In light of current global health concerns, ×îв©²ÊÍøÕ¾ has made the decision to switch its entire organization to remote work.
Until the Coronavirus (COVID-19) has been brought under control, a majority of our 8000+ employees across 10+ countries will be working from home. We're able to make this shift quickly, in part, because our suite of apps were designed, specifically, to support and foster remote collaboration. Since more and more companies are adopting similar work from home (WFH) policies, we wanted to offer the same set of tools we use to everyone for free, during this time.
Introducing ×îв©²ÊÍøÕ¾ Remotely
We all know there's nothing like sitting face to face with your team, collaborating on a project. The next best thing would be a digital solution that feels as easy and natural as an in-person meeting, even when you're on the other side of the planet.
Remotely includes a selection of apps that do just that, each for a different component of business communication. Together, this advanced software suite fosters communication and collaboration with your colleagues and customers, no matter where you are.
Communication Tools
When working remote, communication is key. Cliq provides an array of communication options — chat, audio or video — allowing you to discuss important matters with teammates or customers alike. You can also use the app to create intelligent bots that will help ease your remote work - they can fetch you notification or alert you about things.
Group communication — whether it's business meetings or remote training — can be achieved through ×îв©²ÊÍøÕ¾ Meeting or ×îв©²ÊÍøÕ¾ ShowTime. These advanced web conferencing and training tools make it possible to keep the conversation going, even when you're at a distance.
Collaboration Tools
Whether you're working together on a document or a project, collaborative team spaces designed for remote work, such as ×îв©²ÊÍøÕ¾ WorkDrive, can come in handy. For project management, if you follow the waterfall method, we offer ×îв©²ÊÍøÕ¾ Projects, and if you use agile project management, we suggest Sprints, both of which will be available in Remotely.
Remote Assistance
×îв©²ÊÍøÕ¾ Remotely helps you assist your customers and your field engineers/service agents at the same time.
×îв©²ÊÍøÕ¾ Assist is a cloud-based remote support and access app that helps you troubleshoot and correct issue from a distance through web-based, on-demand support sessions.
×îв©²ÊÍøÕ¾ Lens uses augmented reality to help service technicians do their jobs better. Lens uses the customer's phone camera to show the technician the conditions on site, then the technician is able to annotate and highlight the video stream, so the customer can see what they need to fix.
Productivity
The productivity tools included in Remotely enable you to create and collaborate on content, no matter where you are.
×îв©²ÊÍøÕ¾ Writer is a powerful word processing app that enables your colleagues (such as your favorite editor) to offer remote feedback, so you can create the perfect copy.
×îв©²ÊÍøÕ¾ Sheet makes spreadsheet creation easier by letting collaborators contribute data in real time. With ×îв©²ÊÍøÕ¾ Show, you get a powerful but easy-to-use presentation builder, that allows multiple people to work on the same slides at the same time, no versioning required.
These are the tools ×îв©²ÊÍøÕ¾ uses to work remotely.

Hi Team, I have gone through the details of this app. It is an amazing app accomodating all needs for a WFH solution. Couple of queries - 1. Is this app restricted only for ×îв©²ÊÍøÕ¾ employees and teams. 2. Will this be used on a long term (even after 1st July) or only for the period of COVID19 outbreak. 3. After July 1st what will be an approx. cost for the app.
Hi, Thanks for your interest. 1. This service is not restricted to ×îв©²ÊÍøÕ¾ and our teams. We are opening it up for the world. Any team can sign up. 2. Remotely as a service will most certainly continue beyond July 1. That date was set tentatively purely on account of the Corona Virus scare. We will re-assess and figure out how to go. 3. It is too early to talk about what the subscription cost would be. But like all things ×îв©²ÊÍøÕ¾, it will be priced very competitively (affordable!) and we will announce at the appropriate time. Right now, the idea is to help as many teams as possible move to remote work (Work From Home) as easily as possible. Regards, (on behalf of ×îв©²ÊÍøÕ¾ Remotely Team)
WOW. Das ist beeindruckend. Würde es gerne nutzen und empfehlen.
Danke, Ralf. I am afraid I don't know any more Deutsche at this moment of time. Do use Remotely and recommend to others if you like. Also thanks for offering to spread the good word. Bis Bald!
