Dalam siri tweet yang ditulis oleh Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Slack, Stewart Butterfield, beliau semalam mengumumkan bahawa Slack kini telah membeli IP (Intellectual Property) HipChat & Stride daripada Atlassian.
Dan hasil daripada pembelian tersebut, Atlassian akan menutup kedua-dua servis yang berpotensi menjadi pencabar kepada Slack.
There are several components, all aligned around cementing the partnership and, most importantly, taking some big steps together to drive fundamental improvements in the experience of the millions of people around the world who are using our products together every single day.

… • Atlassian is making a small but symbolically important investment in Slack • We’re committing teams on both sides to create deeper and more powerful integrations between Slack and the Atlassian family of products — there’s so much to do here!

So, thank yous and congratulations all ’round!
We look forward to working with the great folks at Atlassian over the next few decades to deepen the partnership and help all kinds of organizations transform how they collaborate and get work done.

Atlassian sebagai pemilik HipChat & Stride juga membuat sedikit pelaburan ekuiti kepada Slack, yang mana menurut portal Techcrunch sebagai satu keputusan yang bagus disebabkan oleh proses mengapungkan Slack ke bursa saham melalui IPO (Initial Public Offering).
