Google Chat Android

Google's own version of Slack

Google Chat is a new communications tool focused on corporate productivity that comes along with security and confidentiality features. Google intends to enter a sector that it has yet to master due to the great developments created by other parties such as Slack, Microsoft Team or even Skype.

The first thing you should know about this new platform is that it isn't available for everyone but only for the companies that use G Suite, a service provided by Google with several of its products on a customized domain for the client.

Hold fluid and clear communications with your team mates.
