Top 170 Apps Created from the SAP Fiori UX Design and Build Challenge – Now on SCN

FioriWinners.pngIn case you missed the news, openSAP recently concluded its Build Your Own SAP Fiori App in the Cloud course, which included the SAP Fiori UX Design and Build Challenge. Essentially, learners experienced the end-to-end process of designing and building their own SAP Fiori app after first learning app development fundamentals.

 

They each submitted a story, persona, user experience journey, mock-up, and an app prototype (using SAP Web IDE), all documented in a PDF and/or YouTube video with the end result being an actual app prototype running live on the HANA Cloud Platform!

 

The top three were determined by peer assessment and SAP expert judgment and each won an Apple MacBook Air. Due to the high standard of so many of the submissions, openSAP decided to showcase 170 of the more than 1,500 Fiori apps created and shared. And while it is easy to get to the gallery page on openSAP, it does require you to create a free openSAP account and enroll in the course before you can see the results.

 

So we thought, why not share the results even more publicly right here on SCN? Without further ado, see below for the top 170 apps. Congratulations to all!

Dear friends of the SAP ERP Foundation RDS,

 

after I told you about the successful implementation of SAP ERP Foundation RDS with Simple Finance on the HANA Enterprise Cloud at European Schools back in April, I wanted to share additional news on this customer project with you.

 

A SAP Newsbyte was published yesterday citing Kari Kivinen, the Secretary-General (Office of the Secretary-General) of European Schools on the success of this project.

 

The newsbyte was as well published externally, e.g. at PR Newswire.

 

But European Schools with its SAP ERP implementation based on our RDS not just made it to Finance2015 event. In September this year, the project is as well prominently put as a case study at the upcoming SAP Forum BeNeLux.

 

Feel free to spread this exiting news in your communities!

 

Kind Regards,

Jan

SAP Activate: What's the story behind the SAP Best Practices optimized for S/4HANA?

$
0
0

SAPActivate.jpegIt's now been a couple months since Sapphire 2015, and the announcement of SAP Activate. As a quick refresher, SAP Activate is a unique combination of SAP Best Practices, methodology, and guided configuration to simplify your consumption of SAP Business Suite 4 SAP HANA (SAP S/4HANA). And just last week, we got a glimpse into the methodology story, so we thought now would be a good time to provide some more details about the SAP Best Practices optimized for S/4HANA.

 

But before we get to that, perhaps it's worth restating what SAP S/4HANA is in the first place: SAP's next-gen business suite. It is a new product built on the most advanced in-memory platform out there (SAP HANA) and includes SAP's new modern user experience (SAP Fiori). It is deployable in the cloud or on-premise and is built to drive a new level of value across most all lines of business and industries.

 

But how do you get to S/4HANA from wherever you are today? Easy. That's where SAP Activate comes into play. You can start with a new implementation or you can choose to integrate your current landscape with S/4HANA. Or, as yet another option, you can migrate your current system to SAP S/4HANA. The choice is yours and SAP Activate is there to empower you, whichever route makes the most sense for your situation.

 

So what exactly are the SAP Best Practices included as part of SAP Activate?

 

These are the ready-to-run business processes optimized for S/4HANA that also cover the integration and migration fundamentals. And the best part is that they are still based on the same comprehensive and flexible model that the SAP Best Practices team has cultivated from implementations in more than 50 countries with well over 10,000 customers.

 

These particular best practices (for SAP S/4HANA as part of SAP Activate) are business processes that include finance and logistics. They can be integrated with other cloud solutions, such as SucccessFactors Employee Central or Ariba Network. Or if you choose the migration scenario, these business processes will guide you through the optimal steps, whether it be a migration from a legacy SAP system or a migration from a non-SAP database. And last but not least, included as part of these SAP Best Practices is a reference solution running in the cloud and details on extensibility for how best to enhance SAP processes for your own needs.

 

In short, SAP Activate starts with SAP Best Practices for any implementation and uses one methodology for any deployment mode – cloud, hybrid, on premise, or mobile. Our goal, and the goal of SAP Activate, is help you take advantage of all the power and potential available via S/4HANA but tailored to your circumstances and business needs.

