Industry Consensus

“We thought people would use our portal, but now we realize they want to use SAP in their own interface. People will prefer to retain their current user experience. People love Office. You can connect SAP [to Office] so they don't need to leave their comfort zone.“-- Shai Agassi, President, SAP Product & Technology Group

“It is important to simplify and improve the user experience associated with enterprise applications interaction. Specifically, today most enterprise applications have Web-based user interfaces, but knowledge workers often find that these user interaction models are less intuitive to use and interfere with their daily work in Microsoft Office.“
