I started @ Duquesne 10/86. Within in a few yrs Duquesne merged w/Morino Assoc. to form Legent because venture capitalists who owned parts of both saw an advantage to it. Total culture clash between companies made merger an interesting time. Unfortunately there is no shelter that will take unwanted managers.
Almost immediately Legent bought the company that owned Endevor, and made its president the president of Legent. A few yrs later, Legent picked up Goal -- a yr or so before being bought out by CA in 8/95. Before the buyout was complete, a questionaire was passed out. One of the questions was "Do you want to work for CA?" Amazing the number of people who wrote NO. They got their wish. I remember having to try to comfort the woman who "walked me out." She was a wreck. from other email I think Tim Brunner wrote QF and PMO. QCM was before my time. around the time I started, two products (can't remember names) one Duquesne owned and one they bought were merged to form MIM . Ed Legowsky (sp?) then added another part. I think it was originally called EDIF. A have a lot of good memories from my decade in Pgh. Duquesne was the best company I have ever worked for. Neglecting upper management, Legent was as good.
