While working as Siebel Business Analysts, you have mastered a lot of skills. You are adept at talking to business subject experts and formulating functional requirements. You know end-to-end business processes in your company inside out. You learned to work with Siebel developers and write comprehensive user stories for them. Wonder where you can develop next? What about the Scrum Product Owner certification? Ah, you’ve already got it.

While discussing why Siebel application is often lagging behind its competitors in usability, we came up with three points:

• Missing user-centricity in design
• Limited amount of UI Components
• Lack of UI Design Patterns for complex user flows

In this article, I would like to familiarize Siebel experts with the main terms, tools, and methods used in the User Experience (UX) domain. To make concepts more tangible, I will explain what UX tools we at Idea Port Riga use during the two-week-long mini-project as we discover Siebel UX improvement opportunities.

We are back with the second article on Siebel Open UI usability improvements. In the first article, we set the stage and drafted your first steps in the Siebel UX transformation journey (e.g. making friends with the "digital" team at your company). Now we will continue by sharing different kinds of topics regarding the Nexus Bridge.

For the second year in a row I am leaving San Francisco and Oracle OpenWorld very excited. Last year Oleg and I started to work on the idea, which eventually became the Nexus Bridge for Siebel Open UI. This year I have presented the process for running Siebel UX improvements projects at the Siebel Customers Advisory Board meeting in San Francisco. Nexus Bridge is a crucial technical enabler in Siebel UX projects run by both by Idea Port Riga and several other customers.
