SAP Spaces & Pages: Innovation or Regression?

27.06.2024

SAP Fiori Spaces & Pages

SAP has introduced Spaces & Pages to provide a better user experience and to improve the usability of SAP systems. Companies can customize Launchpad spaces and pages to their specific business processes. The apps displayed in the Launchpad spaces correspond to the authorizations associated with the roles assigned to each user.

At a time when usability is continuously being optimized and Customizing options for users are being restricted, SAP's Spaces & Pages approach offers new freedom for the SAP Fiori layout. The possibilities are huge, but how do you maintain an overview of the new Spaces & Pages? What has changed with Spaces & Pages and how does it provide a better user experience? And why is it an innovative opportunity for authorization concepts, the user interface and company processes?

How Does Spaces & Pages Provide a Better User Experience?

With the rollout of Spaces & Pages, SAP aims to provide a better user experience and improve the usability of SAP systems. The old GUI had often grown historically and was therefore confusing with a large number of applications, long load times and poor performance. Spaces & Pages is therefore a project aimed at improving the customization options and layout in the SAP Fiori Launchpad and increasing user-friendliness across all spaces.

What Are the Benefits of Spaces & Pages for Authorization Concepts?

Governance and authorization concepts are both a lived company culture as well as a permanent construction site where resources are continuously tied up. Spaces & Pages visibly extends the company's in-house role concept. Companies can manage authorizations better and create guidelines. Each tile displayed in a space and page corresponds to the assigned roles thereby making it easier to manage different sections and ensuring greater transparency. All apps displayed in the Launchpad spaces correspond to the authorizations associated with the roles assigned to each user. Authorizations and access to apps can therefore be adapted to each individual user or on a cross-departmental basis.

How Does Spaces & Pages Adapt to Business Processes?

Companies can customize Launchpad spaces and pages to their specific business processes. New tiles can be easily assigned or removed, depending on the user's requirements, which means greater flexibility and increased agility. When creating Spaces & Pages, not only can you define which tiles are selected, but you can also choose their layout so that successive steps are more comprehensible and process-oriented for the user. Overall, Spaces & Pages offers a promising opportunity to improve the SAP user interface and increase work efficiency.

How Does Spaces & Pages Promote Creativity and Customizability?

Spaces & Pages is also an ideal extension for individual use. Users can design their own personal space and maintain SAP apps in the sequence relevant to the employee. This, in turn, promotes user-friendliness and acceptance across departments.

Why Should Companies Immediately Switch to Spaces & Pages?

Spaces & Pages offers every company the opportunity to make their company processes available to employees in a transparent manner. Companies should use this innovation to optimize their business processes and increase user satisfaction.

Since this changeover is mandatory from an SAP perspective, companies should act quickly. We will be happy to support you in implementing this new SAP Fiori Launchpad display so that you can enjoy the above benefits as quickly as possible.
