Slack is partnering with Oracle to offer business bots Slack Technologies has secured a partnership with Oracle to integrate the tech giant's enterprise software products into the popular workplace messaging app. The partnership will allow workers to use Slack as the interface for Oracle's sales, human resources and business software. Workers will be able to ask questions such as "how many vacation days do I have left this year?" and instantaneously receive a response from an Oracle chatbot. The partnership between the two companies came about after Slack secured the tech giant as a customer. At Oracle, there are 30,000 workers who actively use Slack for work. Oracle is currently developing these chatbots, and they will begin to roll out to Slack and Oracle users within the next two quarters. https://www.cnbc.com/2017/10/03/slack-oracle-partnership-will-offer-new-in-app-business-bots.html
