Pivotal Software acquires Boulder-based Slice of Lime

BOULDER — Pivotal Software Inc., a software-development company based in Palo Alto, Calif., has acquired Boulder-based Slice of Lime LLC for an undisclosed amount.

Slice of Lime, founded in Boulder by chief executive Kevin Menzie in 2001, specializes in Web design and mobile apps using UX Design, a method that focuses on making the user’s experience as easy as possible.

Slice of Lime’s 20 employees will become employees of Pivotal Labs, the product design and development consultancy part of Pivotal Software, which spun out of EMC and VMware two years ago. Pivotal Labs and Slice of Lime each operated offices in Denver and Boulder. Slice of Lime’s offices in Boulder and Denver will be shuttered.
