Summary: Today’s accelerating reality requires teaming: continuously, in real time, and always taking into account the larger picture. In industries such as healthcare and transportation, for instance, teaming is essential to improving outcomes and is becoming more valuable to organizations than ever before. Microsoft’s own research shows that workers are now on twice as many teams as they were just five years ago.
Organizations today must pursue continual improvement across a wide range of functions, driven by customers, partners, suppliers and investors. Teaming on this scale requires more than a conscious willingness to innovate. It calls for an array of enabling technologies. This Forbes Insights executive brief examines both those technologies and the cultural shift required to maximize the value of collaboration.

The Microsoft Whiteboard app allows you to share your ideas naturally on the digital canvas of a Surface Hub. The canvas expands along with your creations so that you never run out of space. However, to use it, you need to enable Whiteboard via Admin Portal. Also, a newer version of Whiteboard is available that will eventually look to replace the existing Whiteboard app on Surface Hub. The latter can be found pinned to the Welcome screen.
Surface Hub customers can stay on the current Whiteboard app or install the new version alongside the existing app. This post gives you a peek at how to enable the more exact version of Microsoft Office Whiteboard for Windows 11/10.
First things first, if you are planning to use Microsoft Whiteboard on Windows 11 and Windows 10 then, you’ll need to have an Office 365 or Microsoft Account. Why? All the whiteboard sessions are stored in the cloud. So, it is essential to have either a Microsoft account or Office 365 account.
If you are not aware, Microsoft Whiteboard comes automatically enabled for applicable Office 365 tenants. The users can obtain the app for their preferred platform (Windows 11/10 and iOS users) and sign in unless they’ve chosen to disable the service.
To enable or disable Whiteboard, do the following:
Go to the Office 365 Admin Center ( the center lets you manage all aspects of Office 365, including setup, configuration, etc.). There, open the Admin Center home page and navigate to Settings.
Next, move to Services & add-ins.
Upon landing on the Service & add-ins page, scroll down, and look for the Whiteboard option. When visible, select it.
Now, on the Whiteboard panel, toggle Turn Whiteboard on or off for your entire organization to On.
Click Save.
The Microsoft Whiteboard app has one shortcoming. Since it can be enabled through the Admin portal, you cannot use the app for Office 365 Personal and Home.
That apart, the app offers an infinite canvas where imagination has room to grow and share your ideas naturally. It is also optimized for pen, touch, and keyboard inputs.
For additional information, visit office.com.
Download Microsoft Whiteboard from Microsoft Store
If I can recall correctly, Whiteboard first came to Surface Pro devices and was then rolled out for Windows 11/10. However, now, it has hit the general availability for both iOS and web versions. You can now obtain it from the Microsoft Store and use it on any PC.
You can choose between different pens, shapes, markers. It also offers an Active pen, Ink to shape, Ink to the table, and object snapping. To save the current board, you can choose to save it as a PDF.
Is Microsoft Whiteboard free?
Whiteboard is available for free for Windows and iOS to anyone who has a Microsoft account. Earlier it was limited to Office 365 users. There is a web version, then you have the Windows app and then the iOS.
How do I use a mouse and keyboard in Whiteboard?
You need to select a pen from the toolbar and then use the mouse to draw on the canvas. The process repeats for erasing except that you need to select the eraser. If you want to insert an object or text, right-click on it and choose to add it from the options menu. By enabling the Enhance inked shapes automatically feature in Settings, you can automatically turn your hand-drawn shapes into precise shapes.

