Enterprise application software providers CDC Software Corporation and Consona Corporation, with a total of 1,500 employees and 5,000 customers, merged in August 2012 to form Aptean Corporation.[1]

Aptean sells industry-specific software for the financial, manufacturing and supply chain industries integrating enterprise resource planning (ERP), supply chain management (SCM), and complaint management.

History[edit]

Consona Corporation completed its initial public offering (IPO) in 1997.[2]

In 2003, the venture capital firm Battery Ventures acquired Made2Manage Systems for $30 million in cash.[3]

Originally named China.com when founded in 1997, CDC corporation was based in Hong Kong.[4] On August 6, 2009 CDC Software Corporation completed its IPO on the NASDAQ exchange under the symbol CDCS.[5] In November 2009, Consona Corporation acquired Canadian-based Activplant Corporation (formerly Executive Manufacturing Technologies, Inc.), a provider of manufacturing business intelligence software for manufacturing operations management.[6]

In July 2010, Consona acquired open source ERP software provider Compiere with 130 customers.[7]

The CDC-Consona merger was billed as a merger, although most of the management team of the surviving company was connected with CDC.[8]

Aptean named TVN Reddy as CEO in July 2018.[9]

Vista Equity Partners and TA Associates announced a joint investment in the company in February 2019.[10] One of Aptean's owners, Vista Equity Partners, tends to take a hands-on approach to management and implements standardized business processes and standard systems and tools.[11]

On March 20, 2020, Aptean announced the acquisition of UK-based Paragon Software Systems, a provider of transportation management software serving the food and beverage, distribution and retail industries.[12]
