And Cybermation.  Company I worked for was getting rid of CA products and
CA-11 and Jobtrac were up.  Migrated to Cybermation's ESP and Encore only to
have CA buy them about 6 months after the conversion completed.

Goal was acquired by Legent, which itself was formed when Morino Associates
and Duquesne Systems merged. They didn't use my suggested name for that
merger: Dorito.

 

Then CA bought Legent a few years later. And don't forget Sterling
Software-at the time, the largest software deal ever. All gone, all dust.
