Customer Feedback
This is a boon to end-users of SAP GUI
screens who are not quite SAP literates.
Makes screens simple and enjoyable to work
with, besides increasing the throughput to
the Organization.

SAP Screen Personas allows us to customize

the functionality and the look and feel of
transactions to better meet our own
individual needs. The result is a more
streamlined, easier to use interface that
end-users are eager to adopt.

We Solicit Feedback Through

Several Channels

SAP Screen Personas Practitioner Forum

Monthly SAP Connect web conference
Focus on deployment strategies, best
practices
Round table format, peer-to-peer sharing
Invitation-only to Personas customers
Typical agenda:
Customer demo with interactive Q&A
Open discussion
SAP Tutorial
