Fiori: Brings business technology and users together
End user research before design apps
"D-Gates" are designs fulfilling requirements
One user experience
Figure 5 Source: SAP
Keep design principles stable
Role based - apps help you get work done
Adaptiveness - responsiveness, based on device using; can also add additional coding to improve user experience
Simplicity - core; no one likes overloaded UI's
Coherent - if using multiple apps, expect them to look similar and across products - S/4HANA SuccessFactors, Concur
Delightful - users are used to great user experience on user side, expect it in business software
Technology - SAPUI5 is the reference technology
- Apple partnership - Fiori for iOS and Fiori for Android
Other technologies come with Fiori 3 - follow design guidelines so apps look more like one technology
