WORK - Salesforce Reconfiguring Operations Around Slack App
Obviously determined to get as much from its monster investment as possible, salesforce.com (NYSE: CRM) plans to center its entire operations around Slack. Last December, Salesforce bought Slack Technologies (NYSE: WORK) , the operator of the hot namesake office-messaging app, in a monster deal valued at $27.7 billion . That was by far Salesforce's largest acquisition, and a huge buyout by any standard.
Salesforce's plans were revealed by CEO Marc Benioff in an interview with Yahoo! Finance Live. During the discussion, Benioff said that, "We're going to rebuild all of our technology, once again, to become Slack-first to help our customers have a harness to work in this new world -- where you're working at home; you're working in the office; you're working at events; you're working anywhere."
