The document discusses tools that can be used for collaboration in distributed teams. It lists several collaboration tools from Cisco, Webex, Jabber, Outlook, Skype, Sharepoint, TFS, Google Hangouts, Drive, and Trello that allow for video calls, screen sharing, instant messaging, document repositories, and project management. It also notes that face-to-face communication is still the most effective method of conveying information within a team. The number of people working remotely is increasing significantly and will continue to do so, highlighting the importance of virtual collaboration tools. However, it cautions that tools should not define how a team operates and emphasizes experimentation to find what works best.
