The integrations. https://slack.com/integrations This isn't the usual "host your own server" integration. All Slack asks for are credentials for services you use and it seamlessly integrates into an assigned chat room (channel). My CEO did it for the startup I work at and in ten minutes from signup we had: Github, Trello, New Relic, Twitter, and Stripe all integrated.

Hipchat does that too

edit: To clarify, we run github freshdesk and jenkins integrations. I'm sure there's plenty more. From what I recall it works in a similar way too.

Can't speak to all of them, but the Github integration with Slack is better than HipChat. The messages are more useful and easier to customize.
