User Experience
To enable the most of your enterprise portfolio, getting the optimal solutions in place for users to engage and efficiently utilize the software is paramount. User Experience at Makitran begins with understand the needs of users, and building customized solutions through the use of SAP Screen Personas or Fiori UI5 applications all built for ECC or S/4 environments.
Makitran leverages the Design Thinking methodology to evaluate and implement User Experience related activities, ensuring that the results are successful and meet both IT requirements and user expectations.
SAP User Experience Platforms
SAP’s next generation User Experience platforms support entirely new ways of doing business and improving the old.
SAP Fiori defines a new standard for look and feel of the enterprise system built on top of the UI5 technology platform. SAP delivers more than 1,000 standard applications in Fiori, most available with S/4 HANA, that simplify and improve business processes for most users. Customizing existing Fiori applications is possible in some cases by business users or others may require more technical enhancements. In addition, SAP Fiori Elements provides a simple framework of pre-defined layouts and controls to build custom applications that can rapidly scale your business needs and ideas into functioning solutions.
For more complex scenarios often required by power users, fully customizable UI5 applications can be built to meet the needs of each business as appropriate. Like SAP Fiori, SAP delivers some standard UI5 applications with S/4 HANA.
SAP Screen Personas can be utilized by business or technical users to alter existing SAP GUI screens by merging tabs, removing/adding fields or adding additional logic via javascript to enable extra features. With the Slipstream rendering engine for SAP Screen Personas, virtually any GUI transaction can be launched via Fiori Launchpad and converted to a mobile friendly format.
To get the most out of your current enterprise environment or transition to S/4 HANA, spending time up front to determine which features and business improvements make sense to implement first is paramount. The transition to UI5 and Fiori applications won’t happen in one big chunk, but by selecting the right functionality and the right solutions, delivering big usability gains is certain.
