Slack CEO details ‘most productive’ week in company history, hits back at Microsoft

Stewart Butterfield remembers the magic moment when everything he had tried to accomplish for five years crystallized.

The San Francisco-based company added 9,000 new paid customers from Feb. 1 to March 25, an 80% increase over the full quarterly total the preceding two quarters. During weekdays, the cumulative number of minutes of active use of Slack by all users globally now exceeds 1 billion. Meanwhile, paid subscribers — including the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, KPMG and TD Ameritrade AMTD, -4.

Besides Slack, Microsoft Corp.’s MSFT, -1.04% collaborative-communications platform, Teams, continues to post huge gains in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. Microsoft last week said a record 2.7 billion meeting minutes were logged on March 31, an increase of 200% from 900 million in mid-March. Total video calls grew 1,000% in March. And the Pentagon recently launched a Microsoft-based teleworking service for 4 million employees.

Very pukey advertorial in tone.
