You started a new job, or maybe you moved in to a new role at your company, and quickly found out that you would be using SAP Business One to do your job. Or perhaps you have joined a new company in a management role and want to learn about the software your company uses to run its business and generate the reports you will need.
Whatever the circumstance, if you are looking to get up-to-speed with a basic overview of SAP Business One, this short video series is for you.
Overview | About the Video Series
Our purpose with ONE.Source, as part of the greater ASUG mission, is to help you make better use of your SAP technology. We want to help you learn and understand what SAP Business One can do, as well as how you can leverage it effectively to better do your job or run your business.
We assembled this three-part "Introduction to SAP Business One" video series from an existing customer's perspective, for those new to the software at companies already running SAP Business One. There is no shortage of videos highlighting customer testimonials or why a potential customer should choose this solution, it can be hard to find introductory material geared towards new users. We hope ONE.Source can help bridge that gap with this series, our 15-Minute Fundamentals video series, and the other video tutorials planned in our year-round curriculum.
