It'd be really interesting for Slack to go the Atlassian or Microsoft route - acquire companies that solve adjacent problems, and then bundle the products to enterprise customers. The sales get harder to ignore, and it'd make Slack as a company even stickier.
A couple things come to mind, like file sharing, calendar & room management, project management (around tasks, mainly), VoIP integration for sales calls, and maybe even gasp email.

They started filling the pipeline for this a while ago by literally funding startups building such things. Acquiring some of the more popular ones is surely one of the goals, should this work out.
