Spring Editorial 2013 – Overview of SAP's Design and UX Activities in 2013
April 23, 2013: 
In
his 2013 spring editorial, our author provides a brief overview
of SAP's activities in the UI design and usability field this year,
such as conference activities, usability testing activities at user
group events, as well as the sponsorship for the Interaction Design
Foundation (IDF).
SAP at CHI 2012 – Austin, Texas
April 20, 2012: This editorial introduces the upcoming CHI 2012 conference in Austin, Texas, offers a preview of SAP User Experience's activities at the conference, and – finally – reveals a connection between the conference venue and the SAP Design Guild Website.
New Accessibility Edition and More
March
9, 2012: In the first editorial for 2012, our author announces
the new Accessibility edition on the SAP Design Guild Website, provides
an overview of SAP's sponsoring activities in 2012, and finally gives
away a secret.
SAP User Experience at DUXU 2011 and More...
July 7, 2011: 
In
the summer editorial, our author draws the readers' attention
to two events: Firstly, to the two paper sessions at the DUXU 2011
conference that are being organized by SAP UX members and that already
appeared in our SAP
UI News; secondly, to the publication of our new highlight topic "Designing
for a Sustainable Future", which has already been released – at
an early stage – to support one of the two DUXU 2011 sessions,
namely the one focusing on sustainability.
SAP at CHI 2011 – Vancouver, Canada
April
12, 2011: Five years after the CHI 2006 in Montreal, the CHI conference is
returning to Canada and will be held in beautiful Vancouver, British
Columbia, famous for offering some of the most spectecular scenery
for a city in the world. Our editorial describes the upcoming CHI
2011 conference, the venue, and SAP User Experience's activities
at the conference.
10th Anniversary Edition (Nearly) Complete
March
30, 2011: At the end of March 2011, the 10th anniversary year
of the SAP Design Guild Website will be over, and the Website will
celebrate its 11th anniversary. We will also complete the 10th
Anniversary Edition in time – or
rather, nearly in time, because two articles are still in progress
and may not make it into the edition by then. However, we regard
this delay only as a minor issue. It reflects that in the real world,
not all plans are put into practice as intended.
Final Spurt for 2010 on the SAP Design Guild
December
14, 2010: As
2010 draws to a close, the SAP Design Guild Website publishes a small
wave of articles for its 10th Anniversary Edition. In this editorial,
our author would like to touch briefly on the challenges we faced
with the anniversary edition in the summer, spend a few words on
the newly published articles, and provide a brief outlook on the
10th Anniversary Edition in 2011. Then he will take the opportunity
to direct your attention to a new section on the SAP Design Guild,
the UI Design Blinks, which has not been covered in an editorial
yet. He will close this editorial with a glimpse at the first ideas
for the SAP Design Guild Website in 2011.
SAP User Experience at UPA 2010
May
7, 2010: "For
the first time in its history, the UPA conference will travel to
the heart of Europe," proclaims the UPA 2010 website – namely,
Munich, Germany, where it will be held from May 24 to 28, 2010. And
it’s also coming to the home country of SAP! While SAP is now
a multinational company with more than 95,000 customers in over 120
countries, it was founded in 1972 in Walldorf, Germany, where its
headquarters still reside – about 300 km (or 200 miles) from
Munich. Being so close to the conference, SAP User Experience (SAP
UX) feels a strong pull to participate and will do so in a number
of ways. In the editorial, our authors will take a brief look at
SAP UX's upcoming activities at the conference.
10th Anniversary of the SAP Design Guild
April
8, 2010: Ten years ago, on April 1, 2000 the SAP Design Guild Website was
opened to the public. In this editorial, long-time team members Christine
Ronnewinkel and Gerd Waloszek want to say thank to the visitors of
the site, look briefly look back in the site's history, and provide
a brief outlook of the future.
Announcing the 10th Anniversary Edition
March
3, 2010: In less than a month's time, the SAP Design Guild Website will celebrate
its 10th anniversary. The SAP Design Guild team decided to celebrate
this anniversary in a special way, namely by cumulatively collecting
articles in an "anniversary edition" throughout the anniversary
year. In this editorial, the team announces the edition.
