Challenge Summary
Blue Harmony is IBM's major transformation program which is meant to simplify the design and operation of three Globally Integrated Support Processes - Finance, Opportunity to Order, and Order to Cash. A key component of this initiative is the Blue Harmony corporate ESB, which is the primary integration between the SAP systems and IBMs existing portfolio applications. Over time, there will be over two thousand applications integrated with Blue Harmony.
One component of the corporate ESB is the Administration Reporting Management System (ARMS) tool. This is a GUI application that is used for event logging, message reprocessing, error correction and reporting. The primary users of the ARMS tool span all different responsibilities: system administrators, testers, business process leads and developers.
This wireframe contest will develop the overall flow of data through the application, using the provided specification documentation to determine the necessary GUI functionality.
Please read the contest specification carefully and watch the forums for any questions or feedback concerning this contest. It is important that you monitor any updates provided by the client or Studio Admins in the forums. Please post any questions you might have for the client in the forums. Regarding the Rounds: * To be eligible for Round 1 prizes and design feedback, you must submit before the Milestone deadline. * The contest holder will announce Round 1 winners and provide design feedback to those winners in the forum after the milestone deadline. * You must submit to Round 1 to be eligible to compete in Round 2. If your submission fails screening for a small mistake in Round 1, you may still submit to Round 2. Target Audience The audience for this UI is extremely web literate, and appreciates compact, streamlined screens with as little clicks as possible to get the desired data and reports. Judging Criteria We are looking for streamlined screens, no heavy graphics, no gimmicks. When looking at tabular data, any *simple* usability features are appreciated (think alternating color backgrounds on tabular data), click on an table heading to sort, and so on. We will be applying our own corporate standards to the GUI anyway, so please don?t spend time on colors, stylesheets, or fonts. They will all be changed up later anyway.
