The answer is simple: from past few years, people are using iPhones, tablets, doing more eShopping, using Twitter, Facebook and other social media applications to collaborate and share and this has raised consumer expectation of what interaction should be like and provided SAP to get a good opportunity to transform its 20 year-old UI design into a new look.

SAP New UX 5 Key Principles

  1. Keeping it simple – the application should be created for one user type with one use case and covered within three different navigations screens.
  2. Role-Based – so that the same application can be used by many individual users at a different level, at the same time.
  3. The application should provide Instant Value – which means the users can directly see the advantage, so they can go for the adoption.
  4. There should be coherency for all the application, no matter the function domain.
  5. The applicaiton should run in all devices, should be Responsive.

  2. Renew Applications – These applications are also out of the box and mainly for a wider audience, for example, the existing VA03 Sales Order transaction. The same funcionality but with a different skin.
