What the team gets

A day in the chat, from question to call.

Six essentials, bundled into one window. No plugins, no separate logins, no surprise storage bills — every screenshot below is one feature in motion. Chat ships alongside our cloud business phone so escalations never leave the workspace.

Keep your current stack

Keep Slack if you want to.

Native Slack bridge mirrors messages and files both ways — no forced migration, no data left behind. Pair with our HIPAA-aligned healthcare workspace when regulated workflows need to stay in chat.

For the regulator's own framing, see the HHS HIPAA guidance on covered communications.

  • Two-way message and file sync
  • Microsoft Teams calling integration runs alongside
  • Phase teams over at their own pace

External collaboration

External partners, same workspace.

Guest accounts invite auditors, contractors or clients into a single channel without exposing the full workspace. Set permissions per channel — sensitive rooms stay internal. Designed for remote teams that need a chat-first workspace.

Zero-trust by default. Guests can't see anything you don't share — permissions are configurable per channel, so sensitive rooms stay internal.

FAQ

Questions teams usually ask.

Slack, storage and guest access — the questions that come up before every rollout.
