Here's three blog posts about publicly-available Oracle UX design patterns that explain why customers and partners are taking to these free usability resources to build modern enterprise apps' UIs just like Oracle does.
Not only can application developers be productive by using these reusable common solutions to usability head scratchers with their Oracle toolkit (Oracle ADF, MDS, SOA, and so on), but that same toolkit enables smart architectural decisions and business decisions to be made about data assets too. That means there is continued ROI for your Oracle apps investment as you develop and customize solutions and as your users demand more and different ways of working. You can improve existing apps usability, extend new Fusion implementations UX, and developing stunning mobile UIs, as UX securely pivots through the cloud using services and APIs, and each UI reflects the context of different users' roles, tasks, and how they work.
The first blog (actually in two parts) is via ORCLVille from Fusion User Experience Advocate (FXA) Floyd Teter (@fteter) of EiS Technologies. Featuring Oracle ADF Essentials, ADF functional patterns and Oracle Applications UX Direct, Floyd starts with a taster of how these resources can bring a great UI to life.
Floyd then reveals some more to whet our appetite for what he will fully reveal at Collaborate 13.
The second is a more technical one from myself on the Usable Apps blog about partner Innowave Technology's approach of using UI abstraction, services, and Fusion desktop UX design patterns to cut time and cost for an EBS solution while delivering a compelling UX that can be easily extended in future. Some great quotes from FXA Basheer Khan, CEO, there if any C-level execs need convincing about the UX design pattern proposition!
The third is from Vennster managing partner, Lonneke Dikmans (@lonnekedikmans), also an FXA and co-author of a great book on making SOA simple too. Lonneke writes about going mobile in business, using UX design patterns, the role of services, and the underlying design need of understanding the nature of how mobile users work with apps. I presented with Lonneke at OBUG Connect 2013 on the subject where she also demoed the mobile design patterns themselves.
So, check out these great blogs about some great solutions and insights from Oracle partners.
