If you are looking to set up an office overseas, work with partners,  customers, employees, or outsourcing to contractors in places you never heard of, clear cut collaboration is key when working with people from all across the globe, however, this clear cut collaboration can easily get complicated.

2. Selecting The Right Collaboration Tools

You’ll appreciate Office 365’s calendaring systems that allows you to create shared calendars among teams so you can see exactly when everyone is available and Office 365’s Outlook integration makes it easy to set up meetings and video conference as well.
