stock of a corporation by more than 50 percentage points over a three-year period. The company regularly monitors ownership changes (as calculated for purposes of Section 382). Based on currently available information, the company believes that an ownership change may have occurred during 2011, for purposes of the rules described above. However, the final determination of whether an ownership change has occurred is currently subject to a number of discretionary tax rules and final reporting by shareholders. Moreover, any future transaction or transactions and the timing of such transaction or transactions could trigger additional ownership changes under Section 382. In the event of an ownership change, utilization of the company's Tax Attributes will be subject to an estimated overall annual limitation determined in part by multiplying the total adjusted aggregate market value of the company's common stock immediately preceding the ownership change by the applicable long-term tax-exempt rate, possibly subject to increase based on the built-in gain, if any, in the company's assets at the time of the ownership change. Any unused annual limitation may be carried over to later years. Future U.S. taxable income may not be fully offset by existing Tax Attributes, if such income exceeds the company's annual limitation. However, based on presently available information and the existence of tax planning strategies, currently the company does not expect to incur a cash tax liability in the near term. The company maintains a full valuation allowance against the realization of all U.S. deferred tax assets as well as certain foreign deferred tax assets in excess of deferred tax liabilities. |

| Debt [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Debt | 9. Debt Long-term debt is comprised of the following:
Total long-term debt maturities in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 are $.9 million, $ .3 million, $186.2 million, $25.5 million and $150.6 million, respectively. Cash paid during 2011, 2010 and 2009 for interest was $82.8 million, $111.9 million and $97.6 million, respectively. Capitalized interest expense during 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $4.9 million, $9.1 million and $7.5 million, respectively. On March 30, 2011, the net proceeds from the sale of mandatory convertible preferred stock (see note 17) were used to redeem an aggregate principal amount of $124.7 million of the company's senior secured notes due 2014 and an aggregate principal amount of $86.3 million of the company's senior secured notes due 2015 under the provisions of the indentures relating to the notes that allow the company to redeem, at its option, up to 35% of the original principal amount of each series of notes from the net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings. As a result of these redemptions, the company recognized a charge of $31.8 million in "Other income (expense), net" in the three months ended March 31, 2011, which was comprised of $28.2 million of premium paid and $3.6 million for the write off of unamortized discounts, issuance costs and gains related to the portion of the notes redeemed. On April 11, 2011, the company purchased $44.1 million of its senior secured notes due 2014 and $134.8 million of its senior secured notes due 2015 that had been tendered into a cash tender offer conducted by the company. As a result of this purchase of notes, the company recognized a charge of $45.7 million in "Other income (expense), net" in the three months ended June 30, 2011, which is comprised of $42.2 million of premium and expenses paid and $3.5 million for the write off of unamortized discounts, issuance costs and gains related to the portion of the notes purchased. On November 21, 2011, the company purchased in the open market $20.0 million of its senior secured notes due 2014. As a result, the company recognized a charge of $3.2 million in "Other income (expense), net" in the three months ended December 31, 2011, which is comprised of $3.0 million of premium paid and $.2 million for the write off of unamortized discounts, issuance costs and gains related to the portion of the notes purchased.
On November 25, 2011, the company redeemed all of the remaining $65.9 million of its 8% senior notes due 2012. As a result of the redemption, the company recognized a charge of $4.4 million in "Other income (expense), net", which is comprised of $4.3 million of premium and expenses paid and $.1 million for the write off of unamortized issuance costs. On June 23, 2011, the company entered into a new, five-year, secured revolving credit facility to replace the company's $150 million U.S. trade accounts receivable securitization facility that terminated on that date. The new credit agreement provides for loans and letters of credit up to an aggregate amount of $150 million (with a limit on letters of credit of $100 million). The prior accounts receivable securitization facility had not provided for letters of credit. Borrowing limits under the new credit agreement are based upon the amount of eligible U.S. accounts receivable. At December 31, 2011, the company had no borrowings and $29.8 million of letters of credit outstanding under the facility. At December 31, 2011, availability under the facility was $85.8 million net of letters of credit issued. Borrowings under the facility will bear interest based on short-term rates. The credit agreement contains customary representations and warranties, including that there has been no material adverse change in the company's business, properties, operations or financial condition. It also contains financial covenants requiring the company to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and, if the company's consolidated cash plus availability under the credit facility falls below $130 million, a maximum secured leverage ratio. The credit agreement allows the company to pay dividends on its preferred stock unless the company is in default and to, among other things, repurchase its equity, prepay other debt, incur other debt or liens, dispose of assets and make acquisitions, loans and investments, provided the company complies with certain requirements and limitations set forth in the agreement. Events of default include non-payment, failure to perform covenants, materially incorrect representations and warranties, change of control and default under other debt aggregating at least $50 million. The credit facility is guaranteed by Unisys Holding Corporation, Unisys NPL, Inc. and any future material domestic subsidiaries. The facility is secured on a first priority basis by certain assets of Unisys Corporation and the subsidiary guarantors consisting primarily of the U.S. trade accounts receivable of Unisys Corporation. It is secured on a junior basis (to the senior secured notes due 2014 and 2015) by the other assets of Unisys Corporation and the subsidiary guarantors, other than certain excluded assets. The company may elect to prepay or terminate the credit facility without penalty. At December 31, 2011, the company has met all covenants and conditions under its various lending agreements. The company expects to continue to meet these covenants and conditions. The company's principal sources of liquidity are cash on hand, cash from operations and its new five-year revolving credit facility, discussed above, which has replaced the company's U.S. trade accounts receivable facility. The company and certain international subsidiaries have access to uncommitted lines of credit from various banks. The company's anticipated future cash expenditures include anticipated contributions to its defined benefit pension plans. The company believes that it has adequate sources of liquidity to meet its expected 2012 cash requirements. |

