HGGC acquired Serena Software in early 2014, adding the technology company to its portfolio. Serena assists thousands of business clients across multiple sectors in achieving productivity and profitability through enhanced processing speed, quality, and reliability. With the announcement of Release Manager v5 in late 2013, Serena boosted the effectiveness of its previous products by taking development-operations methodology further through integrating people-centered design and measurement to offer individually tailored best practices, enhanced lifecycle views, automated deployments, and improved environment management.
