They mainly own a set of enterprise solutions. Salesforce is now a massive cloud ERP that has CRM, eCommerce and other modules - Heroku is actually pretty small within that universe.
It makes sense to me that they would want to own conversations in order to cross-sell and up-sell solutions in their portfolio, and also defend against Microsoft which has Teams.
- sudhirj 5y agoHeroku has a good use case as being the quick default way to deploy Salesforce platform applications, so there’s definitely some synergy there, but the Heroku for everybody else is languishing a bit. Slack, don’t know, maybe it’s going to be the default communications platforms for Salesforce products and integrations.
- bombcar 5y agoThat's what I see it as - Salesforce defending their core product against encroachment by the Office 365 suite - if your company is already on that and Microsoft begins offering Salesforce-like products, selling Salesforce itself becomes a harder prospect.
