What is the SAP Design Guild?
Last update: 01/24/2008 • By the SAP Design Guild Team
Dear visitors,
User-centered design of business applications is fundamental to SAP's software
approach. Hence the existence of the SAP Design Guild. This Website is dedicated
exclusively to demonstrating this commitment and sharing knowledge with the
user interface community at large.
The SAP Design Guild is a stage for UI people: Here they can exchange information and opinions on visual and user interface design issues. In addition, SAP offers its design resources here, be it style guides, methods, or insights on how a user-centered development process should be carried out and how the mind change within a company towards user-friendly software can be facilitated.
It comprises four main subject areas – Home & Services, Resources, Editions, Community, and Goodies – that allow you access to guidelines and articles about user interface design.
- The Resources section comprises the more or less stable part of the SAP Design Guild, the design resources. Here, visitors can access cookbooks, toolkits and style guides covering every aspect of the software design of the SAP product family.
- The Editions section presents our editions, which typically appear once or twice a year. Here, contributors from outside and inside SAP dedicate articles to a certain topic that is "hot" in the SAP or UI community.
- Community is our active stage. There, you will find, for example, an Events page, Editorials, Stories, Design Tidbits, and a Books & People corner.
- The Goodies section offers link collections, glossaries, a glimpse of the SAP UI history, desktop motives, and other useful stuff.
The aim of this Website is to centralize design expertise and to make it available to everyone. SAP has set the ball rolling by publishing its own knowledge and experience and cordially invites you to share your ideas.
Sincerely, Your SAP Design Guild Team
