Touch Competition to Microsoft Teams

Slack has seen fierce competition from the much-established Microsoft Teams and is touted as the next-gen communication tool in the workplace. In 2016, Uber planned to use HipChat as the chat app for employees as it felt that Slack would not be able to comply with the communication needs of the company. However, now the announcement comes out as a great win for Slack.

Slack can now boast of its two large accounts which establish it as one of the healthy workplace communications platforms. With companies like Uber and IBM, which have high employee strength and extremely volatile communications structure adopting Slack as their preferred work chat app, Slack has proved its mettle.

IBM one of the largest Slack accounts

IBM has been one of the largest Slack accounts since 2016. However, it rolled out the App for all its employees in February this year.
