Microsoft buys slack1/23/2024 ![]() ![]() ![]() The San Francisco company was one of the first to begin selling software as a subscription service that could be used on any internet-connected device instead of the more cumbersome process of installing the programs on individual computers. The acquisition announced Tuesday is by far the largest in the 21-year history of Salesforce. #PowerBI AlwaysOn analysis services analytics Apple Azure Big Data BI Semantic Model bradcrumbs business intelligence Calculation Groups Cloud Columnstore Index consumerization of IT dashboard Data Alerts Data Persuasion Data Quality Services Data Vizualization Data Warehouse DAX DAX Tutorial dynamic title Excel Services Gateway GeoFlow Hadoop Html5 Knowledgebank Master Data Services Microsoft Microsoft Business Intelligence Microsoft Office Microsoft SQL Server Database Mobile Business Intelligence Office 15 Office 2013 PerformancePoint persuasion vs manipulation PowerBI Power BI Power BI Tutorial Power Map PowerPivot PowerPoint Power Query PowerView Price Volume Mix PVM report Reporting Services Revenue Variance Analysis ROLAP Salesforce SAP Self Service BI SharePoint Slack SQL Azure SQL Server 2012 SSIS Surface T-SQL Tabular technology xVelocity Follow business intelligist on WordPress.Business software pioneer is buying work-chatting service Slack for $27.7bn in a deal aimed at giving the two companies a better shot at competing against longtime industry powerhouse Microsoft.

Salesforce also has a formidable sales organization that is highly capable to have conversation with a business audience, which is vastly different from the technology/platform centric conversations the Microsoft’s sales organization tends to generate. Salesforce has advantage with respect to its Applications portfolio as it has a much greater mind share and market share for the large enterprise customers and this advantage will generate a lot of conversations that will pull through Tableau and Slack offerings into the mix. Microsoft of course has its own trifecta of Dynamics, Power BI and Teams, however, in my video below I argue that its offering suffers from not having the gravity and stickiness that Salesforce offering will have. This year it paid $28B (somewhere around half in cash) for Slack, creating a very strong trifecta of a business offering: Salesforce paid $16B last year for Tableau in a stock transaction. Should Microsoft be worried that Salesforce has just acquired Slack? In my opinion – YES, in fact it should be so worried that it must double its investments in Power BI. ![]()
