Services and Support Think Tank: Using Fiori Custom Apps to Extend ECC Life and Improve User Experience

Think Tanks connect you with peers navigating the same challenges and opportunities as you. ASUG will facilitate an interactive peer-to-peer exchange where solutions are shared for topics specific to your role and interest.

  • Do you know that developing a custom Fiori app can breathe new life into your users’ experience by giving them a new, modern user interface (UI)? 

  • Has your organization embraced the use of SAP Fiori Apps, either off the shelf from SAP or custom developed? 

  • How does Fiori fit into your long-term UX road map? 

The format for Monday, Aug. 10 at 12 p.m. CT will include:  

  • Brief welcome and kickoff from ASUG 

  • Rapid case study led by ASUG member Jason Sprunk and Liz Simpson from Rockwell Automation 

  • The discussion will focus on: 

  • Rockwell Automation’s five-plus-year journey with using SAP Fiori to drive value and improve UX 

  • The organization’s current migration experiences to HTML5 

  • Hearing from attendees on their experiences with Fiori 

  • Sharing of recent wins or successes, along with resources utilized 

Gain visibility into the challenges and successes other SAP customers are experiencing, and acquire new ideas for real-world solutions.

    • HTML5 - Modern platform
      • Different look/feel of the screen

What do we do next? (S/4 HAHA? Could?....)

  • Having this kind of UI, it doesn't matter what direction the organization goes
  • This UI allows you to add as you need and your users' experience doesn't have to change overnight

How do we maximize the investment in ECC now but reduce the amount of network when moving to S/4?

  • Fiori platform allows to plug in capabilities no matter where they exist, even in cloud
  • Much is reusable in S/4 world
