Slack and AWS partner to offer Enterprise Workforce Collaboration Solutions

AWS and Slack announced their multi-year partnership to offer solutions for enhanced enterprise workforce collaboration. 

As a part of the agreement, Slack will now migrate its audio and video call capability to AWS’s communications service called Amazon Chime.

Additionally, Slack will also allow its users to manage AWS resources within Slack.

CEO and co-founder of Slack, Stewart Butterfield, said, "The future of enterprise software will be driven by the combination of cloud services and workstream collaboration tools. Strategically partnering with AWS allows both companies to scale to meet demand and deliver enterprise-grade offerings to our customers. By integrating AWS services with Slack’s channel-based messaging platform, we’re helping teams easily and seamlessly manage their cloud infrastructure projects and launch cloud-based services without ever leaving Slack."

CEO of AWS, Andy Jassy, said, "Together, AWS and Slack are giving developer teams the ability to collaborate and innovate faster on the front end with applications, while giving them the ability to efficiently manage their backend cloud infrastructure. AWS customers gain a powerful new means of managing their AWS resources that will help teams collaborate and build more applications using the broadest and deepest set of cloud services. We look forward to working with Slack to expand the ways we can help our customers innovate in the cloud."

For data compliance requirements, Slack will also start leveraging AWS infrastructure to offer enterprises to choose to store their data within their specific countries.

Slack has also designated AWS as their preferred cloud vendor. At the same time, AWS will leverage Slack for their teams' communication, notes the announcement.

Slack and AWS will also extend product integration and interoperability with AWS Chatbot, Amazon AppFlow, AWS Key Management Service with Slack Enterprise Key Management (EKM).