New Features Added: SAP Payroll Processing Control Center rapid-deployment solution

 

Solution Covered:SAP Payroll Processing Control Center

The SAP Payroll Processing control center add-on optimizes data monitoring and reconciliation. This helps organizations to increase the efficiency of payroll processing, reduces errors, and improves the accuracy of the payroll. This add- on provides a fundamentally new approach in which
potential issues are pointed out near real-time by the application rather than payroll administrators digging through information and trying to find issues themselves. With this functionality, Payroll Administrators only need to focus on issue solving and this saves payroll departments a lot of valuable time.

 

 

RDS to accelerate your implementation of SuccessFactors Payroll Control Center:

 

Customers can now accelerate the implementation of their SAP Payroll Processing Control Center by leveraging the SAP Payroll Processing control center rapid-deployment solutionrapid that we have specifically built for this purpose. This RDS for SAP Payroll Processing Control Center includes pre-configured validation rules that focus on      

(a) master data monitoring for the pre-payroll process and’                                                                                    
(b) reconciliation rules for post-payroll processing.

 

Best practice examples and documentation serve as a foundation for the implementation of the SAP Payroll control center add-on. This helps organizations to increase the efficiency of the process, reduces errors, and improves the accuracy of the payroll

 

Enhancements in the latest RDS version:

The pre-configured validation rules now allow for a payroll test run at any time in the month. The payroll administrators need not to wait for end of the payroll period to start his payroll checks but can check anytime for errors and correct the same. Since all errors are already now checked way before the payroll due date arrives, the payroll process also runs much faster than ever
before.

Here is a quick look into what we offer as scope of this RDS

Goal execution tools enable companies to step in with coaching assistance or resources when it appears that goal targets may be missed or, even better, to acknowledge successes.

Involves an ongoing dialogue between the employee and manager. It includes establishing clear performance expectations to support business objectives and providing regular feedback and coaching. The Performance Management process follows these steps to evaluate an employee’s performance and identify future performance expectations.

 

  • 360 Degree Feedback

Helps organizations collect feedback on employees’ performance and behavior from everyone, both inside and outside of an organization. Quantitative and qualitative data from 360 Developmental Surveys & Multi-Rater Assessments can be collected and graphically displayed by various categories. In a 360 Degree Review cycle employees choose the raters to give feedback, managers (and HR) approve the raters and then the raters perform evaluation on employee’s performance.

 

 

  • Employee Profile

Drives workforce performance by connecting employees, enabling wide-spread knowledge sharing and collaboration, and providing ready access to the most comprehensive employee information needed to make more informed talent decisions.  The Employee Profile can be maintained by the employee him- or herself, or by the employee's manager. The data contained in the employee’s profile can be used in further align and performance processes.

You want to start your project/your blueprint phase with a fully configured system?

 

To respond to the fast moving demands being made by today’s consumers, some customers/partners want to understand what the SAP Customer Activity Repository (CAR) could mean for their business and thus want to set up a proof of concept as soon as possible. Other customers/partners have already identified special use cases for CAR and want to accelerate their business blueprint phase.

 

With the pre-assembled rapid-deployment solution (RDS) for CAR you can get your own system very fast for a longer period of time including sample data. You have full access to the system in order to adapt the configuration as needed.

 

The 'fully-activated' appliance provides a system including pre-built analytics based on SAP Smart Business and SAP Lumira that can be used to understand the solution and the scope of the SAP HANA Customer Activity Repository rapid-deployment solution. In the fully-activated system all required software components are installed and the required SAP Notes are applied. In addition the following business processes are configured and also test data are applied:

 

  • POS Data Transfer & Audit
  • SAP Smart Business for Multichannel Sales Analytics
  • SAP Lumira for Inventory Visibility and Sales Reports
  • Demand Data Foundation

 

Let's take a look into what it takes to set up your own instance in the cloud:

 

Pre-requisites

 

  • SAP S-User
  • Cloud provider account: solutions can be deployed on a third party cloud provider of your choice. SAP Customer Activity Repository in particular is available on Amazon Web Services (AWS).
  • Subscription to SAP Cloud Appliance Library (SAP CAL): Customers/partners need to subscribe to SAP CAL by purchasing the subscription via SAP Store. There are various offerings depending on the number of instances that can be created simultaneously.
  • SAP Product Licenses for all components of the solution are required to use the solution after expiration of the pre-installed temporary license. If you have appropriate licenses already you can simply process and get the solution via SAP CAL. Contact your Account Executive in case you need an evaluation license for one or more of the products comprised in this offering.

