If you’ve clicked on this post, you’re likely interested in learning more about user experience (UX) and design topics at SAP, but are perhaps unsure about where to get the most relevant content in a sea of information.
Below are three concrete steps you can take to stay current on our product updates, events, trainings, and more.
1. Bookmark our two main channels
We have two main channels where we exclusively publish user experience and design-related content: SAP Community and Medium. You may also be familiar with the SAP User Experience Community, but please be aware that this site has been discontinued as of March 2021 due to an SAP-wide content consolidation process.
SAP Community
If you’re familiar with SAP Community, you’ll know that it’s home to 2.8 million users, so navigating it to find the content you need can be tricky. Below are some shortcuts to get started with UX and design content.
Hands down the one-stop-shop for all things SAP user experience and design is the SAP Fiori topic page on SAP Community. Here you’ll find everything regarding SAP Fiori, the design system for all SAP products, including the road map, design guidelines, information on tools, the app reference library, and of course relevant blogs with the latest news and developments. You may find it helpful to:
- Bookmark the SAP Fiori topic page on your browser
(Tip: We also have dedicated pages for SAP Fiori elements, SAP Fiori tools, SAP Screen Personas, and more.) - Follow these tags by clicking on the blue button (Follow) on the bottom left of the top shell bar or by subscribing to the respective RSS feeds: User Experience | SAP Fiori | SAP Fiori elements | SAP Fiori tools | SAP Screen Personas | SAP Fiori Makers
- Select the new User Experience Insights category to dive right into our content from the Home page (Home > Blogs > Categories (right shell bar) > User Experience Insights)
SAP Design on Medium
Make sure to also bookmark our SAP Design Medium channel. Here you’ll find thought leadership pieces, knowledge sharing, product updates and enablement material around our products and around the topic of enterprise design in general. You’ll also find interesting pieces from the SAP AppHaus and from the SAP Design Talks. If you're curious about design in general, Medium is also a great jumping off point to discover what's going across different industries from expert and novice voices alike.
2. Follow our UX evangelists
Next, I'll share a list of people who we call our "UX evangelists". These people are great to follow because they are actively and expertely blogging about the topics you need to kickstart your user experience transformation. This is by no means an exhaustive list of our community evangelists, but rather a useful jumping off point.
