Arjuna, originally formed as a University research group in 1985. The group spun out of Newcastle University in 1998 to commercialise its research output and focused on sales to middleware application server vendors. This strategy was rewarded in 2000 when Arjuna was acquired by Bluestone Software for $13.25M. Bluestone's press release read "Through our acquisition of Arjuna, we became a leader in the new world of distributed Internet transactioning". In 2001 Bluestone was acquired by Hewlett-Packard for $525M and Arjuna operated as HP-Arjuna Labs, a part of HP's middleware division, based in Newcastle upon Tyne.
After a merger between HP and Compaq, that led to substantial reorganisation of HP, Arjuna's management team executed a management buyout with the support of HP and became independent again with a strategy of improving the product IP and focusing on service delivery. This strategy succeeded with the sale of the Arjuna Transaction Service IP to JBoss Group in late 2005 for a seven figure sum.
