Product Details

What is Slack?

Slack is a Digital HQ
As the command center of the workday, Slack provides a flexible way to work with people, apps and partners in one space.

The new space for success
Slack connects people with each other and with their tools and data, equipping teams to be productive and open up opportunities.

Transform Teamwork
Working together in channels—dedicated spaces built around specific projects and initiatives—keeps the right people and information in one place.

Embrace Flexibility
Huddles let teams chat over audio instantly, with the option for video and screen sharing with the tap of a button.

Work Faster
With clips, teams can create audio, video and screen recordings to share updates, walk through demos or talk out an idea with more clarity (and personality).

Extend Collaboration
Slack Connect lets users work alongside external partners and customers in Slack channels, to speed up projects and strengthen relationships.

Integrate Tools
From project management tools to a daily calendar, Slack integrates with more than 2,400 applications.

Automate Tasks
In Slack, users can turn routine meetings and tasks like standups, approvals and requests into automated workflows.

  • It helped us in establishing and building internal relationships with the team members working remotely, we were able to grow our team and clients with trust and transparent relationships. Slack had played the crucial role is this process.
  • The turn around time has improved significantly about 30% by using huddles for quick collaborations.
  • I am able to save 5-10% of my weekly time by using the catch-up feature of Slack where it keeps all the action items to look at in one place.

  • Easiest way to keep the organization abreast with latest updates. Different channels allow the flexibility for members to join what is of interest to them and learn what changes are being run in the organization in their area of interest.
  • Collaboration - Members are able to ideate, ask questions, and seek help from wider audience which otherwise was limited to scheduling calls and more importantly knowing whom to ask. As our organization grew bigger, Slack enabled us to collaborate effectively through specific channels created for specific purposes. E.g. Channel for sales channel for Presales, product etc.

  • It helps save a lot of time s I can instantaneously connect with anyone. I can directly huddle them and message them.
  • I can tag only the relevant folks in a large channel /group. This minimises distractions for other users.
  • It is very helpful for asynchronous work as well. IU can post the updates and as and when people are available they can get the updates.
  • It's ability to integrate with G Suite and multiple other internal tools is a huge value addition.

  • The positive impact of the platform is about all the escalated cases that can be handled by a specialized team in the internal sector of the company which would result in better management in the expenditures of the company.