| Rental Expense And Commitments [Abstract] | |
| Rental Expense And Commitments | 11. Rental expense and commitments Rental expense, less income from subleases, for 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $97.9 million, $100.4 million and $104.5 million, respectively. Income from subleases, for 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $9.8 million, $11.2 million and $14.6 million, respectively. Minimum net rental commitments under noncancelable operating leases, including idle leases, outstanding at December 31, 2011, substantially all of which relate to real properties, were as follows: 2012, $67.8 million; 2013, $56.3 million; 2014, $46.5 million; 2015, $37.2 million; 2016, $26.3 million; and $63.2 million thereafter. Such rental commitments have been reduced by minimum sublease rentals of $39.6 million, due in the future under noncancelable subleases. Included in the net rental commitments at December 31, 2011 is $9.4 million related to idle leases. At December 31, 2011, the company had outstanding standby letters of credit and surety bonds of approximately $324 million related to performance and payment guarantees. On the basis of experience with these arrangements, the company believes that any obligations that may arise will not be material. In addition, at December 31, 2011, the company had deposits and collateral of approximately $57 million in other long-term assets, principally related to collateralized letters of credit, and to tax and labor contingencies in Brazil. |

| Financial Instruments And Concentration Of Credit Risks [Abstract] | |
| Financial Instruments And Concentration Of Credit Risks | 12. Financial instruments and concentration of credit risks Due to its foreign operations, the company is exposed to the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on the U.S. dollar, principally related to intercompany account balances. The company uses derivative financial instruments to reduce its exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates on such balances. The company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts, generally having maturities of one month, which have not been designated as hedging instruments. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the notional amount of these contracts was $130.9 million and $26.2 million, respectively and the fair value of such contracts was a net gain of $.8 million and a net gain of $.5 million, respectively, of which a gain of $.9 million and $.5 million, respectively, has been recognized in "Prepaid expenses and other current assets" and a loss of $.1 million and zero, respectively, has been recognized in "Other accrued liabilities." Changes in the fair value of these instruments was a gain of $3.3 million, a gain of $.6 million and a loss of $.3 million, respectively, for years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, which has been recognized in earnings in "Other income (expense), net" in the company's consolidated statement of income. The fair value of these forward contracts is based on quoted prices for similar but not identical financial instruments; as such, the inputs are considered Level 2 inputs. Financial instruments also include temporary cash investments and customer accounts receivable. Temporary investments are placed with creditworthy financial institutions, primarily in money market funds, time deposits and certificate of deposits which may be withdrawn at any time at the discretion of the company without penalty. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the company's cash equivalents principally have maturities of less than one month or can be withdrawn at any time at the discretion of the company without penalty. Due to the short maturities of these instruments, they are carried on the consolidated balance sheets at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates market value. Realized gains or losses during 2011, 2010 and 2009, as well as unrealized gains or losses at December 31, 2011 and 2010, were immaterial. Receivables are due from a large number of customers that are dispersed worldwide across many industries. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the company had no significant concentrations of credit risk with any one customer. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the company had approximately $140 million and $156 million, respectively, of receivables due from various U.S. federal governmental agencies. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents and notes payable approximated fair value; and the carrying amount of long-term debt was less than the fair value, which is based on market prices (Level 2 inputs), of such debt by approximately $37 million and $140 million, respectively. |

| Foreign Currency Translation [Abstract] | |
| Foreign Currency Translation | 13. Foreign currency translation Due to cumulative inflation of approximately 100 percent or more over the last 3-year period, the company's Venezuelan subsidiary has applied highly inflationary accounting beginning January 1, 2010. For those international subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary economies, the U.S. dollar is the functional currency, and as such, nonmonetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical exchange rates, and monetary assets and liabilities are translated at current exchange rates. Exchange gains and losses arising from translation are included in other income (expense), net. Effective January 11, 2010, the Venezuelan government devalued the Bolivar Fuerte by 50 percent by resetting the official exchange rate from 2.15 to the U.S. dollar to 4.30 to the U.S. dollar. As a result, the company recorded a foreign exchange loss in the first quarter of 2010 of approximately $20 million. The company has used and continues to use the official exchange rate for translation purposes. At December 31, 2011, the company's operations in Venezuela had net monetary assets denominated in local currency of approximately $19 million. During the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the company recognized foreign exchange gains (losses) in "Other income (expense), net" in its consolidated statements of income of $17.2 million, $(43.4) million and $(12.5) million, respectively. |

Litigation And Contingencies

| Litigation And Contingencies [Abstract] | |
