• Trust: The foundation for for success. Trust always needs to be a companies #1 value.

• Customer-Frist: Companies who put their customers at the center of everything will thrive. Salesforce's Customer 360 enables businesses to provide engaging 1:1 experiences through a single source of truth across sales, service, marketing, and commerce.

• Digital Headquarters: Companies that embrace a remote-first culture will create a more inclusive and productive workplace. The primary channel for companies communications should be Slack, to provide communications between employees, partners and clients.

• Health and Safety: Technology has allowed us to come together safely as we continue to navigate through the pandemic. Health Cloud 2.0 provides government agencys, communities, and companies with more data to help them to return to “normal life” safely.

• Sustainability: It is time for every firm to make a commitment to focus on sustainability and contribute to a brighter future.

Slack is the New Digital Headquarters

Slack debuted some amazing new features like Slack Connect, an easy way to meet with people outside of your organization.
