Next Generation of UI

A key theme of SAP S/4HANA is simplification, and this certainly applies to the
user experience (UX). We use the term user experience, rather than user
interface (UI), because we need to consider the overall experience of the user,
rather than just the look of the screen. For example, if you go to a restaurant
that has good food presentation but the service is poor, you would say that the
overall experience was not good, and you would not be keen to repeat it.

It is important to provide not only a great-looking UI, but also features that help
the user become more productive, resulting in a good overall experience. This is
what SAP Fiori delivers.

SAP Fiori is a completely new UX, rather than an upgrade to any existing
interface, such as SAP GUI, SAP Portal, or SAP Business Client. It works on any
device that allows users to have the same experience, regardless of the device
they choose to use. They can set up a basic sales order in the office using their
desktop, then visit the customer to complete the configuration and agree
pricing using a tablet. SAP Fiori provides the same look, feel, and productivity
features on all devices.
SAP Fiori applications are designed using a methodology called design
thinking, which is a user-centric and solution-based approach to software and
user interface design.