| Litigation And Contingencies | 14. Litigation and contingencies There are various lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings that have been brought or asserted against the company, which arise in the ordinary course of business, including actions with respect to commercial and government contracts, labor and employment, employee benefits, environmental matters, intellectual property, and non-income tax and employment compensation in Brazil. The company records a provision for these matters when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Any provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and are adjusted to reflect the impact and status of settlements, rulings, advice of counsel and other information and events pertinent to a particular matter. The company believes that it has valid defenses with respect to legal matters pending against it. Based on its experience, the company also believes that the damage amounts claimed in the lawsuits disclosed below are not a meaningful indicator of the company's potential liability. Litigation is inherently unpredictable, however, and it is possible that the company's results of operations or cash flow could be materially affected in any particular period by the resolution of one or more of the legal matters pending against it. The company had a competitively awarded contract with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) that provided for the establishment of secure information technology environments in airports. The Civil Division of the Department of Justice, working with the Inspector General's Office of the Department of Homeland Security, is reviewing issues relating to labor categorization and overtime on the TSA contract. The Civil Division is also reviewing issues relating to cyber intrusion protection under the TSA and follow-on contracts. The company is working cooperatively with TSA and the Civil Division. The company has commenced preliminary settlement discussions with these government agencies regarding labor categorization and overtime. The company cannot now predict the duration or outcome of these discussions. The company has contracts with the General Services Administration (GSA), known as Multiple Award Schedule Contracts, under which various U.S. governmental agencies can purchase products and services from the company. Auditors from the GSA's Office of Inspector General have been reviewing the company's compliance with the disclosure and pricing provisions under one of these contracts, and whether the company has potentially overcharged the government under the contract. Separately, the company has made a voluntary disclosure about this matter to the responsible GSA contracting officer. The company has provided pricing and other information to the GSA auditors and is working cooperatively with them. The company cannot predict the outcome at this time. In April 2007, the Ministry of Justice of Belgium sued Unisys Belgium SA-NV, a Unisys subsidiary (Unisys Belgium), in the Court of First Instance of Brussels. The Belgian government had engaged the company to design and develop software for a computerized system to be used to manage the Belgian court system. The Belgian State terminated the contract and in its lawsuit has alleged that the termination was justified because Unisys Belgium failed to deliver satisfactory software in a timely manner. It claims damages of approximately 28 million Euros. Unisys Belgium has filed its defense and counterclaim in the amount of approximately 18.5 million Euros. The company believes it has valid defenses to the claims and contends that the Belgian State's termination of the contract was unjustified. In December 2007, Lufthansa AG sued Unisys Deutschland GmbH, a Unisys subsidiary (Unisys Germany), in the District Court of Frankfurt, Germany, for allegedly failing to perform properly its obligations during the initial phase of a 2004 software design and development contract relating to a Lufthansa customer loyalty program. Under the contract, either party was free to withdraw from the project at the conclusion of the initial design phase. Rather than withdraw, Lufthansa instead terminated the contract and failed to pay the balance owed to Unisys Germany for the initial phase. Lufthansa's lawsuit alleges that Unisys Germany breached the contract by failing to deliver a proper design for the new system and seeks approximately 21.4 million Euros in damages. The company believes it has valid defenses and has filed its defense and a counterclaim in the amount of approximately 1.5 million Euros. The litigation is proceeding. The company's Brazilian operations, along with those of many other companies doing business in Brazil, are involved in various litigation matters, including numerous governmental assessments related to indirect and other taxes, as well as disputes associated with former employees and contract labor. The tax-related matters pertain to value added taxes, customs, duties, sales and other non-income related tax exposures. The labor-related matters include claims related to compensation matters. The company believes that appropriate accruals have been established for such matters based on information currently available. At December 31, 2011, excluding those matters that have been assessed by management as being remote as to the likelihood of ultimately resulting in a loss, the amount related to unreserved tax-related matters, inclusive of any related interest, is estimated to be up to approximately $140 million. At December 31, 2011, the amount related to unreserved labor-related matters cannot be estimated. Litigation is inherently unpredictable and unfavorable resolutions could occur. Accordingly, it is possible that an adverse outcome from such matters could exceed the amounts accrued in an amount that could be material to the company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in any particular reporting period. Notwithstanding that the ultimate results of the lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings that have been brought or asserted against the company are not currently determinable, the company believes that at December 31, 2011, it has adequate provisions for any such matters. |

| Segment Information | 15. Segment information The company has two business segments: Services and Technology. The products and services of each segment are marketed throughout the world to commercial businesses and governments. Revenue classifications by segment are as follows: Services – systems integration and consulting, outsourcing, infrastructure services and core maintenance; Technology – enterprise-class software and servers and other technology. The accounting policies of each business segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Intersegment sales and transfers are priced as if the sales or transfers were to third parties. Accordingly, the Technology segment recognizes intersegment revenue and manufacturing profit on hardware and software shipments to customers under Services contracts. The Services segment, in turn, recognizes customer revenue and marketing profit on such shipments of company hardware and software to customers. The Services segment also includes hardware and software products sourced from third parties that are sold to customers through the company's Services channels. In the company's consolidated statements of income, the manufacturing costs of products sourced from the Technology segment and sold to Services customers are reported in cost of revenue for Services. Also included in the Technology segment's sales and operating profit are sales of hardware and software sold to the Services segment for internal use in Services engagements. The amount of such profit included in operating income of the Technology segment for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, was $8.2 million, $7.2 million and $14.8 million, respectively. The profit on these transactions is eliminated in Corporate. The company evaluates business segment performance on operating income exclusive of restructuring charges and unusual and nonrecurring items, which are included in Corporate. Effective January 1, 2011, the company changed the measurement of segment performance that it evaluates to exclude pension income or expense. Prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the 2011 presentation. All other corporate and centrally incurred costs are allocated to the business segments, based principally on revenue, employees, square footage or usage.
