Some companies had already integrated home office as an integral part of their working model. For others, however, this is still quite new territory, characterized by major upheavals. The Corona pandemic in particular has driven many companies to send their employees to the home office. This has caused many employers to worry that the quality of communication and collaboration is suffering and that employees are feeling lonely.    <\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inc.com\/scott-mautz\/a-2-year-stanford-study-shows-astonishing-productivity-boost-of-working-from-home.html\">study by Stanford University<\/a> found that employees who work 100% from home were actually more productive, but often feel lonely and isolated. On the other hand, those who worked 100% in the office often felt distracted. <\/p>\n<p>However, the former does not have to be the case, because there are many ways to promote and ensure successful communication, collaboration and productivity in teams. All that is needed is the right tools that optimally support employees. <\/p>\n<p>In this article, you&#8217;ll learn how different tools support remote team collaboration and increase productivity. As a Microsoft partner, we present Microsoft tools with which we have already had many years of experience and which we find most effective. <\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_85 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/div>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.inkubit.com\/en\/blog\/2026\/08\/25\/5-ways-to-increase-productivity-and-collaboration-in-remote-teams-with-microsoft-collaboration-tools\/#Collaboration_in_the_workplace_is_constantly_evolving\" >Collaboration in the workplace is constantly evolving<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.inkubit.com\/en\/blog\/2026\/08\/25\/5-ways-to-increase-productivity-and-collaboration-in-remote-teams-with-microsoft-collaboration-tools\/#Five_types_of_collaboration_tools_to_improve_productivity\" >Five types of collaboration tools to improve productivity<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.inkubit.com\/en\/blog\/2026\/08\/25\/5-ways-to-increase-productivity-and-collaboration-in-remote-teams-with-microsoft-collaboration-tools\/#Project_management_tools_to_make_sure_everything_goes_according_to_plan\" >Project management tools to make sure everything goes according to plan<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.inkubit.com\/en\/blog\/2026\/08\/25\/5-ways-to-increase-productivity-and-collaboration-in-remote-teams-with-microsoft-collaboration-tools\/#Video_conferencing_builds_relationships\" >Video conferencing builds relationships<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.inkubit.com\/en\/blog\/2026\/08\/25\/5-ways-to-increase-productivity-and-collaboration-in-remote-teams-with-microsoft-collaboration-tools\/#Things_get_done_faster_via_chat\" >Things get done faster via chat<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.inkubit.com\/en\/blog\/2026\/08\/25\/5-ways-to-increase-productivity-and-collaboration-in-remote-teams-with-microsoft-collaboration-tools\/#Reduce_delays_%E2%80%93_review_and_sign_documents_in_real_time\" >Reduce delays &#8211; review and sign documents in real time<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/www.inkubit.com\/en\/blog\/2026\/08\/25\/5-ways-to-increase-productivity-and-collaboration-in-remote-teams-with-microsoft-collaboration-tools\/#Cloud_storage_with_version_control_for_more_organization\" >Cloud storage with version control for more organization<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/www.inkubit.com\/en\/blog\/2026\/08\/25\/5-ways-to-increase-productivity-and-collaboration-in-remote-teams-with-microsoft-collaboration-tools\/#Implementation_of_collaboration_tools\" >Implementation of collaboration tools<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-9\" href=\"https:\/\/www.inkubit.com\/en\/blog\/2026\/08\/25\/5-ways-to-increase-productivity-and-collaboration-in-remote-teams-with-microsoft-collaboration-tools\/#Conclusion_%E2%80%93_How_digital_solutions_help_small_and_medium-sized_businesses\" >Conclusion &#8211; How digital solutions help small and medium-sized businesses<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Collaboration_in_the_workplace_is_constantly_evolving\"><\/span>Collaboration in the workplace is constantly evolving<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element\">\n<p>First and foremost, collaboration means working together towards a project or goal, and it&#8217;s more important today than ever. But a successful collaboration does not always go as smoothly as planned. Sometimes, teams lack a shared vision or team members don&#8217;t understand their tasks, leading to confusion and inefficiency.  <\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s why choosing the right collaboration tools is so important. Fortunately, workplace collaboration has evolved significantly compared to the days of endless email threads and recurring meetings. Today&#8217;s tools take advantage of an always-connected network with real-time access to files and collaboration suitable for distributed teams and hybrid forms of work.  <\/p>\n<p>So-called collaboration tools such as video conferencing and cloud computing software have emerged to improve efficiency, productivity and collaboration in the team.<\/p>\n<p>The importance and necessity of collaboration tools became particularly evident during the height of COVID-19. Many employees were now forced to work at remote locations for extended periods of time. According <a class=\"tve-froala\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gartner.com\/en\/newsroom\/press-releases\/2021-08-23-gartner-survey-reveals-44-percent-rise-in-workers-use-of-collaboration-tools-since-2019\">to a survey by Gartner Inc<\/a>. In 2021, almost 80 percent of employees will use collaboration tools for their work, compared to just over half of employees in 2019.   <\/p>\n<p>There are many types of <a class=\"tve-froala fr-basic\" href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/de-de\/microsoft-teams\/collaboration\">online collaboration tools<\/a> that help teams communicate effectively with each other and stay coordinated. The right tools at the right time ensure that teams can work more efficiently and employees feel optimally supported.

Luckily, there are <a class=\"tve-froala\" href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/de-de\/microsoft-365\/project\/project-management\">project management tools<\/a> that help manage all of these tasks effectively. Since every project member has access and dashboards can be viewed during a team call, collaboration and communication within the team are always strengthened. In addition, an overview can be used to optimally distribute resources and manage budgets. Employees can be assigned to individual project tasks according to their knowledge and financial resources can be optimally managed.     <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element\">\n<h3 class=\"\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Video_conferencing_builds_relationships\"><\/span>Video conferencing builds relationships<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Often, you&#8217;re in a situation where an important meeting is about to take place, but half of the team is traveling or working remotely. <a class=\"tve-froala\" href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/de-de\/microsoft-teams\/video-conferencing\"> Video conferencing<\/a> is a way to get all the benefits of meeting in person without having to go through the costs and challenges of in-person planning.  <em><a class=\"tve-froala\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/feed\/update\/urn:li:activity:6978248952387100672\">Discover exciting features in Microsoft Teams in this post.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element\">\n<h3 class=\"\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Things_get_done_faster_via_chat\"><\/span>Things get done faster via chat<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Sometimes the most efficient way is to simply ask a quick question and get a prompt answer.

However, for the tools to be helpful, they must easily integrate with other solutions that are already in use. In addition, change management plays a role in the learning curve of introducing new tools. As new team members join, it may take some time for them to get used to using the tools. A short <a class=\"tve-froala\" href=\"https:\/\/www.inkubit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/CC1595_MSTeams_QuickStartGuide_EN_Final_4.18.22-1.pdf\">&#8220;start guide&#8221;,<\/a> YouTube channels or a professional digitization consultant can help to speed up the training of employees.    <\/p>\n<p>More and more small and medium-sized businesses are opting for such collaboration tools because they are useful, affordable, and scalable.
