Down the road, this should also integrate well with their VR plans.
There's quite a few companies they will not be able to sign up unless they provide an on premise solution (which I doubt they are interested int) and I have a feeling that even if they push the message hard it'll not be trivial to not have carry over privacy concerns (pretty important for enterprise software).
My gut tells me they should have released this as a completely separate entity to avoid fragmentation (I suppose this would also be the default positioning argument).
As an outsider it's also an interesting case of make vs. buy (MS-Yammer vs. Workplace).