No single customer accounts for more than 10% of revenue. Revenue from various agencies of the U.S. Government, which is reported in both business segments, was approximately $652 million, $842 million and $927 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Corporate assets are principally cash and cash equivalents, prepaid postretirement assets and deferred income taxes. The expense or income related to corporate assets is allocated to the business segments. In 2009, corporate assets include an offset for interests in accounts receivable that have been recorded as sales, because such receivables were included in the assets of the business segments. Customer revenue by classes of similar products or services, by segment, is presented below:
Presented below is a reconciliation of segment operating income to consolidated income from continuing operations before income taxes:

| Employee Plans | 16. Employee plans Stock plans Under stockholder approved stock-based plans, stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units may be granted to officers, directors and other key employees. At December 31, 2011, 4.8 million shares of unissued common stock of the company were available for granting under these plans.
As of December 31, 2011, the company has granted non-qualified stock options and restricted stock units under these plans. The company recognizes compensation cost net of a forfeiture rate in selling, general and administrative expenses, and recognizes the compensation cost for only those awards expected to vest. The company estimates the forfeiture rate based on its historical experience and its expectations about future forfeitures. The company's employee stock option and time-based restricted stock unit grants include a provision that if termination of employment occurs after the participant has attained age 55 and completed 5 years of service with the company, the participant shall continue to vest in each of his or her awards in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the applicable award agreement. Compensation expense for such awards is recognized over the period to the date the employee first becomes eligible for retirement. Time-based restricted stock unit grants for the company's directors vest upon award and compensation expense for such awards is recognized upon grant. Options have been granted to purchase the company's common stock at an exercise price equal to or greater than the fair market value at the date of grant, generally have a maximum duration of five years and become exercisable in annual installments over a three-year period following date of grant. During the year ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the company recognized $13.9 million, $9.4 million and $.7 million of share-based compensation expense, which is comprised of $4.9 million, $3.9 million and $(1.4) million of restricted stock unit expense (income) and $9.0 million, $5.5 million and $2.1 million of stock option expense, respectively. In 2009, the company reversed $2.4 million of previously-accrued compensation expense related to performance-based restricted stock units due to a change in the assessment of the achievability of the performance goals. In addition, during 2009, the company reversed $2.6 million of previously-accrued share-based compensation principally related to employees terminated in prior periods. For stock options, the fair value is estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Principal assumptions used are as follows: (a) expected volatility for the company's stock price is based on historical volatility and implied market volatility, (b) historical exercise data is used to estimate the options' expected term, which represents the period of time that the options granted are expected to be outstanding, and (c) the risk-free interest rate is the rate on zero-coupon U.S. government issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the options. The company recognizes compensation expense for the fair value of stock options, which have graded vesting, on the straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards. The compensation expense recognized as of any date must be at least equal to the portion of the grant-date fair value that is vested at that date. The fair value of stock option awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions and weighted-average fair values as follows:
A summary of stock option activity for the year ended December 31, 2011 follows (shares in thousands):
The aggregate intrinsic value represents the total pretax value of the difference between the company's closing stock price on the last trading day of the period and the exercise price of the options, multiplied by the number of in-the-money stock options that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on December 31, 2011. The intrinsic value of the company's stock options changes based on the closing price of the company's stock. The total intrinsic value of options exercised for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $4.4 million, $5.9 million and zero, respectively. As of December 31, 2011, $8.6 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years. Restricted stock unit awards may contain time-based units, performance-based units or a combination of both. Each performance-based unit will vest into zero to 1.5 shares depending on the degree to which the performance goals are met. Compensation expense resulting from these awards is recognized as expense ratably for each installment from the date of grant until the date the restrictions lapse and is based on the fair market value at the date of grant and the probability of achievement of the specific performance-related goals. A summary of restricted stock unit activity for the year ended December 31, 2011 follows (shares in thousands):
The fair value of restricted stock units is determined based on the trading price of the company's common shares on the date of grant. The aggregate weighted-average grant-date fair value of restricted stock units granted during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $11.3 million, $7.7 million and $1.1 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2011, there was $4.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding restricted stock units granted under the company's plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years. The aggregate weighted-average grant-date fair value of restricted share units vested during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $5.7 million, $4.2 million and $3.3 million, respectively. Common stock issued upon exercise of stock options or upon lapse of restrictions on restricted stock units is newly issued shares. Cash received from the exercise of stock options was $1.4 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. During 2011 and 2010, the company did not recognize any tax benefits from the exercise of stock options or upon issuance of stock upon lapse of restrictions on restricted stock units because of its tax position. Any such tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of the compensation costs recognized are classified as financing cash flows. Defined contribution and compensation plans U.S. employees are eligible to participate in an employee savings plan. Under this plan, employees may contribute a percentage of their pay for investment in various investment alternatives. Effective January 1, 2011, the company reinstated a company match to the U.S. employee savings plan, which had been suspended effective January 1, 2009. The company will match 50 percent of the first 6 percent of eligible pay contributed by participants to the plan on a before-tax basis (subject to IRS limits). The company is currently funding and expects to continue to fund the match with the company's common stock. The charge to income related to the company match for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, was $12.5 million, zero and zero, respectively. The company has defined contribution plans in certain locations outside the United States. The charge to income related to these plans was $33.7 million, $28.7 million and $26.4 million, for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. For plans outside the United States, company contributions are made in cash. The company has non-qualified compensation plans, which allow certain highly compensated employees and directors to defer the receipt of a portion of their salary, bonus and fees. Participants can earn a return on their deferred balance that is based on hypothetical investments in various investment vehicles. Changes in the market value of these investments are reflected as an adjustment to the liability with an offset to expense. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the liability to the participants of these plans was $12.0 million and $12.5 million, respectively. These amounts reflect the accumulated participant deferrals and earnings thereon as of that date. The company makes no contributions to the deferred compensation plans and remains contingently liable to the participants. Retirement benefits In 2006, the company adopted changes to its U.S. defined benefit pension plans effective December 31, 2006. The changes included ending the accrual of future benefits in the company's defined benefit pension plans for employees effective December 31, 2006. No new entrants to the plans are allowed after that date. In 2008 and 2011, the company adopted changes to certain of its U.K. defined benefit pension plans whereby effective June 30, 2008 and April 1, 2011, all future accruals of benefits under the plans ceased.
