"Before it buys a company, Vista evaluates whether its software is “mission critical” and whether it has control over its “critical factors for success,” or the key drivers of its performance." If this was true for your company, why go the route of a buy-out exit? Why not continue onto ipo?

Vista has companies it hasn't sold and doesn't plan on it. I could be wrong, but I don't believe they plan on selling ours. If the company they bought helps them be a better private equity firm, they keep it. How do you know which company to buy next? With all of the data you just bought from the previous company.
