Company history

Consona was founded in 1986 as Made2Manage Systems. In 2003, the venture capital firm Battery Ventures acquired and subsequently privatized Made2Manage Systems, then a publicly traded enterprise resource planning (ERP) software and services provider for small and midsize manufacturers.[2]

Over the next three years, Consona acquired seven additional ERP product lines: DTR, Cimnet Systems, AXIS, Encompix, Intuitive, Relevant, and SupplyWorks.[3] In 2005, Thoma Cressey, a private equity firm with software industry consolidation expertise, joined Battery as a secondary shareholder of Consona.[1]

In 2006, the company entered the customer relationship management market when it acquired Onyx CRM.[4] Seven months later, Consona acquired the KNOVA service and support knowledge management system and launched the company’s Consona CRM division.Шаблон:Cn

In early 2007, to avoid confusion between the Made2Manage ERP solution and the company, M2M Holdings, the company changed its name to Consona Corporation to represent its new position as a CRM and ERP software and service provider.[5]

In 2008, Consona continued to acquire, adding former technology partner Configuration Solutions in March and creating Consona Canada via the purchase of the Intuitive-related assets of Automated Design Systems in June.[6][7] Later in the year, Consona acquired several VAR-related assets in China, and launched Consona China.

In 2009, Consona acquired enterprise software assets of support automation software vendor, SupportSoft.[8]

In 2010, Consona acquired open-source ERP software provider Compiere, giving Consona its first Cloud ready ERP solution and entry into the distribution market.[9]

On August 7, 2012, Consona merged with CDC Software; the resulting company was renamed Aptean.[10]
