If the mere thought of your email inbox makes you cringe in sheer desperation, there’s an app for your yet-undiagnosed condition. It’s called Slack,and it may just turn email into an obsolete form of communication from the Dark Ages. What it basically does is allow any business to set up a platform for team communications, accessible from anywhere. Then why not just use AOL Instant Messenger then? Well, Slack also offers great features that are perfect for professionals, including a competitive search engine, the ability to use it on virtually any device as well as to auto-archive all interactions.

While it’s available for free, it also offers businesses customized plans at the rate of a minimum of $6.50 per employee. The application is also easy to maintain by IT departments, especially since it’s hosted online and can be easily customized.
