If you run Changeman, whether owned by Microfocus, Opentext, or Rocket it’s still the same software developed by Serena and many of the same developers/management. The fact that it changed ownership is irrelevant.

A private equity company. Usually, private equity companies are vultures who cut to the bone and then sell. In fact, Serena has been bought and sold numerous times in the last 20-25 years. By private equity who did exactly that. Cut to the bone and sold. The history section of this link tells the story. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serena_Software It’s a shame because there are some really good people there and the software is excellent.

We use it for Cobol, assembler, DYLs, JCL CICS maps etc. Opentext got it when they acquired MicroFocus who got it when they acquired Serena. IDK if Serena acquired it from somebody else or if they developed it. It does what we need it to do. I'm not that familiar with it as it is primarily used by our development staff and one of my cohorts handles its primary care and feeding.
