[![SAP Fiori Types - Four Pillars .png](https://www.deteringconsulting.com/hs-fs/hubfs/SAP%20Fiori%20UX%20Approach/SAP%20Fiori%20Types%20-%20Four%20Pillars%20.png?width=767&name=SAP%20Fiori%20Types%20-%20Four%20Pillars%20.png "SAP Fiori Types - Four Pillars .png")](https://www.deteringconsulting.com/blog/daily-warranty-claim-processing-routines) # **Here are the top 11 features and benefits of [SAP Fiori](https://www.deteringconsulting.com/blog/top-11-things-you-did-not-know-you-can-do-with-sap-fiori)**   1. [SAP](https://www.deteringconsulting.com/sap-consulting-focus-areas)’s future only UI which provides a [**future-proof UI platform**](https://www.deteringconsulting.com/sap-fiori-user-experience-ux-design-approach) 2. **Browsers supporting UI5 run [SAP Fiori](https://www.deteringconsulting.com/sap-ecc-warranty-related-tables-related-resources-web-sites),-** Fiori works across all devices*) ![SAP UI5 Supported Browsers and OS across Platforms ](https://www.deteringconsulting.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202018-03-26%2016.16.20.png?width=501&name=Screenshot%202018-03-26%2016.16.20.png "SAP UI5 Supported Browsers and OS across Platforms ") 3. [SAP Fiori](https://www.deteringconsulting.com/blog/your-ultimate-guide-to-sap-s/4hana-service-contract-management) is **browser based** -> eliminates software installs. 4. **Incorporates UI5:** a vast library of modern dynamic controls while also retaining all of the power and flexibility SAP ABAP. 5. [SAP Fiori Consultants](https://www.deteringconsulting.com/blog/sap-warranty-processing-dealer-portal) have better **control over canvas** so that [SAP Fiori](https://www.deteringconsulting.com/blog/11-things-you-should-know-about-revolutionary-sap-vms-vehicle-management-system) developers can control flow and visualize anything they can imagine. 6. **Mix OLTP with OLAP** data allowing you to mix both transactional and [business intelligence](https://www.deteringconsulting.com/blog/how-to-master-the-claim-complaint-cause-correction-loop) types of data For example, many SAP customers use this to surface warranty KPIs in Fiori—combining claim transactions, ACS data, and analytics from [warranty and supplier cost recovery consulting](https://www.deteringconsulting.com/cost-recovery-consulting-for-sap-supplier-recovery) into role‑based tiles and dashboards. 7. **User experience matches what users expect** thus providing an [enterprise software](https://www.deteringconsulting.com/blog/how-to-design-your-product-hierarchy-in-sap) experience that has an [end-user experience](https://www.deteringconsulting.com/blog/how-to-define-and-manage-entitlements-in-sap-service-contracts-better) most likely to be adopted 8. **[SAP ECC](https://www.deteringconsulting.com/sap-ecc-tables-related-resources-web-sites) has a huge number of screens and transactions** --> SAP is rolling out [SAP Fiori transactions](https://www.deteringconsulting.com/blog/do-you-know-what-browsers-sap-fiori-supports) on a steady basis. [Standard transaction](https://www.deteringconsulting.com/sap-serial-number-management-presentation) replacement rate is impressive, so much so, that SAP UI can already be switched off starting with [S/4 Hana](https://www.deteringconsulting.com/blog/sap-warranty-analytics-benefits) 1809.  This makes IT consulting much more [productive](https://www.deteringconsulting.com/sap-acs-quick-scan-assessment-service) in that you are able to leverage the continuous improvement efforts of the entire SAP eco-system. 9. **Single point of entry** for business applications and [analytics](https://www.deteringconsulting.com/blog/sap-warranty-analytics) which delivers a simplified, ***personalizable*** access to common applications 10. **SAP Smart Business** which delivers real-time dynamic [KPI (Key Performance Indicators)](https://www.deteringconsulting.com/blog/what-is-warranty-analytics-why-do-you-need-it) updates 11. **[Large SAP Fiori Apps Library](https://fioriappslibrary.hana.ondemand.com/sap/fix/externalViewer/): **Many [common business processes](https://www.deteringconsulting.com/blog/how-we-solved-the-standalone-supplier-recover-process) have already been app-ified by SAP. Accessible online via this link: [https://fioriappslibrary.hana.ondemand.com/sap/fix/externalViewer/](https://fioriappslibrary.hana.ondemand.com/sap/fix/externalViewer/)     ### Here are the 3 things to watch out for: 1. SAP Fiori Applications **do not work “out of the box”** they require the correct technical and functional configuration on the frontend and backend systems. 2. SAP Fiori Gateway is using Restful API; if your transaction interaction on the application is complex, all data in backend cannot be cached (since every call is independent), hence **performance may be adversely affected.** Gateway can be configured to switch on a caching mechanism, possibly leading to instability. SAP Fiori Customers should [avoid accessing large data sets](https://www.deteringconsulting.com/blog/how-to-create-an-effective-warranty-fraud-detection-process) - however [HANA](https://www.deteringconsulting.com/blog/top-11-things-you-did-not-know-about-sap-rma-returns) or Elastic Search as a backend is usually ok. 3. **Going forward, two developer skill-sets will be required for Fiori application development**: - a UI Designer (specialized in UI5 design, typically less concerned with database and transactional 'backend'), and - a backend ABAP developer that knows HANA, business process, transactional flows, AND Fiori. In closing, there are a lot of** great benefits available** for SAP Customers who [implement](https://www.deteringconsulting.com/blog/how-to-calculate-an-sap-acs-warranty-project-payback) and use SAP Fiori. In the warranty space, well‑designed Fiori apps also make it much easier for operations and finance teams to [recover more from suppliers and reduce warranty leakage](https://www.deteringconsulting.com/cost-recovery-consulting-for-sap-supplier-recovery) by putting recovery‑focused KPIs and workflows directly in front of users.

I am the founder of Detering Consulting. I began the company in 2003 because I wanted to provide more value for SAP customers. I knew that many of them were missing out on all the great benefits that could be obtained from the software. Before establishing Detering Consulting, I completed my education by obtaining a Master’s in Computer Science. After that, I worked at SAP in Germany and SAP Labs in North America for 10 years. My extensive background in solution management, project planning and -management, implementation services and leadership includes experience in: Automotive, A&D, High Tech, Medical Equipment, and Manufacturing Industries. Me and my teams have successfully assisted many customers with their SAP ERP software, completed several full life cycle implementation projects, and carried out over 30 projects in SAP ECC and S/4 Hana. My experience has given me the unique ability to scope out ERP solutions in a very short amount of time. I have a knack for finding untapped money-making opportunities and discovering areas where customers could be saving money. I currently live and work in Palo Alto, CA just 10 minutes away from the SAP office. I dedicate myself to helping our clients with our SAP consulting services. In my spare time, I enjoy sailing, kickboxing, and spending time with my family and our two Taiwanese Mountain dogs.