 

Step-by-Step Guide to get your virtual appliance

 

Step 1: Purchase the SAP Cloud Appliance Library subscription in the SAP Store and register for the SAP Cloud Appliance Library.

Cloudy news from SAP Customer Activity Repository

Today I would like to share with you some updated information about SAP Customer Activity Repository and the possibility to use this solution in the cloud for several  use cases.

 

What is SAP Customer Activity Repository all about?

The retail world is changing by the minute. The days of brands pushing products to consumers are long gone. The power has shifted to the consumer. Consumers are well informed, digitally and socially connected, less loyal, and demand fast answers, regardless of the channel they shop.

Many retailers still struggle with outdated legacy systems, with information scattered across systems in different pockets of the organization. This creates a fragmented view of the customer and their shopping journey.  To lift loyalty and increase buys across their channels, these retailers must adapt quickly and create a single, omnichannel view of the customer journey.  Retailers need to be able to know what is happening right now, as well as predict what may happen in the near future, so that the right product is at the right place at the right time, and at the right price.

SAP Customer Activity Repository (CAR) collects transaction data that was previously spread over multiple independent applications in diverse formats.  Retailers no longer need to pre-aggregate data and send out information to data warehouses. With SAP HANA as the foundation, all of the data resides at the lowest, granular level.  With “out of the box” virtual data models, the retailer’s analysts can then start easily building, in minutes, the reports that used to take weeks to build. Insight is available more quickly and flexibly, from one common data repository. Other retail applications including SAP Promotions Management, SAP Assortment Planning for Retail, and SAP hybris Marketing segmentation can all leverage the data that aggregates within CAR to analyze current data and predict future results, always staying one step ahead.


With version 2.0, CAR is on every retailer’s radar and you can learn here how CAR specific cloud offerings can help you to understand, to leverage and to build on this solution.


First step: You want to test drive SAP Customer Activity Repository?

The new SAP Customer Activity Repository trial is now available and you can register for a free, 30-days test drive here.

An updated, SAP Fiori based landing page welcomes you and guides you through the applications, documents and training videos. You can go in depth with tools that allow for analytics such as affinity and basket analysis with SAP Sales Insight for Retail. A sample consumer mobile app shows you how consumers can access CAR data for things like product details, purchase history, and loyalty points. If you know already the older version of the trial, you will also enjoy additional SAP Fiori Multichannel KPI analysis, great insights into promotions, intraday and weekday patterns, net sales and more with SAP Lumira. And last but not least the SAP hybris Marketing customer segmentation leveraging CAR’s multichannel purchase history.

Check out the intro video to learn more about the SAP Customer Activity Repository trial.

Second step: You want to start your project/your blueprint phase with a fully configured system?

While delivering an updated version of SAP HANA Customer Activity Repository rapid-deployment solution (CAR RDS), we also provide a corresponding pre-assembled version of the RDS in the SAP Cloud Appliance Library (CAL) and in SAP Store.

Why is this an important offering? To respond to the fast moving demands being made by today’s consumers, some customers/partners want to understand what CAR could mean for their business and thus want to set up a proof of concept as soon as possible. Other customers/partners have already special use cases identified and want to  accelerate the business blueprint phase.

With this pre-assembled RDS you can get your own system very fast for a longer period of time with sample data. You  have full access to the system in order to adapt the configuration as needed. This  pre-configured CAR 2.0 system includes:

the SAP Smart Business for Multichannel Sales Analytics and the SAP Lumira for Inventory Visibility and Sales Reports with sample data.

You can quickly create your own software appliance via self-service directly from the SAP CAL into their own Amazon Cloud account. If you want to know how to do that in more detail, please check the information here.

 

Another option is to order a Blu-ray of the pre-assembled version of the CAR RDS and install it in your system landscape on premise. The material number is 51049811, please also see SAP Note 2041140 for further details on the ordering and implementation process.
