History

In 1983, Alan Mills formed a joint venture with Timberline Software and developed the architecture & engineering specific product offering. On September 27, 1996, Timberline Software sold its Architecture & Engineering product line to Mills and Cathy Mills. [6] In 2004, Axium launched an entirely new software platform, Ajera, which makes up its core offering today. The company announced plans to move to neighboring Tigard's Lincoln Center in 2010. [7] The company had revenues of $10.9 million for 2011 and had 78 employees at that time. [8] Axium was sold in December 2012 to 2ndWave Software, but was to retain its headquarters in Oregon. [9]

Axium launched a new product, Project Trek, in 2014. [10] This came after the company acquired ArchitTrek in March 2014 in an effort to add collaboration and construction project management to its offering. [11]

Acquisition by Deltek

In June 2014, Axium was acquired by Deltek, Inc. The terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
