WHAT: Recent years have seen the emergence of many different paid and free tools for video conferencing/project management/communication/time management and so on. Some of these tools are free-of-charge, allowing any company to easily start investing in their remote work policy. These tools cover video conferencing, remote desktop access, live streaming and management tools. 

So What: So many tools exist and are being optimised fast for remote work. Many of these have been made very accessible and free deals are often focused on small start-up sized companies – opening up the world of remote work to any company who might want it, even on low budgets.
