There seems to be a lot of confusion on what Fiori is, and what the benefits are. Since the recent Sapphire announcment that Fiori is free, we have gotten a lot of questions from our customers. This blog will attempt to clear up any confusion on Fiori, and provide a high level overview on benefits, negatives and why SAP customers should care.
Fiori is a collection of applications, pre-delivered by SAP, that cover the most common business scenarios across multiple modules of SAP. Some examples of these applications are:
HR: Time Approval, Leave Request
MM: PO Approval, Order from Requisition
CRM: My Accounts, My Contacts
You get the idea.
Fiori is commonly misconceived as a Mobile Solution. Yes, Fiori can run on Tablet and Mobile Devices, but the applications also run on Desktops.
1) Extend and Enhance the pre-delivered SAP applications to fit business needs
2) For scenarios not covered by pre-delivered applications we can create fully customized Fiori applications. These look and feel the exact same as the SAP delivered ones.
Wave 2 of Fiori applications is just scratching the surface of the potential. SAP has made heavy investments in SAPUI5 technology and integrating it with common SAP use cases. See the Amazon-like shopping cart for SRM and HR Renewal apps and the Fiori River RDE which connects UI5/Fiori to the Hana Cloud Portal.
The bottom line is that Fiori is well worth the time investment to get it installed and running in your landscape. The capabilities, and functionality will only continue to grow and users are demanding a way to complete business tasks on the go. SAP has finally caught up to the rest of the world in providing a next generation User Experience with no additional license cost, the verdict: Your users will thank you.
