As mentioned in a previous post, motivating your virtual workforce can mean the difference between a successful virtual team and an unsuccessful one. One of the key drivers behind virtual collaboration is the increase in social business software and communication technology. With this technology, working with someone across the country doesn’t have to be challenging or expensive.
When your business is utilizing the best technological options available to connect your team and increase collaboration, the success of your business will grow. It’s a simple formula, and one that more and more companies are discovering. Virtual workers (less cost + right talent) + improved collaboration (more communication) = great business success.

In today’s business world, more and more companies are expanding the reach of their employees across cities, states and even countries. Now, more than ever, virtual teams are being built and working together on company projects. Whether they are brought on the team on a project by project basis or as full-time company employees, the virtual worker trend in here to stay.
Facilitating this trend is the ability to connect with anyone anywhere at any time. The internet and web conferencing tools like DimDim and Skype have allowed face to face interactions to happen over the web, rather than in person. Online project management solutions can keep the entire team on track, no matter where they are located. Businesses can also feel better knowing they chose the right candidate for the job, regardless of where they are located, because they can stay connected to the company and the work at hand from anywhere.
