Slack CEO Steward Butterfield stated that Salesforce has begun the cloud revolution and now it is working forward to transform the way people work.

Slack and Salesforce together can change the future of enterprise software and modify the way individuals work in the digital work-from-home environment. Marc also stated that it feels like a match made in heaven. According to Marc Benioff, the Slack team has built the most beloved platforms with an amazing ecosystem in enterprise software history. When the rumors of the acquisition were spread by the Wall street journal, shares of Slack turned bullish and closed at 38% higher last week while salesforce fell 2.7 percent. However, this deal has become the most consequential acquisition of recent times and Salesforce’s biggest purchase ever in the business software industries. This news is coming in just months after Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff denied his interest in pursuing any such acquisitions.

Salesforce made this major announcement on Tuesday, a week after the acquisition leaked. US cloud-based software giant Salesforce acquires Slack Technologies for 27.7 billion dollars.