Retirement plans' funded status and amounts recognized in the company's consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2011 and 2010 follow:

Information for defined benefit retirement plans with a projected benefit obligation in excess of plan assets at December 31, 2011 and 2010 follows:
Net periodic pension cost (income) for 2011, 2010 and 2009 includes the following components:
The expected pretax amortization in 2012 of net periodic pension cost is as follows: net loss, $154.1 million; and prior service cost, $.6 million. The amortization of these items is recorded as an element of pension expense. In 2011, pension expense included amortization of $105.3 million of net losses and $.6 million of prior service cost. The company's investment policy targets and ranges for each asset category are as follows:
The company periodically reviews its asset allocation, taking into consideration plan liabilities, local regulatory requirements, plan payment streams and then-current capital market assumptions. The actual asset allocation for each plan is monitored at least quarterly, relative to the established policy targets and ranges. If the actual asset allocation is close to or out of any of the ranges, a review is conducted. Rebalancing will occur toward the target allocation, with due consideration given to the liquidity of the investments and transaction costs. The objectives of the company's investment strategies are as follows: (a) to provide a total return that, over the long term, increases the ratio of plan assets to liabilities by maximizing investment return on assets, at a level of risk deemed appropriate, (b) to maximize return on assets by investing primarily in equity securities in the U.S. and for international plans by investing in appropriate asset classes, subject to the constraints of each plan design and local regulations, (c) to diversify investments within asset classes to reduce the impact of losses in single investments, and (d) for the U.S. plan to invest in compliance with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), as amended and any subsequent applicable regulations and laws, and for international plans to invest in a prudent manner in compliance with local applicable regulations and laws.
The company sets the expected long-term rate of return based on the expected long-term return of the various asset categories in which it invests. The company considered the current expectations for future returns and the actual historical returns of each asset class. Also, since the company's investment policy is to actively manage certain asset classes where the potential exists to outperform the broader market, the expected returns for those asset classes were adjusted to reflect the expected additional returns. In 2012, the company expects to make cash contributions of approximately $241 million to its worldwide defined benefit pension plans, which is comprised of $98 million primarily for non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans and $143 million for the company's U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan. As of December 31, 2011, the following benefit payments, which reflect expected future service where applicable, are expected to be paid from the defined benefit pension plans:
Other postretirement benefits A reconciliation of the benefit obligation, fair value of the plan assets and the funded status of the postretirement benefit plan at December 31, 2011 and 2010, follows:
Net periodic postretirement benefit cost for 2011, 2010 and 2009, follows:
Weighted-average assumptions used to determine net periodic postretirement benefit cost for the years ended December 31 were as follows:
Weighted-average assumptions used to determine benefit obligation at December 31 were as follows:
The expected pretax amortization in 2012 of net periodic postretirement benefit cost is as follows: net loss, $4.3 million; and prior service cost, $1.8 million. The company reviews its asset allocation periodically, taking into consideration plan liabilities, plan payment streams and then-current capital market assumptions. The company sets the long-term expected return on asset assumption, based principally on the long-term expected return on debt securities. These return assumptions are based on a combination of current market conditions, capital market expectations of third-party investment advisors and actual historical returns of the asset classes. In 2012, the company expects to contribute approximately $23 million to its postretirement benefit plan.
