Couldn’t help but think how that conversation would unfold… "Create SAP patterns for a measly mockup tool sold on the web for 70$? Pcchhhhh!! We can create our own tool with our own patterns in a matter of weeks. And why just a UI mockup, lets enable describing navigation... and perhaps some information flow and logic. Ooo Ooo I have an idea, why just stick to mockups, lets make it generate actual applications out of them!! In any possible UI technology!!! All we have to do is add some LCM, deployment, packaging, runtime and other capabilities, move it to a robust development environment, make it compliant to our 16(,000) standards and we're all set! I can visualize hundreds people without any development experience composing applications in a matter of minutes… now we just need to come up with a catchy name...."

Two guys at SAP wrote a book about prototyping. They recommend Excel for the purpose. It's actually not bad, I tried it out. This "extra virgin" tool looks way cool though. Bookmarked.
