From 2006 to 2008, Versata continued to make acquisitions mostly in US. Most of the employees in the acquired companies were laid -off with the majority work being offshored to its India office in Bangalore{{Dubious|date=May 2010}}.

In early 2009, Versata made another major overhaul of its business model when it asked all its employees in India to work as contractors through [[oDesk]] for a gDev which is an entity incorporated by Trilogy to manage its outsourcing activities. The only employees left in Versata were the ones in US.<ref name="gDev1">{{cite news
