Highlight Topic "Universal Usability"
We would like to start a new tradition on the SAP Design Guild Website. With
a "Highlight Topic" we intend to offer articles which have already
been published on our Website and relate to a common topic, presented anew
within a coherent framework. We hope that having the articles in one place
will make it easier for our visitors to catch up on a certain topic from the
UI field. We begin with a selection of articles centered on the topic "Universal
Usability."
