Yesterday, Slack swallowed their biggest competitor: HipChat.

Instead of attempting to compete with Slack, an estimated $5B behemoth in the office communication space, parent company Atlassian agreed to:

discontinue HipChat and Stride, their inter-company messaging tools, and sell all related intellectual property to Slack.

help all HipChat users transition over to Slack.

invest a “small but symbolically important” in Slack.

Slack, in return, will more deeply integrate Atlassian’s other products, like task-management tool Trello and bug-tracker JIRA.