A one-percentage-point change in assumed health care cost trend rates would have the following effects (in millions of dollars):
As of December 31, 2011, the following benefits are expected to be paid to or from the company's postretirement plan:
The following provides a description of the valuation methodologies and the levels of inputs used to measure fair value, and the general classification of investments in the company's U.S. and international defined benefit pension plans, and the company's other postretirement benefit plan. Level 1 – These investments include cash, common stocks, real estate investment trusts, exchange traded funds, exchange traded futures, and U.S. and U.K. government securities. These investments are valued using quoted prices in an active market. Payables and receivables are also included as Level 1 investments and are valued at face value. Level 2 – These investments include the following: Pooled Funds – These investments are comprised of money market funds and fixed income securities. The money market funds are valued at Net Asset Value (NAV) of shares held by the plans at year-end. NAV is a practical expedient for fair value. The NAV is based on the value of the underlying assets owned by the fund, minus its liabilities, divided by the number of units outstanding. The fixed income securities are valued based on quoted prices for identical or similar investments in markets that may not be active. Commingled Funds – These investments are comprised of debt or equity securities and are valued using the NAV provided by trustees of the funds. The NAV is quoted on a private market that is not active. The unit price is based on underlying investments which are traded on markets that may or may not be active.
Other Fixed Income – These investments are comprised of corporate and government fixed income investments and asset and mortgage backed securities for which there are quoted prices for identical or similar investments in markets that may not be active. Derivatives – These investments include forward exchange contracts and options, which are traded on an active market, but not on an exchange; therefore, the inputs may not be readily observable. These investments also include fixed income futures and other derivative instruments. Level 3 – These investments include the following: Real Estate and Private Equity – These investments represent interests in limited partnerships which invest in privately held companies or privately held real estate assets. Due to the nature of these investments, pricing inputs are not readily observable. Asset valuations are developed by the general partners that manage the partnerships. These valuations are based on property appraisals, utilization of market transactions that provide valuation information for comparable companies, discounted cash flows, and other methods. These valuations are reported quarterly and adjusted as necessary at year end based on cash flows within the most recent period. Insurance Contracts – These investments are insurance contracts which are generally invested in corporate and government notes and bonds and mortgages. The insurance contracts are carried at book value and adjusted to fair value based on a market value adjustment (MVA) formula determined by the insurance provider. The MVA formula is based on unobservable inputs. Commingled Funds – These investments are commingled funds, which include a fund of hedge funds and a global tactical asset allocation fund. The NAV is quoted on a private market that is not active. The unit price is based on underlying investments, which are valued based on unobservable inputs. The following table sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the plans' assets (liabilities) at fair value at December 31, 2011.
The following table sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the plans' assets (liabilities) at fair value at December 31, 2010.
The following table sets forth a summary of changes in the fair value of the plans' Level 3 assets for the year ended December 31, 2011.
The following table sets forth a summary of changes in the fair value of the plans' Level 3 assets for the year ended December 31, 2010.

| Stockholders' Equity | 17. Stockholders' equity The company has 100 million authorized shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, and 40 million shares of authorized preferred stock, par value $1 per share, issuable in series. At December 31, 2011, 21.1 million shares of unissued common stock of the company were reserved for stock-based incentive plans and convertible preferred stock. On February 28, 2011, the company sold 2,587,500 shares of 6.25% mandatory convertible preferred stock for net proceeds of $249.7 million. Each share of mandatory convertible preferred stock will automatically convert on March 1, 2014 into between 2.1899 and 2.6717 shares of the company's common stock, subject to adjustment, depending on the volume weighted average price per share of the company's common stock over the 20 consecutive trading days ending on the third trading day immediately preceding the mandatory conversion date. At any time prior to March 1, 2014, holders may elect to convert all or a portion of their shares of the mandatory convertible preferred stock at the minimum conversion rate of 2.1899 shares of the company's common stock, subject to adjustment. The company pays dividends on each share of the mandatory convertible preferred stock on a cumulative basis at an annual rate of 6.25% on the initial liquidation preference of $100 per share (equivalent to $6.25 per year per share). Dividends accrue and accumulate from the date of issuance and, to the extent the company has lawfully available funds to pay dividends and the company's Board of Directors or an authorized committee of the Board of Directors declares a dividend payable, the company will pay dividends on March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 of each year prior to March 1, 2014 in cash and on March 1, 2014 or any earlier conversion date in cash, shares of the company's common stock, or a combination thereof, at the company's election. The annualized dividend on the mandatory convertible preferred stock is approximately $16.2 million until conversion.
