User Experience SIG

Improving User Experience is something SAP has been increasingly focusing on for the past couple of years. Many of our SIGs have included UX sessions in their meetings, but as UX affects all areas of SAP and all customers we have decided to collect all of this UX content in one place by creating a UX SIG.

Our first meeting will include some sessions about generic UX issues, but will also have space for delegates to discuss their current UX projects and issues and future plans. These discussions will help build the agenda of future meetings, as well as help us to help each other in this challenging area.

Krishanu Bhattacharya from SAP will be presenting some discussion sessions looking at what your current state & experience of SAP is, along with what you want to get from the UX SIG?

The SIG will include...

• Walkthrough of the SAP UX Strategy
• Implications of the SAP UX Strategy
• Overview of the SAP UX Improvement Framework

Dan Barton from Bluestonex Consulting Ltd will present History of UX.

This session will cover the following:
