# Conclude > Conclude is a collaboration platform that unifies chat across Slack, Microsoft Teams, Zendesk, and Jira. Conclude Connect bridges Slack and Microsoft Teams with real-time, two-way messaging — for internal teams or cross-company (external) collaboration. Conclude Apps are no-code apps that run inside Slack and Teams for customer support, incident management, and issue tracking, with Zendesk and Jira integrations. Conclude (legal name Conclude AS) is headquartered in Oslo, Norway, with offices in Barcelona, Spain and Palo Alto, USA. It is led by CEO and co-founder Haavard Nord, the creator of the Qt framework, and CTO Lars Knoll, who built much of Qt and the engine that became WebKit. The platform is SOC 2 Type II certified and HIPAA compliant; data is hosted on Google Cloud (Idaho, USA). Pricing is based on the number of internal active users — external users (customers and partners) are never counted — and Starter and Pro plans include a free 14-day trial. Content pages are also available as markdown: append `index.html.md` to a page URL (category and author archives excepted).
