The Problem: Information Overload

  • Employees spend a significant amount of their workweek (around 20%) managing information from different systems, such as catching up on missed meetings, conversations, and responding to colleagues.
  • This is due to several reasons:
    1. Vast amount of data and information to consume
    2. Difficulty in finding the needed information in a timely manner
    3. Information scattered across different systems
    4. Difficulty in knowing how to use the information effectively

The Impact of Information Overload

  • 47% of knowledge workers struggle to find the data and information they need to perform their jobs.
  • Customer success teams take longer to respond to clients, leading to lower customer satisfaction.
  • Sales teams spend a lot of time on non-selling activities instead of building relationships with clients, resulting in lower revenue targets.
  • Project deadlines are missed due to the difficulty in gathering the latest information and keeping the team updated.

The Slack Solution

  • Slack is a "work OS" where different people, data, tools, and processes come together in a single place where conversations are happening.
  • Slack integrations and automation tools can help harness the power of data and AI to find information faster, make decisions easier, and stay ahead of the workday.

  • Slack Marketplace: Discover and connect to existing AI-powered applications.
  • Slack Workflow Builder: Create automated workflows by connecting different apps and services.
  • Slack Platform: Develop custom Slack apps using the Bolt framework and SDKs.
