Vista Equity Partners, a private equity firm based in San Francisco, acquired majority ownership of BigMachines in 2010 through several transactions starting January 2001.[7] Shortly after in 2011, Abel left the company.

Three years later, Oracle Corporation announced it was acquiring BigMachines on October 24, 2013.[8][9] Oracle kept the product, now called CPQ Cloud.[10]
