New Report from Leading Industry Analyst Firm on Lawson Smart Office Available on Lawson.com
Personalized user interface introduced in March puts people at the center of their "information workplace"
ST. PAUL, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 13, 2008--Lawson Software (Nasdaq: LWSN) has made a new Gartner report on the Lawson Smart Office user productivity platform available on a complimentary basis at www.lawson.com. The report, "Dataquest Insight: Lawson Raises the Bar With Differentiating ERP User Interface," was published August 8 by analyst Robert P. Anderson.
Announced during the Lawson Conference and User Exchange in March, Lawson Smart Office enables users to directly access Lawson enterprise and business intelligence applications, as well as Microsoft productivity, mobility and collaboration applications, and update data pervasively across all of them. The objective is to combine information with business intelligence in a way that reflects how people actually interact with business software in their jobs.
"In the past, the user experience associated with business applications has been sub-optimal at best, lacking common UX best practices often creating an intimidating and steep learning curve for users," Anderson writes in the report. "Fortunately, enterprise business applications have become increasingly more interesting from a user experience perspective over the last 24 months as many ERP solution providers have created enhanced user interfaces, often closely linked to the Microsoft Office and Outlook environment in order to provide better accessibility to a broader base of users."
The report is available for download at www.lawson.com/smartofficereport. More information about Lawson Smart Office, including downloadable screenshots and a product demonstration, is available within the Lawson online pressroom.
