Paula Thorton pointed these post out this morning and there are actually a quick, interesting read.
Over at the Jive Software blog, Go Big Always, there are two interviews with attendees of the Jive Enterprise UI Summit.
First up is SAP’s Dan Rosenberg.
Do you see change occurring and if so, what’s driving that change?
The main thing that is changing is that the buying decision for enterprise software is moving from the CIO level and into the hands of the users themselves. These users have expectations based on popular retail products and the web.
Followed by Adobe’s Matthias Zeller
Do you see change occurring and if so, what’s driving that change?
Absolutely. I think engaging an easy to use user interface has become a sales driver and competitive differentiator in the world of enterprise software.
I’m honestly much more inclined to think like Dan Rosenberg over Matthias Zeller but that is because I am a pragmatist. That being said I certainly understand the potential for skunkworks
enterprise mashups.
