SAP User Experience – Improving the User Experience of SAP Applications

SAP User Experience

Design Excellence

The core business of SAP User Experience is taking the UI design of SAP's Business Suite, SME, Networked Solutions, and Industry applications to the next level of design excellence. Interaction designers work closely with solution management and development to design and develop applications that lead the industry.

Branding and Visual Design

Key initiatives within SAP, which are driven by SAP User Experience, are harmonizing the look and feel of SAP's products, embodying SAP's strong brand in each product, and enhancing the user experience through visual design.

UI Guidelines

UI Guidelines are critical in guaranteeing consistency across products and product lines and improving the user experience. SAP User Experience defines these guidelines and works with development to ensure they are realized in the SAP NetWeaver platform.

User-Centered Design and the Product Innovation Lifecycle

The user-centered design process forms the foundation for SAP User Experience's work and is integrated into SAP's product development lifecycle. Cross-functional collaboration, user validation, and design iteration are core to this process.

Design for All

Building accessible products is important to SAP and its customers. SAP User Experience helps teams comply with regulations globally.

Fostering the Design Community

SAP User Experience participates in key industry events including UPA, CHI, and World Usability Day. We support the wider design community with the SAP Design Guild, a public Website for the exchange of ideas on the topic of UI design.