Comprehensive income (loss) for the three years ended December 31, 2011, includes the following components:
Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as of December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, is as follows:

|
| Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
| Principles Of Consolidation | Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all majority-owned subsidiaries. |
| Use Of Estimates | Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses. Such estimates include the valuation of accounts receivables, inventories, outsourcing assets, marketable software, goodwill and other long-lived assets, legal contingencies, indemnifications, and assumptions used in the calculation for systems integration projects, income taxes and retirement and other post-employment benefits, among others. These estimates and assumptions are based on management's best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Management adjusts such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in those estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the financial statements in future periods. |
| Cash Equivalents | Cash equivalents All short-term investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less and certificates of deposits which may be withdrawn at any time at the discretion of the company without penalty are classified as cash equivalents. |
| Inventories | Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out method. |
| Properties | Properties Properties are carried at cost and are depreciated over the estimated lives of such assets using the straight-line method. The estimated lives used, in years, are as follows: buildings, 20 – 50; machinery and office equipment, 4 – 7; rental equipment, 4; and internal-use software, 3 – 10. |
| Advertising Costs | Advertising costs All advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The amount charged to expense during 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $.9 million, $.6 million and $1.6 million, respectively. |
| Shipping And Handling Cost | Shipping and handling Costs related to shipping and handling is included in cost of revenue. |
| Revenue Recognition | Revenue recognition Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable. Revenue from hardware sales with standard payment terms is recognized upon the passage of title and the transfer of risk of loss. Outside the United States, the company recognizes revenue even if it retains a form of title to products delivered to customers, provided the sole purpose is to enable the company to recover the products in the event of customer payment default and the arrangement does not prohibit the customer's use of the product in the ordinary course of business. Revenue from software licenses with standard payment terms is recognized at the inception of the initial license term and upon execution of an extension to the license term. The company also enters into multiple-element arrangements, which may include any combination of hardware, software or services. For example, a client may purchase an enterprise server that includes operating system software. In addition, the arrangement may include post-contract support for the software and a contract for post-warranty maintenance for service of the hardware. These arrangements consist of multiple deliverables, with hardware and software delivered in one reporting period and the software support and hardware maintenance services delivered across multiple reporting periods. In another example, the company may provide desktop managed services to a client on a long term multiple year basis and periodically sell hardware and software products to the client. The services are provided on a continuous basis across multiple reporting periods and the hardware and software products are delivered in one reporting period. To the extent that a deliverable in a multiple-deliverable arrangement is subject to specific guidance, that deliverable is accounted for in accordance with such specific guidance. Examples of such arrangements may include leased hardware which is subject to specific leasing guidance or software which is subject to specific software revenue recognition guidance. In these transactions, the company allocates the total revenue to be earned under the arrangement among the various elements based on a selling price hierarchy. The selling price for a deliverable is based on its vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) if available, third party evidence (TPE) if VSOE is not available, or the best estimated selling price (ESP) if neither VSOE nor TPE is available. VSOE of selling price is based upon the normal pricing and discounting practices for those products and services when sold separately. TPE of selling price is based on evaluating largely similar and interchangeable competitor products or services in standalone sales to similarly situated customers. ESP is established considering factors such as margin objectives, discounts off of list prices, market conditions, competition and other factors. ESP represents the price at which the company would transact for the deliverable if it were sold by the company regularly on a standalone basis. For multiple-element arrangements that involve the licensing, selling or leasing of software, for software and software-related elements, the allocation of revenue is based on VSOE. There may be cases in which there is VSOE of selling price of the undelivered elements but no such evidence for the delivered elements. In these cases, the residual method is used to allocate the arrangement consideration. Under the residual method, the amount of consideration allocated to the delivered elements equals the total arrangement consideration less the aggregate VSOE of selling price of the undelivered elements. For multiple-element arrangements for products or services that (a) do not include the licensing, selling or leasing of software, or (b) contain software that is incidental to the products or services as a whole or (c) contain software components that are sold, licensed or leased with tangible products when the software components and non-software components (i.e., the hardware and software) of the tangible product function together to deliver the tangible product's essential functionality (e.g., sales of the company's enterprise-class servers including hardware and software), the allocation of revenue is based on the relative selling prices of each of the deliverables in the arrangement based on the selling price hierarchy, discussed above. The company recognizes revenue on delivered elements only if: (a) any undelivered products or services are not essential to the functionality of the delivered products or services, (b) the company has an enforceable claim to receive the amount due in the event it does not deliver the undelivered products or services, (c) there is evidence of the selling price for each undelivered products or services, and (d) the revenue recognition criteria otherwise have been met for the delivered elements. Otherwise, revenue on delivered elements is recognized as the undelivered elements are delivered. The company evaluates each deliverable in an arrangement to determine whether they represent separate units of accounting. A delivered element constitutes a separate unit of accounting when it has standalone value and there is no customer-negotiated refund or return rights for the delivered elements. If these criteria are not met, the deliverable is combined with the undelivered elements and the allocation of the arrangement consideration and revenue recognition are determined for the combined unit as a single unit. Revenue from hardware sales and software licenses with extended payment terms is recognized as payments from customers become due (assuming that all other conditions for revenue recognition have been satisfied). Revenue for operating leases is recognized on a monthly basis over the term of the lease and for sales-type leases at the inception of the lease term. Revenue from equipment and software maintenance and post-contract support is recognized on a straight-line basis as earned over the terms of the respective contracts. Cost related to such contracts is recognized as incurred. Revenue and profit under systems integration contracts are recognized either on the percentage-of-completion method of accounting using the cost-to-cost method, or when services have been performed, depending on the nature of the project. For contracts accounted for on the percentage-of-completion basis, revenue and profit recognized in any given accounting period are based on estimates of total projected contract costs. The estimates are continually reevaluated and revised, when necessary, throughout the life of a contract. Any adjustments to revenue and profit resulting from changes in estimates are accounted for in the period of the change in estimate. When estimates indicate that a loss will be incurred on a contract upon completion, a provision for the expected loss is recorded in the period in which the loss becomes evident. Revenue from time and materials service contracts and outsourcing contracts is recognized as the services are provided using either an objective measure of output or on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract. |
