Project Summary
SAP SuccessFactors and SAP New Ventures and Technologies were working on a joint project to leverage current social media trends to enterprise and HR platforms. I served as the founding UX designer for Worksplash (Project Balboa), a social media mobile application where coworkers can create and share short-form, hyper-personalized video experiences for one another.
Simualtenously, the SAP Business Technology Platform team was working on Video Data Stories, a service that generates video-based insights from business applications and databases. Eventually, our work from Worksplash was absorbed by Video Data Stories and is now successfully implemented into the SAP BTP platform and SAP analytics cloud.
