Choosing the right technology solutions for working remotely can be challenging.

There are so many different solutions each with different feature sets, pricing, levels of customisation and scope.  AND, you’re not exactly sure how long you’ll be working remotely and how it might change when offices start to re-open.  We hear you, we’ve got you.

Last week we wrote about the importance of making some changes to how you work, when operating remotely – even if you think your remote work might be a temporary state of play – and here, we offered some suggestions of free tools that you can use to support your remote work, so it doesn’t even have to cost you anything.

In researching the tools and technologies available for remote work,  we’ve been so impressed with the level of innovation and creativity from both new start-up companies offering remote work solutions to the more established incumbents.  Once you start looking, it turns out there’s a whole ecosystem of remote work technology providers offering solutions for every kind of remote work challenge – from wellness initiatives to productivity hacks to collaboration tools and communication solutions.  There are tools and solutions you might not even have dreamt you needed, but once you start using them, you might find you can’t live without them!

What’s more, many of the technology providers we’ve talked to are offering free, no obligation trial periods – or an always-free basic level of their package, which allows users to give them a whirl without all the complicated procurement processes which might otherwise be needed.

To get a feel for some of the technologies available, you can check out our supplier directory here which includes over 500 remote work technology tools and solutions.

We want to help buyers like you shortcut the decision making process on remote work tools and technologies by helping cut through lengthy tendering and sales pitch processes.  We plan to serve up useful summaries and video demonstrations of what the different providers within a specific remote work technology category can offer – and, to make life even simpler, we’ll be offering an “Innovator” badge to the remote work solutions against each category that have impressed us the most, to help you shortlist top providers.
