From Meta Workplace to Bundeling: What are the benefits?

Last month, Meta, the parent company of Facebook, announced it would be shutting down “Workplace.” Workplace was a business communication platform similar to Facebook. This article explains why Meta is ending Workplace and what you can do if you were using this platform.

Why is Meta Ending Workplace?

According to Meta, they are stopping Workplace to focus on developing AI technology, which they believe will fundamentally change the way we work. It’s likely that Meta will now concentrate on developing the Metaverse, an online world where people meet through avatars, their virtual doubles.

Workplace Users: What Are Your Options?

Meta Workplace had over 7 million users worldwide. The big question is, where will all these users go now? If you’re one of those 7 million users looking for an alternative, here are some things to consider.

Usage Deadline

Fortunately, there’s no need to rush. Workplace will remain active until August 31, 2025. Until then, you and your colleagues can continue using the platform. Additionally, you can download data and read messages until May 31, 2026. After this date, Meta will permanently delete the platform and all stored data.

Data Retention and Migration

Download your data before Meta takes its tool offline. This is crucial for migrating to a new platform. Meta advises moving to Zoom’s WorkVivo and will assist you in a successful migration, but we recommend considering other alternatives as well.

Alternatives

Both Workplace and WorkVivo are not core businesses for their parent companies. When looking for alternatives, we recommend considering companies that focus solely on providing tools for internal communication, such as Bundeling.
