Review: The design of applications at SAP continues to be a technology disaster. All the support of all the design schools in the world won't change SAP software.

Review: Very exciting and about time. I have always been an advocate for talking and watching customers (ethnography), testing and refining. It's great to see the likes of SAP and IDEO working tog, and Stanford having a design school. I wished I could start all over again and go to d-school instead!

Review: I'm at Parsons right now studying design and management. I've come to learn how important interdisciplinary collaboration is. I think this Stanford design school will take off and have great results. Dope idea! Sounds like something I'd love to be a part of if I weren't studying here in NYC.

Review: Are any of the SAP competitors doing the same? Or is this the 1st of it's kind?

Review: I don't know how I feel about this. My concern is that by being "owned" by a software company the D-school might have less of a foundation in the design aspects and more in the technical. The actual intended foundation was supposed to be a multidisciplinary school that focused on design. Design, not just in the field of engineering and technology, but in all fields and for all interests. I'm worried that it may go in a direction different from its originally intended one. I am considering the D-school, along with ID and a few others, but I'll just have to wait and see how it ends up, luckily I have a couple of years before I'm seriously ready.

Review: Shai Agassi is an interdisciplinary designer. Mr. Plattner is right. Medicine is relevant to the design of business software because weaving, orchestration, and compositions are only the primitive beginings of the "Molecular networks of Business Applications." SalesForce shows the direction toward real time Autonomic WikiApplications."

Review: Hasso Plattner is taking a big leap in the right direction. Perhaps, in the spirit of "less is more," we will in the future have software which is easy to use and builds value for its users.
