SAP TV 2.0, The Future of Video is Now!

by Sven Herold (SAP AG), Jan 24th, 2012

Welcome to the new and improved SAP TV! We had one thing in mind when we planned this exciting new launch -- to create a simpler, clearer platform that provides the same friendly usability of your favorite video sharing sites. And, for the first time, all content will be readily available for quick viewing on your tablet and smartphone.

When we launched the platform almost four years ago, it was state of the art. A lot of our competitors followed suit and created similar solutions for their audio visual communication needs. Now, after four years, it is time to move to the top of the pack, once again.

The site now includes the latest mobile and social media capabilities. With the click of a button, it's now easier to share your favorite videos on Twitter, Facebook and other consumer friendly sites, the player supports numerous languages for a broader global reach and uses the latest technology.

But one thing hasn't changed: good storytelling remains our number one goal. The site will continue to tell great video stories as well as provide room for written news and information. We will now connect the top video stories to our products and offerings with articles and blogs that give context and insight. You can find all additional content in the new spotlight section. It features the three main stories, but when you click on one you find more content. In this new area we will also include selective articles from our Making Of SAPTV Blog. Also new is the category "SAP on TV", in which we feature selective stories and interviews about SAP from TV networks around the world.

Ourwill remain the main source for journalists. It will have its re-launch in Q2.

Main new features of SAP-TV.com:
- New video player
- Story and spotlight area for editorial content
- Support of mobile devices, tablets and smartphones
- Complete social media integration
- 28 subtitle languages, 14 audio languages, 8 interface languages for the video player (to be fully rolled out by Q2)

The site is still in BETA mode, so we ask for your patience as we iron out the wrinkles. The blackberry interface will be implemented by next week.

We hope you like the new www.sap-tv.com. We look forward to your feedback and comments, just send an email to saptv@sap.com.

And, we invite you to tune in regularly!
All the best
The SAP TV team
