Collaboration can mean the difference between success or failure in an organization. In fact, one survey found that 86 percent of people attribute workplace failures to lack of collaboration.
In today's era of distributed teams and remote workers, technology plays an essential role in collaboration; it can shake up the status quo in a good way. For instance, tools employing artificial intelligence remove the drudgery and add predictive suggestions, making collaboration faster and easier. And today there are new types of collaboration tools which weren't around a few years ago.
Here are five collaboration tools that will disrupt your business in the best way possible.
Video Conferencing Tools
Not that long ago, video conferencing was hard to set up and thus used infrequently. Fast forward to today, and it's becoming a routine way of collaborating. Some small businesses and departments use it daily, because the cost of the apps has come down, bandwidth and network speed has increased making connectivity more reliable, and the ease of use has improved.
The best part is, today's video conferencing tools are nearly device agnostic. You can now participate in a conference on your smartphone, tablet, computer, or television. Popular tools include WebEx and Zoom which are full featured solutions for businesses of all sizes.  GoToMeeting, Join.me, and Skype for Business are alternatives. And if you want to disrupt things even further, share your video meeting with a group on Facebook Live -- apps like Zoom let you broadcast instantly to your Facebook Page.
