Some nitpicks:

* Pivotal Tracker is the SaaS software you're thinking of.

* Pivotal Labs is the agile and lean engineering/design/product/data science consultancy, from which Pivotal Tracker first emerged as a product.

* Pivotal is the parent company formed from Pivotal Labs and other products (notably Cloud Foundry, Spring, Greenplum, Gemfire) several years ago.

Disclaimer: I'm work at Pivotal Labs.

Yeah, Googled and ended up on the main site. Thought they were doing a _really_ bad job of explaining their software for a bit.
Calling Tracker "Pivotal" is pretty common.

My first thought is we should add a "did you mean Tracker?" link somewhere, but that's got problems too. We work on a lot of software.

Disclaimer should of course say "I work at Pivotal Labs".

This is what I get for not pair-posting.
