CODA was founded in Chippenham, Wiltshire in 1979, and has around 600 employees working from 14 country operations around the world. A fellow Chippenham software company, SciSys, purchased CODA in 2000, renaming its Alternative Investment Market listed holding company CODASciSys plc in 2002.[2]In 2006, CODASciSys announced a demerger to form two listed companies, CODA (the financial software company) and SciSys (a space and public sector IT company).[3] In 2008, the competing ERP vendor, Unit 4 Agresso, acquired CODA, so its shares were de-listed from London's Alternative Investment Market.[4]
