offer enhanced and region-tailored solutions. The
presented prototypes can make a valuable
contribution to illustrate the potentials of new
interface and interaction paradigms.
The findings of future user studies combined
with the approaches presented so far have to
converge to an integrated concept to ensure the
adequate consideration of usability concerns in the
software development workflow. By offering a
concrete usability standard or guideline for ERP,
that goes beyond abstract engineering standards such
as (ISO, 2013), the sustainability of usability
concerns in the field of ERP can be improved.
