ETZ’s approach
We had a request from a client to implement Fiori Launchpad as part of their S/4 migration, who was already using integration services on BTP. With SAP Build Work Zone included in the BTP licenses, our team of experts configured SAP Cloud Identity Services along with SAP Build for a seamless point of entry from their existing 3rd party identity provider. This allowed users effortless access to the launchpad.
The focus of Fiori in its conception is to modernize the User Experience. For that reason, our authorization specialists developed custom roles for each business function and managed access in BTP. With this, we made sure that the User Experience is consistent throughout, making user adoption a key factor in the success of their migration.
