It’s awesome when the developers behind an industry-changing software power tool bring a more user-friendly public version to market. We’ve seen this phenomenon already as software publishers have produced scaled-down versions of Photoshop-like software, or personal bookkeeping titles similar to Sage 50, but that don’t require a university-level course in how to use it.
Now, SAP–one of the top developers of enterprise applications software–has produced a personal edition in Lumira that lets anyone benefit from the data collecting capabilities of the program, but without having to be an industry expert to run it.
Lumira, which has been revamped for even novice users, lets you grab your data from multiple file sources, manipulate it, then share it with others on your team. The sources include files in Microsoft Excel, CSV files, and SAP Hana One, sources that many businesses already use to compile information about their companies and their workflow. There are four distinct functions within Lumira–Prepare, Visualize, Compose, and Share–and each of these functions lets you edit your processes so that the end result is a professional-looking, usable tool to share your necessary data among those who need it.
One of the more useful tools for the average Lumira user will be the ability to make different kinds of charts instantly from the data you collected. These charts–which include column, line, pie, geographic, scatter, bubble, heat, radar, and waterfall charts–provide an immediate visual for your audience without the legwork of doing the math and generating the graphic.
This multilingual platform–with supported versions in English, Chinese, German, French, Japanese, Spanish, Russian, and Portuguese–does require a good bit of disk space and memory. However, the 387MB download, 20GB of disk space, and 4GB of RAM to operate will all be worth it in terms of speed and agility for users who need a streamlined way to collect, manipulate, and share their important data.

Having a ‘dislike’option has been something Facebook users have regularly called for since the introduction of the ubiquitous ‘like’button back in 2009.
Zuckerberg seems to be aware of the Pandora’s Box effect introducing a dislike button might have on the world’s largest social network, and stated that it was not the intention of Facebook to introduce a system that trolls and others could use to vote down other people’s posts. Rather, Facebook want to introduce the button for times when clicking ‘like,’wasn’t an appropriate gesture.
How a ‘dislike button will achieve this is anyone’s guess. Signalling a dislike for something, traditionally hasn’t been humans preferred method of displaying empathy with another human. No one ever went to a funeral and said, “I dislike that your Grandmother passed away.” Now, while admittedly this is still a better option thank ‘liking’something, it’s not great is it?
“Not every moment is a good moment,” Zuckerberg said, in the most irony laden free statement ever mentioned, as he handled a Q&A session detailing the upcoming release.
For years, Zuckerberg and Facebook, have dismissed the calls for a ‘dislike’button, in an attempt to avoid user driven voting systems, such as are exhibited on other sites like Reddit. It was only last December Zuckerberg went on the record again to declare there would be no dislike button for Facebook, stating that “There’s something that’s just so simple about the ‘like’ button.”
So what’s changed. Why now?
Perhaps the people at Facebook are concerned about the negativeness that could come with a dislike button.
The dislike button could cause problems by turning people away. It’s much easier to be ‘not nice’to others from behind the protection of a screen, and that is the opposite effect that Facebook aims for. While it’s already possible to leave angry or disappointed comments on a Facebook post, it does requite effort on the part of the user.
But the problem according to Wired.com’analysis of the new button is that Facebook depends on every “like, share, and comment” to decide what a Facebook user does and doesn’t see. It highlights that adding a ‘dislike’ button is as much about changing how the back end process will have to change at a fundamental level in order to process the new ‘dislike’button.
Facebook: You’re the product.
There’s also the fact that ‘disliking’ something means that users will be telling Facebook that they no longer wish to see certain posts, effectively hiding that content and similar content in the future, potentially meaning less engagement from users, which in return means less ads that are seen, and crucially less money for Facebook. Yes, that’s right, it’s all about the money.
This is perhaps why Zuckerberg talks about the ‘dislike’ button in terms of empathy as opposed to actually disliking something.
The challenge is to implement the new button in such a way that Facebook can still effectively target its users with ads and product placement, but still keeps them clicking and engaged. As always, when it comes right down to it, teh ‘dislike’button isn’t about answering Facebook users wants, it’s about how Zuckerberg can use it to increase his profit margin.