| Income Taxes | Income taxes Income taxes are based on income before taxes for financial reporting purposes and reflect a current tax liability for the estimated taxes payable in the current-year tax return and changes in deferred taxes. Deferred tax assets or liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax laws and rates. A valuation allowance is provided on deferred tax assets if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the asset will not be realized. The company has elected the policy of not providing for intra-period tax allocations between pretax earnings and other comprehensive income in instances where there is no net tax provision. This determination is made for each tax jurisdiction. The company recognizes penalties and interest accrued related to income tax liabilities in provision for income taxes in its consolidated statements of income. |
| Marketable Software | Marketable software The cost of development of computer software to be sold or leased, incurred subsequent to establishment of technological feasibility, is capitalized and amortized to cost of sales over the estimated revenue-producing lives of the products, but not in excess of three years following product release. The company performs quarterly reviews to ensure that unamortized costs remain recoverable from future revenue. |
| Internal-Use Software | Internal-use software The company capitalizes certain internal and external costs incurred to acquire or create internal-use software, principally related to software coding, designing system interfaces, and installation and testing of the software. These costs are amortized in accordance with the fixed asset policy described above. |
| Outsourcing Assets | Outsourcing assets Costs on outsourcing contracts are generally expensed as incurred. However, certain costs incurred upon initiation of an outsourcing contract are deferred and expensed over the initial contract life. These costs consist principally of initial customer setup and employment obligations related to employees hired under terms of the outsourcing contracts. Additionally, marketable software development costs incurred to develop specific application software for outsourcing are capitalized once technological feasibility has been established. Capitalized software used in outsourcing arrangements is amortized based on current and estimated future revenue from the product. The amortization expense is not less than straight-line amortization expense over the product's useful life. Fixed assets acquired in connection with outsourcing contracts are capitalized and depreciated over the shorter of the initial contract life or in accordance with the fixed asset policy described above. Recoverability of outsourcing assets is subject to various business risks, including the timely completion and ultimate cost of the outsourcing solution, realization of expected profitability of existing outsourcing contracts and obtaining additional outsourcing customers. The company quarterly compares the carrying value of the outsourcing assets with the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the outsourcing assets to determine if there is impairment. If impaired, the outsourcing assets are reduced to an estimated fair value on a discounted cash flow basis. The company prepares its cash flow estimates based on assumptions that it believes to be reasonable but are also inherently uncertain. Actual future cash flows could differ from these estimates. |
| Translation Of Foreign Currency | Translation of foreign currency The local currency is the functional currency for most of the company's international subsidiaries, and as such, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at average exchange rates during the year. Translation adjustments resulting from changes in exchange rates are reported in other comprehensive income (loss). Exchange gains and losses on intercompany balances are reported in other income (expense), net. For those international subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary economies, the U.S. dollar is the functional currency, and as such, nonmonetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical exchange rates, and monetary assets and liabilities are translated at current exchange rates. Exchange gains and losses arising from translation are included in other income (expense), net. |
| Stock-Based Compensation Plans | Stock-based compensation plans Stock-based compensation represents the cost related to stock-based awards granted to employees and directors. The company recognizes compensation expense for the fair value of stock options, which have graded vesting, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The company estimates the fair value of stock options using a Black-Scholes valuation model. The expense is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. |
| Retirement Benefits |
Retirement benefits Accounting rules covering defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefits require that amounts recognized in financial statements be determined on an actuarial basis. A significant element in determining the company's retirement benefits expense or income is the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets. This expected return is an assumption as to the average rate of earnings expected on the funds invested or to be invested to provide for the benefits included in the projected pension benefit obligation. The company applies this assumed long-term rate of return to a calculated value of plan assets, which recognizes changes in the fair value of plan assets in a systematic manner over four years. This produces the expected return on plan assets that is included in retirement benefits expense or income. The difference between this expected return and the actual return on plan assets is deferred. The net deferral of past asset losses or gains affects the calculated value of plan assets and, ultimately, future retirement benefits expense or income. At December 31 of each year, the company determines the fair value of its retirement benefits plan assets as well as the discount rate to be used to calculate the present value of plan liabilities. The discount rate is an estimate of the interest rate at which the retirement benefits could be effectively settled. In estimating the discount rate, the company looks to rates of return on high-quality, fixed-income investments currently available and expected to be available during the period to maturity of the retirement benefits. The company uses a portfolio of fixed-income securities, which receive at least the second-highest rating given by a recognized ratings agency. |
| Fair Value Measurements | Fair value measurements Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. When determining fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required to be recorded at fair value, the company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and also considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability. The fair value hierarchy has three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1 – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 – Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data; and Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. The company has applied fair value measurements to its derivatives (see note 12), to its postretirement plan assets (see note 16) and to its long-term debt (see note 9). |

Includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the Entity may deposit additional funds at any time and also effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months. Compensating balance arrangements that do not legally restrict the withdrawal or usage of cash amounts may be reported as Cash and Cash Equivalents, while legally restricted deposits held as compensating balances against borrowing arrangements, contracts entered into with others, or company statements of intention with regard to particular deposits are not generally reported as cash and cash equivalents. Includes cash and cash equivalents associated with the entity's continuing operations. Excludes cash and cash equivalents associated with the disposal group (and discontinued operation).

Assets, usually stocks, bonds, and other investments, that have been segregated and restricted (usually in a trust) to provide benefits, at their fair value as of the measurement date. Plan assets include amounts contributed by the employer (and by employees for a contributory plan) and amounts earned from investing the contributions, less benefits paid. If a plan has liabilities other than for benefits, those non-benefit obligations may be considered as reductions of plan assets. Reference 1: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef
