4 Tools For Working Remotely

Tools for working remotely

Below are all the tools I use on a daily basis for working remotely. I’m sure that you’re already using some of them.

Skype

Skype is perhaps the most used communication tool for companies. You can use skype for chat, making and receiving calls, or for doing screen sharing. Best of all skype is free and works on every platform.

Campfire

Campfire is a web application by 37signals for keeping track of communications with your team. We use campfire extensively and we never had a single issue in many years.

Google Apps and Google Docs

Google apps together with google docs provides most of what you’ll ever need for sharing documents. I personally use these tools only occasionally, except for gmail where I can sync many account into a single one.

Basecamp

Basecamp is another web application by 37signals. You can use basecamp to keep track of your projects and things to do. If your requirements are simple you can probably use pen and paper, otherwise this is an excellent program. I am personally not using basecamp anymore, as my requirements are very specific and I don’t have a team to manage.
