I was under the impression he works indirectly for SAP via this company that SAP funded (search for similar situation with Vi Hart and/or Alan Kay). Can't argue the old SAP ERP looks outdated (but ... somehow it works :)). Recently SAP released a new product called Cloud for Analytics, here's some of the screenshot: http://www.sapcloudanalytics.com/images/carousel-plan.png http://www.sapcloudanalytics.com/images/carousel-plan.png http://www.sapcloudanalytics.com/images/carousel-discover.png http://www.sapcloudanalytics.com/images/carousel-discover.pn... http://www.sapcloudanalytics.com/images/carousel-visualize.png http://www.sapcloudanalytics.com/images/carousel-visualize.p... http://www.sapcloudanalytics.com/images/carousel-predict.png http://www.sapcloudanalytics.com/images/carousel-predict.png There are still plenty rooms to improve ... PS: I'm part of the Cloud for Analytics team.

(disclaimer: I'm a 23 yr old IT dude) See it's interesting, I would rather use the old UI over what you show here, it could be I'm not really seeing everything, but it looks like all you did was update the graphics and add more white space without adding any real UX improvements, I shudder thinking about trying to explain this "improvement" to whichever dept (finance? marketing? analytics?) this software is meant for. The one thing all my colleagues hate is not being able to see all the data (well really, not being able to see as much data as possible) give 'em cramped boxes over huge whitewashed screens any day of the week.

  I worked on the table for a different SAP product (Lumira) and I think ours works pretty well. It's for business analysts and lets you stack hierarchies in a bunch of different ways. For a large overview of data, it's better to use a different visualization anyways which was a click away in Lumira. http://scn.sap.com/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/38-127432-731382/Slide20.PNG http://scn.sap.com/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/38-127432-7...
