It just has to look complicated

Friday, February 13. 2009

When comes to presentation of business application, ease-of-use is the last thing you should worry about.

Unlike consumer application, if business application appears to be very easy to use, it simply means lack of functionalities. I once wondered why big companies with lots of competent software engineers like IBM and Oracle could come up with server applications which are so complicated and hard to use. I thought they are not that smart after all, but it turns out that I'm the one who is dumb.

Of course it has a lot to do with the audience you present to when you are trying to sell your software. Those are businessman and IT managers, who do everything but use the software.
