Cloud Wars Live with Bob Evans

Why Slack’s Whiny Lawsuit vs. Microsoft Will Backfire

47 min • 29 juli 2020

The Big Themes:


· The New York Times ad begins, “Dear Microsoft, big news and congratulations on today’s announcements. We’re genuinely excited to have some competition.”


· The ad reeks of arrogance. And Slack is saying to the European Union, “it’s just not fair the way Microsoft is treating us.”


· It’s time for Slack to be part of a different enterprise company, and maybe it’s Oracle, Salesforce – or maybe Microsoft will have pity on them and gobble them up.


· The cloud space is only going to get more interesting over the next 12 months, as we rush to reinvent these industries and businesses and reimagine them.


· Slack and Microsoft Teams are not anywhere near the same. Sean says, “when I get a link from a company that I’m working with, I grimace. It’s an absolutely terrible product.”



The Big Quote:


“The sad reality is Slack is worth more inside somebody else's enterprise today than it is alone.”
