00:35 Fix Siebel UX, and you get a powerful CRM platform

In its latest CRM study, Nucleus Research praises Siebel CRM for its breadth of capabilities, yet points out that it lags in usability. 

01:50 Our 2019 innovation - Nexus Bridge - made it easy to use modern web frameworks and component libraries within Siebel UI.

Nexus Bridge is freely accessible on Github:https://github.com/ideaportriga/nexus-bridge

Yet, similarly to jQuery-based custom Open UI, building UI with modern frameworks requires significant effort. 

03:26 The latest innovation - Nexus Face - makes it possible to build modern Siebel UI in a drag-and-drop manner.

03:42 Nexus Face solves the Siebel Open UI dilemma.

• Standard UI: easy to build and maintain, yet poor usability
• Custom UI: great UX; however, expensive to develop and maintain

We offer 3rd alternative - Nexus Face generated UI: modern UI design in record time.

05:22 Compared to custom code UI, with Nexus Face

• it takes less time investment to build the UI;
• the current Siebel team can use the tool: advanced web skills are NOT required;
• it is simpler to maintain improved UI.

10:49 Nexus Face demo: Building blocks

• UI application consists of pages and page fragments, where we add components. Then we style these components and map them to Siebel fields. 
• local design system (extendable component library + styling according to customers' brand book)
• API - connection to Siebel is made via Nexus Bridge and leverages Open UI's Presentation Models content

• Phase three: the customer's existing team continues Siebel UX improvement on their own with some Idea Port Riga support

33:43 Benefits for Nexus Face's early adopters:

• a free pilot project;
• significant discounts on the product's subscription fee;
• free training.

34:57 Nexus Face subscription fee for 2020

18 EUR per Siebel end-user per year, which is
