As National Lockdown extended till May 3d, a lot of Indian professionals will have to work from home remotely. Even worse, the accelerating economic crisis makes more and more people switching from serving the local market to finding new opportunities, projects, and customers abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good thing is the market has sought to provide the tools that facilitate more efficient and effective remote working practices. As a result, there are a lot of tools on the market that can genuinely assist this approach to perform your job, whether you\u2019re seasoned at it, or if you are embracing it for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the tools you need to know:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Linguix, for producing accurate written content<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Linguix<\/a>\u2019s tool is a writing assistant powered by the artificial intelligence algorithm. This software greatly helps in producing high quality written content. Along with the sophisticated grammar, style and vocabulary\/spelling checker is Linguix\u2019s array of useful templates, suited to both work and study. The dictionary tool allows you to easily find definitions and synonyms for any word you read online, ensuring a learning experience at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Linguix\u2019s tool is available as an extension for Google Chrome<\/a>, Mozilla Firefox<\/a>, MS Edge<\/a>, and the Premium<\/a> version offers an even more extensive array of checks. The Linguix web app provides audience-specific corrections and access to stats and readability scores to further improve your writing. Also, it shows fixes and recommendations but features detailed rules explanations for the most critical mistakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Zoom, for your video conferencing needs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even though you are working remotely, it\u2019s still nice (and sometimes essential) to get a bit of face time with colleagues and\/or clients.\u00a0Zoom<\/a>\u00a0is a tool that facilitates both intimate and larger meetings and comes with a plethora of features including the ability to share screens, use shared whiteboards and perform remote screen control options. The quality of the connection is usually great, and Zoom enables you to create individual meeting URLs that you can schedule and share in synchronization with third-party options such as Google Calendar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todoist, for self and team organization<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Todoist<\/a>\u00a0is really a simple and smart to-do list tool (as the name would suggest), but when working remotely, it can easily operate as your project management system too. Timeframes, due dates, priority levels, and ownership can all be attributed using Todoist and shared between remote teams, so whether you are working individually, or collaboratively as part of a group, this is a great (and simple) PM tool to use. It dovetails nicely with your personal activities too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Slack, for messaging<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Slack<\/a> is a great tool for sharing communications and content within teams and specific groups within companies or between collaborative organizations. Tailor your groups as you require, and take advantage of Slack\u2019s instant-messaging service, full of gifs and emojis akin to WhatsApp. This great collaboration hub can also be used to pin messages and track documents and tasks, so it\u2019s an all-in-one place for in-company teams to work from, particularly when that team is dispersed remotely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Formstack, for data management<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For many of your data management needs,\u00a0Formstack<\/a>\u00a0is a great option. With it you can collect the relevant information connected to an array of online forms, helping to measure analytics connected to recruitment practices, attendance, engagement, and payments, among many others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hubspot, for marketing, sales and customer service needs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Okay, so Hubspot<\/a> is not necessarily a remote working tool, because it is used by many companies as an automation system for all of their inbound marketing needs, from social media marketing to content creation and management, and from SEO considerations to web analytics. It can also be used as the place to store all company contacts, both internal and external, and so if you are now working as a remote tool, it truly adds value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dropbox, for filesharing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When working remotely, filesharing is one of the most fundamental considerations. Dropbox<\/a> is perhaps the most well-known and among the simplest-to-use filesharing tools, especially if you don\u2019t need the full G suite offering. Dropbox Office is a slightly more comprehensive option, but the free account is a good place to start.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
