Future of Education | YouTube

I personally feel that video tutorials are the future of education and communication... There are many leading factors that influence my opinion: (1) the rapid growth and development of online courses; (2) video communication for iPhone 4 and online chat programs; (3) the increase in popularity of companies to include videos on their websites (also influenced by the benefits of Google searches); and (4) the demand and increase of “how-to” videos on YouTube. Additionally, the rapidly growing number of views on our online tutorials about SAP Business One inspired me to write this blog. And we wanted to offer a “thank you” to the viewers.

Here's another great SAP Business One success story by SAP-TV. This short video is about StyleWest, a company that brings branding, distribution, and marketing under one roof for multiple apparel and footwear brands. StyleWest once strained under their dramatic growth, but they now have total control of their business in one single solution that they will be able to grow into for years to come. SAP Business One now provides Style West with views into their inventory across multiple divisions, tracking all transactions from order to cash. Check out their story.
