What is SAP Fiori?
SAP Fiori is the new user experience (UX) for SAP applications, designed for both on-premises and cloud solutions like SAP SuccessFactors. SAP Fiori combines new user interfaces with advanced technological capabilities. It particularly opens up new use cases for SAP applications on mobile devices. It is cross-device compatible and responsive to the specific device, providing users with a similar experience to what they are accustomed to from consumer apps on smartphones.
Implementing SAP Fiori applications for your HR processes can be a crucial step in your HR department’s digital transformation journey.
The role-based authorization concept in SAP Fiori displays only the information that is relevant to the user and to which they are entitled. With a visually appealing and consistent design, users can intuitively navigate through all apps. This new and user-centric concept significantly enhances user acceptance and reduces the need for extensive training.
SAP Fiori is the successor to Web Dynpro ABAP and is SAP’s new user interface (UI) technology. It is developed using innovative technologies like SAP UI5 and HTML5. Fiori applications run online and directly in the web browser, connecting to the ERP system via SAP NetWeaver Gateway. To develop or customize Fiori apps, the cloud-based SAP Web IDE is available. SAP NetWeaver Gateway is one of the prerequisites for using SAP Fiori.
The possibilities with SAP Fiori offer many advantages, especially in the realm of mobile applications. However, it’s important to note that Fiori’s sleek design may come with some trade-offs in terms of functionality. Additionally, establishing the necessary IT infrastructure and IT security is essential before utilizing Fiori services.