The best document editing and management software can provide a simple way to administrate and organize your team's files.
Document editing and management software has become increasingly common as businesses continue to promote working from home (opens in new tab). This means employees being able to work remotely while still being able to collaborate and save the same documents they are working on.
While there are a number of office suites and document storage options available, not all work well when it comes to collaboration (opens in new tab). It's not simply the case that employees need to be able to share files as much as work on the same files in real time, such as spreadsheets and documents.
This means the best document editing and management software needs to be able to account for this while still maintaining a proper system of filing and archiving, while keeping such files available for team editing as required. Often this will involve cloud document storage (opens in new tab) services being built into the software, or at least available as an option.
The overall result is a software platform which not only make it easy for teams to work with, but also ensures safe and secure storage of documents.
We'll therefore feature the best document editing and management software currently available.
We've also featured the best cloud storage.
Microsoft Office is probably the platform most people think of first when it comes to office productivity suites, with the cloud-based Microsoft 365 (previously named Office 365) being the latest incarnation.
What ensured that Office became a market leader is the comprehensive way data can be covered by different applications and moved between them, making working more efficient and hassle-free. With Word (opens in new tab), Excel (opens in new tab), PowerPoint (opens in new tab), and Outlook (opens in new tab) forming the core programs, these cover everything from documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and emails - in effect covering most essential office needs. In addition to that, OneDrive offers online saving and backups to keep your files safe.
While there are alternatives to Microsoft 365 (opens in new tab), most rivals attempt to play catch-up with Microsoft rather than provide innovative new features, and Microsoft 365 still remains the office suite with the most comprehensive range of features. And even if you do use one of these alternatives, the chances are you are going to be working with document formats created specifically for MS Office, and handle data from customers and suppliers who are using the MS Office platform.
While Microsoft 365 does have its critics, the bottom line is that nobody does office productivity better than Microsoft, and the core applications in Office have yet to be bettered.

Scaling down the canvass a little, Evernote, as its name suggests, specializes in note taking, filing and sharing, and has been widely adopted in the work place (and by individuals) for a number of years.
Despite its digital makeup, it can process hand written notes as well as receipts and audio files and makes everything accessible on both desktop and mobile devices. It also has the collaboration factor, with users able to work on shared notebooks that update instantly on editing.
Evernote is available for businesses with basic, plus and premium models. This expands storage on the free offering, and makes it easy to share content, digitize important documents, capture image-centric brainstorms, and keep track of finances.
You may well be thinking that Evernote would work well in addition, rather than instead of, your current word processing and productivity tools. Such a demand has been noted – pun intended – and the service can be fully integrated with Google Drive, Outlook, Slack, Salesforce and others.

Sales-focused document manager PandaDoc describes itself as ‘the future of documents’, and it reports statistics that apparently show the difference it makes to your business’s bottom line. According to the service, clients report 50% less paperwork, 30% higher close rates, and 15% higher value per closed rate thanks to PandaDoc.
Your sales team is salivating, but what exactly does the program do? Well, features include a document editor that comes with themed templates for consistent branding, content and image libraries to store reusable assets, cost and margin calculators, document analytics to show how long people spend on each item, a configure, price and quote (CPQ) tool and many more.
While workspaces are available for collaboration, multiple users are not able to access and work on a document at the same time, which feel likes a drawback. Nevertheless, the business-focus of PandaDoc will appeal to those who want to specifically manage sales and finance via their document manager, something the other services we’ve covered don’t offer.
The Adobe Document Cloud works with the proprietary PDF file, rather than a range of common file types as some of the above listed software does. However, in business PDF files are ubiquitous, so it makes sense to have a dedicated software package that can not just work with these but also allow the widest range of editing features.
While many people will be familiar with the read-only PDF file, the Adobe Document Cloud allows the full range of creation and editing, even with existing PDF files. There are also additional features such as the ability to merge PDFs, password protect, as well as esign PDF documents for returning agreements.
This makes the Adobe Document Cloud both incredibly versatile and useful as a document editing and management platform, allowing full control of your files in ways that common document formats either do not support.
Additionally, because so many businesses scan documents into PDF format for their digital archives, this makes Adobe Document Cloud an even more essential part of your office software range, even if you also use other programs for different tasks.
And as documents can be commonly exported into PDF format by other office software, this can make the Adobe Document Cloud something of a master controller for all your document editing and storage.

How do handwriting recognition apps work?
Born from an older type of technology known as optical character recognition, handwriting recognition tech converts the written word into digital approximations.
Today’s mobile apps let you draw letters, strokes and shapes onscreen with iOS and Android devices. However, only a select number of programs and apps will recognize, translate and digitize that input. Thanks to the high computational power of today’s mobile devices and desktop computers, handwriting recognition technology can help digitize unique handwriting styles.
After scanning a document, or once someone writes a note on a touchscreen, the app tries to separate each letter to compare it to a database of letters to find a match for the handwriting. More advanced handwriting recognition software utilizes complex algorithms to identify characters before churning out a digital approximation.
Over time, handwriting recognition tech will get better at deciphering even some of the hardest-to-read handwriting.
