Slack, a collaboration software for teams of all shapes and sizes, has all of the best collaboration tools built into it. The service connects with DropBox, Soundcloud, and many other media storage spaces so that communicating within a team. This company just recieved another 160 million during a second round of funding. Slack’s executives are surely planning their invasion of the large scale enterprise workplace with their easy to use and integrative software. How should Microsoft, who’s products are almost ubiquitous in large companies, react to this threat? The truth is that the MS suite of products is old yet proven, but boring and a bit silo-ed. Compare the pricing, features, and feel of each for yourself and leave your thoughts below.

I think this is a definite threat to Microsoft, especially as our generation enters working age. One advantage that Microsoft has is it’s ubiquity as you mentioned. It will always be a staple in any office environment because using Microsoft Office is a skill that people put on their resumes, and a office platform centered around social media interaction features will pose a difficult learning curve for baby boomers who aren’t as technical as younger people. Productivity would take a large hit if they had to switch platforms, and they would try to make Slack work like Office does, which may not be possible in a simple way due to UI differences. While Slack has the potential to make headway in a market that Microsoft has a stronghold on, they will have difficulty if people have trouble adopting it.

I personally think that helicopters film teams and other photography companies should be worried and should already be adapting. The popularity of drones has skyrocketed and now that they are becoming more advanced they will definitely be eating into incumbent markets. My advice would be, if you can’t beat them, join them. Companies should perhaps adopt some of their technologies to aid the drone market. So instead of fading away, they still stay relevant as time goes on.

Andrew, I thought this was a great article. I was not surprised to see that there was some contention around performance reviews at a large company. Performance reviews, I feel, are an inefficient way at representing just how well an employee performs. Performance reviews are “static” and, especially at a company where projects and clients are always changing, can paint the wrong picture. I feel performance reviews are valuable but they should not be the deciding factor in reviewing an employee.

I definitely agree Ryan. I want to work for a company that has a program like this.

I found this article is very interesting because I had one internship experiences that there software system was not good enough for me to convert or share any kinds of data.
Following with the survey questions and judge for myself, I would definitely seeing myself using Slack at work because if the software integrates tools like DropBox and provide services that all can communicate in one, it will increase the work efficiency.
Slack will remove the barriers from communicating in between the employees. It will helps and share ideas in one spot and make easier for people to decide the ideas.
Especially, project manager will benefit from using Slack, because it is easier for them to control and manage other employees.Thanks
