Remote Work

Tools for remote work - IT guides for companies

Remote work only works if there's a meaningful technology ecosystem behind it - and often more than you think. In this category, you'll find practical guides on tools and systems that make managing a distributed team easier, though of course there is no one-size-fits-all recipe.

Communication and collaboration platforms play a big role: from Microsoft Teams and Slack to task management tools such as Asana and Monday.com. We describe specific configurations - channels, permissions, calendar integrations - and situations where one solution may be better than another.

Data security is not a slogan, but a necessity. We discuss VPN configuration, two-factor authentication systems, connection encryption and policies for secure access to corporate resources. By the way, we touch on backups and BYOD policies, because using private phones for work has its pros and cons.

Infrastructure is the foundation - from choosing a laptop and accessories to optimizing your Internet connection and configuring servers or cloud services (such as SharePoint or Google Drive). There will be no shortage of advice on home office ergonomics.

Finally, we look at CRM/ERP integrations, process automation and reporting. We're also looking at on-the-ground implementations and employee training - because a tool won't adopt itself, even if it sounds promising.
