Project Management Software

This refers to a type of software that deals with task scheduling, collaboration, communication, delegation, and so much more. These software can help you keep track of what your employees are doing. It is also a good way to keep tabs on employee productivity. There are web-based forms of these as well as intra-office ones.

Email

Email or electronic mail, is one of today’s quickest forms of communication. It is essential to any business. The email used in your company can either be a private one or one that is provided for you by a free service. Some of the top free email clients online include gmail, hotmail, yahoo mail, AOL, and several others. Choose the right servers for your need.

Instant Messaging

Instant messaging clients provide Instant Messaging (IM) support. There are several examples of IM clients available online, most of them are available for free. Some examples on instant messaging clients include Yahoo Messenger, Windows Live Messenger, and Skype. Some free email clients also provide an IM service together with email. A good example of this is Google Chat found within Gmail.

IM clients have also evolved over the years. When they were initially available, they only provided simple text IM-ing. They now provide with voice and video calling. File transfer is also available.

Web Conferencing

Say a company has several employees stationed across the world. For example, general managers could be assigned to handle operations in different cities, different states, or different countries. Web conferencing can make virtual meetings much easier. 

In addition to the above, you can also use File Transfer Protocols. There are also document sharing programs available online. An example of this is Google Docs.
