Debunking SAP BTP Myths (Webinar)

We investigate the myths around SAP BTP (Business Technology Platform), more specifically the Fiori side of things.  Get hands-on with BTP WorkZone and other intelligence technologies that are standard with BTP.  Watch below or scroll down to read as we debunk SAP BTP myths.

Myth 1- SAP Fiori is a technology

It’s often said that SAP Fiori is a technology. No, it’s not. Fiori is a design principle or a set of guidelines that you would typically use when building a tailored SAP solution. The technology used is most commonly Ui5.

Myth 2- Fiori UX will replace most of, if not all GUI screens when I move to S/4 HANA.

This is the myth that people are the most disappointed about. From our experience as a company, on a reimplementation of S/4, yes, you’re going to get a lot of the Fiori user experience. But more often than not, when doing a technical migration, these same users face a lot of challenges around SAP Fiori. GUI is still there but all be it, in a different format, which may not be as recognisable on introduction.

Myth 3- Just because it’s Fiori doesn’t mean it’s right for the user

Bluestonex has been involved with a number of User Experience transformations, including a warehouse implementation. This involved going through the Fiori designs with stakeholders and more importantly, the users. When the Fiori designs were put in front of the users, they were flat-out rejected. This was due to the environment those users were working in and had become acclimatised to. Because of this, they could not adapt, and we were breaking all of their perceived rules. The point of this is, if it doesn’t work for the enterprise or the user, you don’t have to go with Fiori- it’s all about what works best!

Myth 4: Innovation requires the latest version of SAP ERP, like S/4 HANA.

In short, not. What you can see in the Webinar is Advancement Pack 7 plugin. Which isn’t the latest and greatest and is done intentionally to show you that you can do a lot with your existing suite.

See it for yourself, talk to the BTP experts.
