Understanding the business

Business goals

Slack's primary objective for their brand website was to centralize and streamline all dispersed brand-related assets within the organization.

The paramount goal was to provide internal and external vendors with a secure login portal, granting them access to personalized, curated content tailored to their email addresses. This strategic move not only enhanced user experience but also fortified Slack's data security measures, ensuring that only authorized individuals gained access to sensitive information.

In essence, the project aimed to fortify brand consistency while safeguarding the integrity of Slack's digital ecosystem.

Business challenge

The Slack team encountered many challenges due to a proliferation of disparate sources of information, resulting in a lack of a single, reliable source of truth.
