For companies using SAP GTS, the switch to e4H implies the need for a state-of-the-art authorization concept. When it comes to implementing Fiori in a GTS-context for the first time, system administrators see themselves confronted with new challenges. At the same time, the introduction of the new lay-out and the new navigation logic, bears huge potential in terms of usability improvements. A modular, tailor-made authorization concept is a key factor to a successful, sustainable, and value-adding transition to GTS e4H.<\/span><\/p>\n

For companies using SAP GTS, the planning of a changeover to GTS e4H is in full swing. The same applies to many of cbs\u00b4 long standing GTS customers: their system administration teams do now face the challenge of modernizing their landscapes in the most effective way.<\/p>\n

Making the added-value of the technological edge visible<\/h2>\n

With the introduction of e4H, and for the first time in a GTS-context, SAP introduces their newest user experience technology \u2013 SAP Fiori. The new user interface and its renewed navigation logic make innovations visible to the business.<\/p>\n

Good preparation, planning and implementation of the GTS authorization concept play an essential role in enabling this user interface elements to work efficiently. Keeping the concept\u00b4s maintenance as simple as possible, so it can last for many years, is also our every design\u00b4s priority.<\/p>\n

Before GTS e4HANA, the user\u00b4s activities inside the GTS system started at the so-called GTS area menu, inside the GUI interface. In GTS e4HANA Systems, the Fiori Launchpad becomes the user\u00b4s new starting point and the new work environment. As a result, companies shall expect their GTS users to \u201cre-learn\u201d a significant part of their past knowledge on how to operate the GTS tool. If the new user interfaces are not planned and designed thoroughly, this initial \u201cre-adjustment\u201d phase is sure to be much more problematic for end-users, who get sometimes demotivated, even overwhelmed. This situation is precisely what companies prevent and avoid by investing enough time in planning a good authorization AND user interface concept.<\/p>\n

Established Best Practices for the UX Age<\/h2>\n

Latest since the introduction of the Fiori technology, authorization administrators started playing a key role in terms of increasing the launchpad\u00b4s user-friendliness. Whenever customer have a well-structured, modular authorization concept that can be easily adapted and extended, designing and adjusting the new user interfaces gets considerably more transparent, faster and easier.<\/p>\n
