What is Slack about?
Slack is a cloud-based collaboration tool for your internal communications. With Slack you can share and discuss everything that takes part in your internal team. Create multiple channels (e.g. Software-Team, Marketing-Team) or communicate 1-on-1 in single chats.
If you already use Slack or you are going to use it in the future, you are able to integrate it into BEMboard.
Slack is owned by Slack Technologies. To learn more about Slack, visit www.slack.com
