If the term “zapping” makes you think of Slack before you even got your cable TV subscription, you might be wondering how you’ll be affected by the recent news that Salesforce plans to acquire the popular communications platform.

Cloud software company Salesforce announced its plan to acquire Slack in a landmark $27.7 billion deal on December 1. But as dramatic as the dollar amount of the deal may be, experts don’t expect it to fundamentally change the Slack experience immediately, or even anytime soon.

“A lot of people won’t know there was an acquisition,” Phil Simon, a recognized technology expert and author of books like Slack for Dummies, told Lifewire in a phone interview. He says Slack will continue to innovate its product as it has for some time, but that users can more or less expect the status quo after the sale.

Salesforce and Slack are different in many ways, and combining them brings new functionality to both. Salesforce is a cloud-based software company that provides numerous products for managing customer relationships, while Slack is an app that teams and groups use to share information and messages across channels.
