The majority of small businesses use more than one piece of software to run their business. The use of more than one piece of software results in inaccuracy, double entry, limitations, and lack of transparency. 

A centralized system is important for running a brewery. By using a single centralized system you can streamline accounting and business management in your brewery, while making your business processes more transparent. By increasing transparency in a brewery operation, it will allow for automated internal transactions, cross department reporting and unobstructed communication.

Social Media – “Everybody’s doing it”

Social Media has been a very hot topic thus far in 2010.  It is important to realize that due to the high influx of global users utilizing Social Media applications, it only makes sense for businesses to follow suit. There are numerous social applications online which are free at our fingertips: Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Google Buzz, MySpace, MSN Messenger, Skype, Foursquare, AOL Chat… However; due to the considerable amount of users, as well as the media attention they create, Facebook and Twitter probably stand out above the rest in the Social Media crowd.

Replace your "Jimmy rigged" management system with the centralized OrchestratedBEER enterprise software solution.

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.
