Social Business & Video

In recent years, text based information on the Internet has given ways to richer content such as Audio, Video, Images; It is getting easier for people to create, edit, and share rich content. 
Corporations recognize the power of video for both internal and external purposes and look for platforms to create their own channels to manage their content.

In parallel, the rise of enterprise social media is fundamentally changing the way people work. It empowers workers to develop, nurture, and remain in contact with a network of their colleagues; respond quickly to business opportunities by calling upon the expertise in their network; and discuss and refine new creative ideas with communities of coworkers, partners, and customers.
