Collaboration Programs
Collaboration Programs are for members of an entire corporation, alliance, or coalition to communicate with eachother. They're usually based on text rather than voice or video for convenience.
These programs provide a place to chat informally, a place to keep up to date on in-game events, and an easy way to reach people who aren't currently in-game through pings.

Slack
Slack is program that was originally meant to help organize businesses and development teams. Groups from several games have begun to utilize it though as it offers a superb API, and makes it easy to send notifications to team members when needed. It's unique in that it uses individual accounts for each workspace, instead of a master account for all servers like Discord uses.
Note: Slack is available through a browser app for those that can't or don't wish to download the desktop app.
Brave Collective Slack Workspace

Discord
Discord is similar to Slack but also offers voice and video chats that work with small groups. Its API is inferior to Slack's, but unfortunately it's also easier to initially setup than Slack is, so here we are.
Note: Discord is available through a browser app for those that can't or don't wish to download the desktop app.
