The Hidden Costs of UX Customizations
ABAP (programming inside SAP)• Expensive resources• Complications in upgrades• Full blown application development cycle required
3rd Party (programming outside of SAP – eg. RFCs, .Net. Java,
Netweaver, Fiori)
• Full blown application development cycle required• No reusable components between the different
development environments• Additional layers adds inefficiencies for high volume
transactions that require a lot of user interaction
Personas• Browser cache latency issues• Performance bottleneck by SAP ERP Server/ITS• Verbose HTML traffic• No ability to load balance• No role-base (eg. conditional IFs), business process
based approach
