“Stewart and his team have built one of the most beloved platforms in enterprise software history, with an incredible ecosystem around it,\u201d says Marc Benioff, Salesforce chair and CEO. \u201cThis is a match made in heaven. Together, Salesforce and Slack will shape the future of enterprise software and transform the way everyone works in the all-digital, work-from-anywhere world. I\u2019m thrilled to welcome Slack to the Salesforce Ohana once the transaction closes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSalesforce started the cloud revolution, and two decades later, we are still tapping into all the possibilities it offers to transform the way we work. The opportunity we see together is massive,\u201d says Stewart Butterfield, CEO and Co-Founder of Slack. \u201cAs software plays a more and more critical role in the performance of every organization, we share a vision of reduced complexity, increased power and flexibility, and ultimately a greater degree of alignment and organizational agility. Personally, I believe this is the most strategic combination in the history of software, and I can\u2019t wait to get going.”<\/span><\/p>\n
