SAN FRANCISCO: Collaboration software provider Slack Technologies Inc is building a safety engineering team that will develop methods to help reduce the disruptions that have been more frequent on Slack's service than rival systems, the company told Reuters.
Recurring outages have prevented Slack users from connecting with its service as the fast-growing startup competes against the likes of Microsoft Corp, Alphabet Inc’s Google, Cisco Systems Inc and Facebook Inc in the crowded workplace collaboration software market.
