JAA'S Analyst Blog - Current Posts

Since the relaunch, JAA's traffic has been really growing, as is our following, and your support is greatly appreciated! For those who have signed up for the blog via RSS, we hope you continue following, and sharing with others is also appreciated.

You should also know that the majority of JAA's thought leadership is published on sites other than this blog, and the best way to follow my broader coverage is to subscribe to my monthly newsletter.

A short note for navigating this section - scroll below for the most recent posts, and then for more, click on the Blog Archive box, where you can view all of my posts, going back to the beginning in March 2005.

Around this time each month, our latest Watch This Space podcast gets posted publicly to my website. Newsletter subscribers get access to it earlier, so if that’s not you, now you can listen to it as well.

This time around, Chris and I review how the collaboration landscape is changing, triggered in part by the recent update from Slack for Connect. The changes make Slack a more enterprise-friendly solution - with a caveat. The big “but”, of course is the absence of email, where their messaging channels are deemed sufficient for text-based communication, and in Slack’s view, a better way to get work done.

That’s a strong position to take when going up against Microsoft Teams and all the other collaboration players, and it says a lot about how this space is evolving. If that’s on your mind, then you should enjoy our podcast, which you can find here in the podcast section of my website. Once there, if you think subscribing to my newsletter - JAA’s Communications and Collaboration Review - is a good idea, the signup form isn’t hard to find.
