SAP Fiori
SAP Fiori is a set of apps, newly written by SAP, that address the most broadly and frequently used SAP functions, such as workflow approvals, information lookups, and self-service tasks. They provide simple and easy-to-use access across desktops, tablets, and smartphones.
Fiori is more than just a new user interface. It is a set of cross-device applications that, among other things, allow users to start a process on their desktop and continue it on a tablet or smartphone. SAP is developing its Fiori apps on its latest user interface frame work
SAP Fiori Apps
Transactional Apps
It allow users to perform SAP transactions on mobile devices as well as desktops. For instance, there is a transactional app for creating a leave of absence request and another for approving a purchase order.
Analytical Apps
It allow users to display key performance measures and other aggregate information about the business.
Fact Sheets
It display information about key business objects in SAP. For example, there is a fact-sheet app for viewing a central purchase contract; it allows users to also drill down into related entities, such as vendor contacts, items under contract, and terms.
A complete list of current Fiori apps is available on SAP’s website. So far, SAP has released waves of Fiori apps, with additional waves under way. ITWare in tandem with its Indian SAP partners provide value add services to existing SAP customers for implementation and offshore support of SAP Fiori APPS with certified consultants and a fast track implementation approach
SAP Hana and BI
SAP HANA is a memory, column, system developed and marketed by SAP SE. Its primary function as database server is to store and retrieve data as requested by the applications. In addition, it performs advanced analytics (predictive analytics, spatial data processing, text analytics, text search, streaming analytics, graph data processing) and includes ETLcapabilities and an application server.
HANA manages concurrency through the use of multiversion concurrency control (MVCC), which gives every transaction a snapshot of the database at a point in time. When an MVCC database needs to update an item of data, it will not overwrite the old data with new data, but will instead mark the old data as obsolete and add the newer version
Key Benefits of SAP HANA
Accelerates transactional and analytical processing against a single copy of data in-memory to deliver real-time insights against fresh data, while dramatically reducing data footprint and hardware and operation costs.
Provides application services to support more agile development of modern applications. It also simplifies the application architecture and improves performance because data must no longer be transferred between an application server and database.
Perform text, predictive, spatial, graph, streaming, and series processing against large volumes of data in-memory to deliver unprecedented insight using a single platform
Embeds data integration capabilities to support rapid access and analysis of data from any data source for broader insight.
Delivers enterprise-grade high availability, disaster recovery, scalability, and security capabilities to ensure continuous operations without disruptions.
