SAP Design Guild Newsletters 2001

Updated: June 24, 2010

Newsletters: 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1

Nothing gets lost at the SAP Design Guild. Here is the archive of our newsletters from 2001.

 

SAP Design Guild Newsletter No. 6 - 10/19/2001

From now on, we offer print versions not only of the articles in the Innovation and Community section but also of the cookbooks and styleguides in the Construction area.

We would also like to announce the topic of our new Innovation edition planned for the end of this year: It will deal with accessibility issues (section 508). This edition will be published in cooperation with the ACC (Accessibility Competence Center) at SAP Labs, Palo Alto.

Please, feel free to contact us, if you want to contribute to this edition.

 

SAP Design Guild Newsletter No. 5 - 08/21/2001

Today, we published new articles in the "Opinion" section:

  • the Editorial How Much Creativity Can We Generate?
  • the Design Tidbits offer a short series of two articles on a personal approach to design and design tools: My Design Tools – Part 1 and 2

Please, note that this is the last Opinion issue of the SAP Design Guild. In a couple of weeks, we will replace the Opinion section with a new Community section.

With the new section, we hope to better promote the community character of the SAP Design Guild. It will continue to offer design articles, opinions and readers' contributions, but no longer on a regular basis. In the beginning, it will include the discussion forum (external version only) and the "events" page.

We are eagerly waiting for your suggestions on how we can expand and improve the new Community section.

 

SAP Design Guild Newsletter No. 4 - 07/27/2001

Today, we published new articles in the Opinion section:

  • a report of SAP Usability Activities at ASUG 2001 conference in the Readers' Contributions corner
  • the Editorial What is an Application Design?
  • the Design Tidbits offer an article on Mapping a Conceptual Interface to a Physical Interface

Moreover, there is a page on Accessibility 508 in the Construction section.

There are also new additions to the G oodies section:

  • There is a new "Events" page
  • Optical Illusions: An Introduction to Perception added
  • Software-Ergonomie ´99 conference website (in German only!!) published

Last but not least even more good news: From now on, we provide print versions of our articles.

Enjoy reading (and printing :-)).

SAP Design Guild - Third Edition - 06/08/2001

We are pleased to announce the third edition featuring the topic Portals - The Information, Functionality and Services I Need at My Fingertips. Here, experts discuss enterprise portals – their role, design and ingredients.

From now on, we will offer all of the SAP Design Guild's content free of charge. We hope that this move will make the SAP Design Guild more accessible to visitors interested in the design field.

Enjoy reading!
