Curious if Airbus moving over to GSuite has anything to do with Google Hangouts Chat launching and being included in GSuite as the final piece of the puzzle. Google didn't have an answer to Microsoft Teams, but now it does.
Do you imagine a CEO switching a whole company of this size because google released a new chat app? AFAIK those decisions are planned for a long time & costs are calculated + lost/gained productivity. What a terrible CEO would that be if they switched 130k people on a whim.
I can certainly imagine Airbus having a list of requirements that Google would have to satisfy as part of the contract to switch to GSuite, and it would seem reasonable that group chat might be on that list.
Not too familiar with MS Teams, but I was pretty excited when Hangouts Chat rolled out a few weeks ago. I figured if we were already paying for GSuite, why not use Hangouts Chat to replace slack? I ended up being terribly disappointed. Hangouts Chat feels more like a message board than it does a chat app. Google needs to put a ton more work into it if they plan on getting people to convert from Slack.
