World Usability Day 2006 – "Making Life Easy"
By Christine Wiegand & Gerd Waloszek, SAP AG, User Experience – 11/24/2006
For an increasing number of customers, product usability has become a central quality criterion. To answer these requirements of simplicity and intuitiveness, the Usability Professionals' Association (UPA) initiated World Usability Day 2006 (WUD) on November 14, promoting the value of usability engineering and user-centered design and the belief that every user has the responsibility to ask for things that work better.
The SAP User Experience team co-hosted a local event in Walldorf together with kuehlhaus AG and the University of Applied Sciences Mannheim, presenting practical examples of usability and holding a panel discussion.
More than 200 visitors (70 external and 150 SAP employees) attended the event in Walldorf and listened to the talks of Prof. Beiderwellen, Christian Reschke (Vorstand kuelhaus AG) and two SAP colleagues. During the breaks, students of the University of Applied Sciences demonstrated interesting designs and applications.
