Slack is a platform for corporate communication and teamwork on projects. The purpose of the service is to optimize team communication and facilitate interaction between departments. Slack is suitable for companies from different spheres: creative agencies, development teams, education, financial services, production, sales and other areas. Thanks to Slack integration with many programs and services, it allows a company to create a full-featured working environment.
In Slack, companies or sections create a workspace for themselves that contains the necessary channels, document archives, and news feeds. Channels are group chats where individual team communicates or, issues are resolved on a given topic. In chat rooms, users can communicate using text messages and there are special tools for text formatting: italics, bold, underline, list creation, coding, etc. In addition to text communication, Slack features voice calls and video calls. Partners and third parties can be invited to channels prepared for this purpose. Users can communicate not only in group chats, but also in private chats.
Integration with other services gives Slack the ability to increase functionality many times over. For example, development teams from Jira can share, edit and view tasks in a special channel. Or an executive can sign contracts with partners without leaving Slack by means of integration with DocuSign. And there are many such integrations.
