For Slack to withstand the competition from Microsoft, many analysts believe it must make inroads with not just small and midsized business customers, but within the large enterprise corporations where Microsoft's long operating history and scale give it an edge. Alex Zukin, an analyst at RBC Capital Markets, echoed that sentiment and said this shows that Slack's product is "highly scalable."

Bhatia writes that once IBM has fully deployed Slack across the company, it could contribute about $30 million to Slack's annual recurring revenue or just over 4 percent of it's total annual recurring revenue.
