We are in the process of redesigning an enterprise application that is very information dense. Anyone know if any good resources that could help with any patterns on ui/ux for information dense screens/apps?

The traditional ux pattern for 'enterprise' applications is "dont bother thinking about ux" Hope that helps

I would recommend Edward Tufte's books on data visualization, which are themselves fantastic examples of how to visually arrange information to maximize understanding. "The Visual Display of Quantitative Information" is a great place to start.

Not quite patterns, but I think writings of Jakob Nielsen and his company Nielsen Norman Group may be considered as applying to ‘dense’ interfaces by modern standards—as he's mostly known for his work from the 90s and 2000s. Their priority for the past twenty years is web, but not just casual-user sites, and IMO the principles are universal. Also he and the company have an ongoing series of criticism specialized on corporate intranets. BTW, a persistent theme is that interfaces should be tested on users soon and often—even if just with a few users and a cheap methodology, that's better than no testing. This is the main collection of articles: https://www.nngroup.com/articles/ https://www.nngroup.com/articles/ And there's a tag for ‘design patterns’: https://www.nngroup.com/topic/design-patterns/ https://www.nngroup.com/topic/design-patterns/ I've been meaning to re-read Nielsen's classic ‘Designing Web Usability: The Practice of Simplicity’, which I have in print from mid-2000s, translated. It's likely to be a rather intense return to the past, considering how both the design space and my understanding changed over the years.
