Slack just had its most productive week ever. We talked to Slack's CEO to learn how the coronavirus and the uptick in remote working has impacted the company:

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.
