Slack is an excellent tool for communicating in teams. Users create channels based around a topic, a team or a shared idea and which allows everyone using to organise interactive conversations.
Users can share a range of documents instantly from a variety of different devices. Both private and open channels can be created allowing teams or group to interact in different ways depending on the sensitivity of the topic.
