Discussion Topic: User Experience / Business User Demo

Julien's presentation highlighted some of the issues with OFBiz's current UI. It has been created by developers for developers and not for business users. Business users judge software by its look and feel; and not by its technical ability. It is also the business users that control the budgets for selecting ERP software. OFBiz is losing out to its competition because they look better but may not have the same depth of functionality or flexibility. Also we cannot rely on the technical people convincing their managers that OFBiz is the right choice.

The UX presentation suggested keeping the existing UI for developers but then creating a new one for business users. This theme ties in very well with the idea Jacopo mentioned in creating a component that would be the Business demo.
