Hi Ron I haven't read the full report, but I agree with most of the points in the synopsis. My personal feeling about UIs is that - If it doesn't look right, it doesn't feel right. Users Because of the pervasiveness of social media applications, most users expect to find the same or similar functionalities/experiences in other types of applications. For me, some of the key phrases in the abstract are "embedded BI elements", "social or mobile capabilities" and "presented well". Some of these issues have surfaced in discussions on this mailing list - such as whether some functionalities/components should be "core" or "special purpose". These discussions are important from a project management point of view, but they loose significance when regarded from a user point of view. Users simply demand an experience for ERP applications which is similar to that which they have become accustomed to with other apps.
