SaaS enterprise solutions provider Atlassian Pty. Ltd. has acquired real-time chat and messaging provider Hall Inc. for an undisclosed price.

Founded in 2011 originally as Companyline, Hall offers a platform that is said to help teams and companies communicate in real-time. The company offered what it described as an all-in-one unified communications app that prvided everything a company needed to communicate and get things done.

One particularly strong aspect in what Hall was offering was integrations with apps used by business teams in its targeted industries, including Box, Dropbox, Get Satisfaction, Twitter, Salesforce, and many more.

Hall customers include Amazon.com, JCPenney, Intuit, NetApp, VH1 and Zynga.

Atlassian said it would leverage Hall’s focus on serving general business teams to support the growth of its hosted private chat service for businesses HipChat.

“Hall shares our belief that both form and function matter – even in enterprise software,” Atlassian President Jay Simons said in a statement sent to SiliconANGLE. “They have amassed an impressive set of customers by thinking not just about what the product can do, but also the overall experience of using it based on the specific needs of different types of teams and industries. Bringing Hall into the fold will accelerate our ability to better serve all teams.”

Talking about the overall market space, Atlassian Vice President Bernardo de Albergaria added that “the market for team communications apps like HipChat and Hall has reached a tipping point..people are ready for a much more efficient way to communicate with co-workers and we see an amazing opportunity to change the way hundreds of millions of people work every day.”

For Atlassian this is its second acquisition in the chat and messaging space in one month, after it picked up Blue Jimp SA, the company behind the Jitsi messaging platform, late April.

Hall will be closed by June 30th, with existing clients migrating over to Hipchat. Details for customers, including a migration tool, are available from the Hall.com site.

Prior to acquisition Hall had raised $6.1 million over three rounds. Investors included 500 Startups, PivotNorth Capital, Felicis Ventures, Eric Hahn, Signia Venture Partners, AngelPad and Founder Collective.
