Andy Jordan, President of Roffensian Consulting In today's global workplace managing remote resources is the norm, and many organizations believe that they are skilled at ensuring remote teams are as efficient and effective as possible. However, in reality many companies are managing remote teams the same way as they did 5 or even 10 years ago, and the pace of technology has made those approaches obsolete. This has a real impact on an organization's ability to deliver, as well as affecting employee morale, engagement and personal productivity.

About Spotlight PPM
There is a fundamental shift underway that is disrupting the way we think about work and our work environments. No one will argue that the concept of the traditional workplace with everyone under "one roof" is obsolete. Rapidly increasing numbers ofremote workers, telecommuters, outside contractors, freelancers and those working from home, clearly demonstrate that today’s workforce is growing more fractured and distributed. With that comes a significant need to replace the synergies, communication and collaboration normally associated with working closely together. Spotlight is designed to recreate and augment all that would be diminished or lost. Spotlight is a communication & task management platform designed for the distributed workforce. Using the most effective principles of social media based networking and Agile task management, Spotlight provides a highly collaborative, effective and engaging system for distributed teams to manage projects and tasks from anywhere, any time, on any device.
