Firstly, Slack’s too expensive to acquire.
Secondly, Amazon has a great deal in the partnership: AWS hosting fees of the already wide user base + increasing user base due to their partnership’s benefits, along with user data for their claimed ML algorithms on AWS.
Thirdly, it also gets Slack licensing for the entire company.
Lastly, Amazon already has it’s own product, Amazon Chime for its customers from which it makes some revenue (from what I hear it isn’t too much)
So there’s no upside I guess, since Amazon already brokered a deal where it got everything it wanted.
Would Slack make money off Amazon customers? How’s it gonna be?
