SiriusXM Chooses Slack for Companywide
Collaboration (Graphic: Business Wire)
The acquisition earlier this year of Pandora Media, the most
popular music-streaming app in the U.S., expanded the employee
ranks at SiriusXM. Together, SiriusXM and Pandora now reach more
than 100 million people with their audio products and services. The
introduction of Slack as SiriusXM’s choice of technology and
productivity tool is a significant part of the company’s ongoing
efforts to integrate its geographically dispersed workforce.
“Collaboration is key to our success, which is why we decided to
use Slack as part of our efforts to bring our employees together,”
said Bill Pratt, SVP and CIO at SiriusXM. “We see Slack as an
important day-to-day productivity tool for our organization.”
"Slack is helping companies around the world transform the way
they work. We're delighted that SiriusXM has chosen Slack to help
break down silos, foster transparency and improve business
operations," said Bob Frati, SVP of Sales and Customer Success at
Slack. "Throughout this period of change, and beyond, SiriusXM’s
investment in an industry leading technology platform will be
critical to its continued success. Thank you, SiriusXM, for
inviting us on this incredible journey with you.”

results or other expectations expressed in the forward-looking
statements: our substantial competition, which is likely to
increase over time; our ability to attract or increase the number
of subscribers, which is uncertain; our ability to profitably
attract and retain more price-sensitive consumers; failure to
protect the security of personal information about our customers;
interference to our service from wireless operations; a decline in
the effectiveness of our extensive marketing efforts; consumer
protection laws and their enforcement; our failure to realize
benefits of acquisitions or other strategic initiatives, including
the acquisition of Pandora Media, Inc.; unfavorable outcomes of
pending or future litigation; the market for music rights, which is
changing and subject to uncertainties; our dependence upon the auto

communications systems; rapid technological and industry changes;
failure of third parties to perform; our failure to comply with FCC
requirements; modifications to our business plan; our indebtedness;
damage to our studios, networks or other three facilities as a
result of terrorism or natural catastrophes; our principal
stockholder has significant influence over our affairs and over
actions requiring stockholder approval and its interests may differ
from interests of other holders of our common stock; impairment of
our business by third-party intellectual property rights; and
changes to our dividend policies which could occur at any time.
