Slack is an acronym which means &#8220;<strong>Searchable Log of All Conversation and Knowledge<\/strong>&#8220;. There are some subjects of conversation in which you can participate, and there is always a <strong>trace<\/strong> of what you said or shared in the group conversation. There are of course other features than the communications&#8217; ones. To impose itself in the workplace, Slack offers the possibility to <strong>connect<\/strong> other applications to the platform. Indeed, as you can share files, you can connect a <strong>Dropbox<\/strong> or a <strong>Google Drive<\/strong> account for example. You can even connect services like <strong>Uber,<\/strong> or more specific ones like <strong>CRM software<\/strong> (for example <strong>Salesforce<\/strong>), or <strong>HR softwares<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jobboardfinder.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Slack-overview-min.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jobboardfinder.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Slack-overview-min.png 400w, https:\/\/www.jobboardfinder.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Slack-overview-min-300x203.png 300w, https:\/\/www.jobboardfinder.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Slack-overview-min-30x20.png 30w\" alt=\"slack\" width=\"400\" height=\"270\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It has the advantage to be available either <strong>online<\/strong>, on <strong>computers<\/strong> as well as on <strong>mobile devices<\/strong>, so this is pretty <strong>modern<\/strong> and <strong>adapted<\/strong> to the world we live in, that is to say a\u00a0<strong>digital<\/strong> and <strong>mobile<\/strong> one.
