Looks like they were acquired by Capgemini

Hasn't Broadcom bought them yet? What an evil company.

What happened to the tech after acquisition?

Was the company Computer Associates (now part of the Broadcom conglomerate)? Sounds exactly like their playbook.

That company was purchased a few years back fwiw.

Probably needs to sell to a legacy company.. similarly to how Duo sold to Cisco

They were recently acquired by OpenText, so that probably has something to do with it.

Be bought by another company ;)

Acquisition by one of the tech giants.
