SAP Design Guild Design History in Screen Shots
Comparisons | 2011 | 2006-2010 | 2004-2005 | 2003 | 2002 | 2000-2001 | 1999 (Prototype)
By Gerd Waloszek, SAP User Experience, SAP AG – June 22, 2011 (Original version)
We included this page in the 10th Anniversary Edition of the SAP Design Guild because it illustrates how the Website, or at least its design, has changed over the years, making it a perfect addition to the anniversary edition. On this page, we present the SAP Design Guild design history (or evolution) beginning with a prototype from 1999. Then, we show the actual Website from 2000 and continue with redesigns until until the year 2011. That is, we even include the Website's 11th year, or, in other words, the design history includes the publication period of the anniversary edition.
Note: Click the screenshots for larger versions of the screens (appear in a new window) – the history is shown in backward order.
