Work Side by Side with
TeleCommuters from anywhere.






Collaboration tools can let TeleCommuters and Employers team up from anywhere on the same page -- at the same time.

The workplace over recent years has not necessarily been in one place. Businesses are now opening up virtually to external communications. Cellphone access to manage email from outside the office and VPN access to office computers from external company offices, employees homes and clients are prevalent -- technology which can also be used to team up with TeleCommuters.

In plenty of offices these days, employees are communicating and sending documents via email with those just down the hall. Moving some of these offices into employees' homes may not have much effect on company communication.

There's a virtual flood of Team-Up tools rushing our way: File Sharing – Screen Sharing – Scheduling – Progress Reporting – Time Sheeting – Instant Messaging – Encryption – Internet Phone – Web Conferencing.

TeleCommuting job seekers have a vested interest in investigating them so they can show prospective employers they are on top of the latest developments that can ease theTeleCommuting experience. And there are employers already using collaboration tools who will expect their TeleCommuters to dive right in. You can experience most of the various collaboration tools with free trials. Some with even free versions.

For employers not requiring absolute security/privacy, the easy to use low-cost and no-cost offerings will suffice. High-tech, higher-priced collaboration tools are generally required for ultimate security.

A very good start is Robin Good's mind-clearing Grassroots Real-Time Collaboration Tools presentation. Put him to work once more at kolabora.com. See the links in 'More Kolabora' to view reviews of the latest TeleCommuting collaboration tools available.

Get experience with TeleCommuting whiteboard sharing tools and even work together on real projects with one of the easiest to use, intuitive tools, go to scribblar. You can set up a free private room.

 


 









Company TeleCommuter collaboration experiences:

................................................................
By TeleCommuting, 83% of Cisco employees said their ability to communicate and collaborate with co-workers was the same as, if not better than, it was when working onsite. In addition, with the steady adoption of enterprise-class remote connectivity solutions like Cisco Virtual Office, Cisco Office Extend and virtual collaboration tools like Cisco WebEx, Cisco anticipates that employees and employers will continue to see a rise in the benefits associated with TeleCommuting.
................................................................
Art & Logic software projects succeed because an abundant amount of clear, timely information is available to clients and the entire TeleCommuter team. Their network infrastructure makes it easy for clients to be virtually 'on-site' with them every day. The Online Collaboration Environment is a FirstClass-based conferencing system (see firstclass.com), configured specifically for managing geographically distributed software projects. Through this virtual workspace, the team gets real-time information about all aspects of the project, including project planning, design, work-in-progress, and defect tracking.

Fifteen years ago Ron's company turned their downtown office into a bunch of guest cubes. They were given laptops and cell phones and told to work from home. Video conferencing, webcasts, webinars enable their work. Facebook and LinkedIn and Twitter let them talk in real time to a couple hundred people. Ron has helped introduce software marketing tools to companies like IBM, EDS, Rohm & Haas, Royal Caribbean, Sprint, Onstar and many others.
