Interesting software tools to facilitate homework during Corona

1. Administration tool in 'the cloud'.

  • Always have your project monitoring and administration at hand, ROBAWS is the ideal solution! You can log in to this web application independently of location, time and device. You will hardly notice the difference between working at home and at the office.
  • WAPPY is a work order app for time & material registration. Crews in the construction industry are slowly starting to pick up the thread for projects where they are not in the customer's private sphere. Even now, site registrations are needed. But filling them out digitally eliminates the need for physical contact with those in charge at the office who process these work orders.

2. Conference calls

  • It is unseen how Zoom suddenly gained popularity due to the Corona virus. This application is so easy to use and requires limited installation time. Once in the digital 'meeting room', it is like holding a real meeting among colleagues. It includes various functionalities such as screen sharing, showing presentations and to shield yourself from the private sphere, you can change the background of your image. Zoom has a free version with which you can already do a lot!
  • Teams brings everything together in a shared workspace where you can chat, meet, share files, and work with business apps. Get your team on the same page with group chats, online meetings, calls and web conferences. And collaborate on files via built-in Office 365 apps, such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint and SharePoint.

3. Digital task board

  • Still a fan of sharing post-it notes among colleagues? Trello, Wunderlist and Evernote are 3 well-known digital boards that give just that same 'feel'. Done with a task drag them into the 'finished' column. No task for you? Pass them on to another colleague.

4. Online file management

  • No need for a local server to have all your files at hand anywhere. Google Drive is your server in the cloud, by logging in to your gmail account you can access files from anywhere. 
  • Rather not have an account with gmail? Then create an account on Dropbox to manage your files in the cloud.

5. IT support
