Consona Corporation went public in 1997.

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

On August 6, 2009 CDC Software Corporation completed its initial public offering (IPO) on the NASDAQ Global Market under the ticker "CDCS".

The CDC-Consona merger was billed as a merger of equals although most of the management team of the surviving company was connected with CDC. Aptean said it planned to maintain and continue to invest in and support all of its brand names.

The owner of Aptean, Vista Equity Partners, tends to take a hands-on approach to management and implements standardized business processes and standard systems and tools.

Aptean named Kim Eaton as its CEO. Aptean in January 2015, acquired Verdiem Corporation to Power Energy Efficiency for Customers.
