Slack, New Features and Updates... Securing 'Data Residency' in Korea

[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] Slack announced its new product roadmap and updates, including 'Slack Canvas,' on the 8th.

The newly introduced Slack Canvas allows teams to curate, organize, and share essential resources needed for work progress. Users can customize the canvas as they wish to carry out their tasks. Slack Canvas is scheduled to launch next year.

Slack has added various features to its voice communication function, 'Slack Huddle,' including video capabilities, multi-user screen sharing, and message threads that are automatically saved to channels. Additionally, Slack introduced a new open beta of the Slack platform for developers, enabling automation of tasks for teams and organizations.

Furthermore, to strengthen domestic customer service, Slack has secured 'data residency' within Korea. Data residency refers to the physical and geographical location of a company’s or organization’s data or personal information. With Slack securing domestic data residency, Korean customers can now choose Korea as the data storage region.

Jung Eungseop, head of Slack Korea, stated, “Since officially entering Korea, Slack has been loved as an essential messaging platform by major domestic companies, solidifying its leading position in the industry. We will continue to provide more value to domestic customers through consistent feature updates and new releases, and strive to improve work consistency and productivity in the digital HQ.”
