IBM Sterling - A Business Toy for Gamers??

The user interface of the system is very "click" intensive. By that I mean that a user must either [mouse click] or [keyboard stroke] an inordinate amount, in order to accomplish a routine task. I contend that the user interface must have been developed by a "gamer" and not a business software development-type individual. This is very inefficient.

While the system is very capable of creating ad hoc reports (downloading data and importing into Excel), it is weak in the other direction. I would like to be able to manipulate / annotate my downloaded data and upload it back to the system in a batch process fashion. This would increase efficiency and reduce some of the aforementioned gamer-like clicking. Perhaps the system is capable of this and our organization is just not taking advantage of such features.

Recently, I spent a significant amount of time inputting data, in order to "trick" the system into providing the desired result. For example, the quantity of a specific product / SKU will display a result of [ 0 ], while most of the time no entry will be displayed if in fact the actual quantity is zero. The "trick" is this; Step 1 - Increase the value by [ 1 ], then [save]. Step 2 - Decrease the value by [ 1 ], then [save]. The system will now display the desired result. Wow!
