Figure 2 shows the development priorities, with renewal of all UI’s
SAPUI5 and Fiori, and provide API’s based on these
Plan to replace native mobile apps – will be retired and replace with SAPUI5 capabilities to make device neutral
Dashboard topics – have dashboards based on classical web templates in 7.1

If you see 7.1, had workcenters
Then had navigation of workcenters
Now more efficient with a Fiori Launchpad
Translate workcenters to Launchpad
A special shell/frame to unify applications
Not blindly transfer application to UI5 – try to unify applications
WebDynpro will contain configuration
Display like functionality will be in SAPUI5
Plan to offer hybrid support, with footprint in cloud increasing with customers
On-premise innovations are supported, including S/4 HANA

OCC is Operations Control Center
Provide functionality at the same position in the screen to ensure a unified user experience
On the left, is a toolbar – create incidents, notifications, alert inbox, guided procedure
On the top, tabs
Breadcrumbs help navigation

Figure 5 shows personalizable views
You can define your own tabs/views
You are given a library of views and you can arrange however you like
You can hide standard tabs
Figure 6: Source: SAP
No separation between alerting, monitoring and reporting
In 7.1 did not have a unified UI
In 7.1 monitoring used flash, reporting in Web templates
Now using SAPUI5 and can embed
Analytics are still in BW

All the applications will be migrated
Dashboard Strategy
Figure 8: Source: SAP
Access to data and customers are building their own dashboards
SAP tries to come up with answers that you do custom development
Embed analytics in the applications itself
Before it was separated using web templates
SAP provides predefined views that you can configure yourself
Cross application dashboard – see alerts with tickets – for this they built dashboard builder – KPI’s from different areas to build a dashboard
SAP Design Studio dashboards can be built as well
Can download KPI catalog information from the cloud portal
For Max Attention customers there is a dashboard factory
Data is available by BEx queries or OData Services
Can use standard BI tools to build dashboards
