This convention was facilitated by SAP Israel, ALTERNO.IO – SAP UI5 & Fiori experts – and John Bryce an SAP training partner. Actually, it was quite a technical review. So, I found out SAP UI5 is really a set of tools, a complete development ecosystem which continues to evolve rapidly. This is the 3rd generation of SAP UI.
As a functional consultant – important tip is that we now have 2 new expertise involved with making the new SAP UI, namely UX and UI guys, on top of the content developer.
We are not only thinking about how a screen should look like but rather on complete user experience with mobile devices on top of PC’s, responsive screens, graphics, animation est.
These new capabilities enable users, with little and sometimes with no training, who typically own smartphones, to perform SAP tasks.
This is a huge resolution which enables cheap and immediate access to SAP to all companies stuff using their own smartphones!
This may and should be translated to a leap in productivity!
Thus, this a new ball game. And we better start playing….
Always informed about the latest macroeconomic trends, newest technologies, and SAP most innovative offerings!
The following posts describe attended conventions and various meetings about SAP innovative product lines. Such as Hana, PA, new SCM, Industry 4.0 and industry related conventions about AI, ML, DL, cloud, IOT, 3D manufacturing est.
You probably wondered, at one time or another, where the name SAP came from or what does it mean. Since this name doesn’t work so nice in English. I know how SAP feels as my surname is not such a great choice for the English speaking world either… If you asked someone from SAP he/she probably said something like Systems and Applications. As an SAP veteran, I have heard some less nice acronyms, but I’m not going to share them with you today…
Anyone who attended SAP events knows very well that SAP always serves high-quality and versatile food offering. And for me, after a few weeks of dieting everything was especially delicious! (though I am proposing to apply this method to other areas in life, say, sex!) Therefore, I would like to suggest a new acronym for SAP: Sweet and Plenty!
Anyway, enough with the chitchat…
On last Wednesday Feb-20-2019, I have attended a very nice Convention @ SAP Israel about EPPM – Enterprise Project Portfolio Management. Actually, I have participated in a very successful E2E Big-Bang SAP project at IAI (Israel Aerospace Industries) as a lead SCM PP consultant, and later on, as an MRO consultant.
This project was really like implementing 10 different businesses in the Aerospace and Defense arena, as IAI deals with so many lines of businesses. It was a complex and very interesting assignment from which I learned quite a bit!
Therefore, it was very nice to learn about all the new features. A completely new world of project management in SAP. I would suggest to anyone using PS to review this solution.
Highlights vs. PS:
User-friendly ( PS on its own, is terrible! Project Managers hate it)
Able to manage a portfolio of projects rather than one project.
Complete Project Cycle management
Collaboration
I couldn’t help thinking how easy it would have made our lives, 11 – 14 years ago, to have all these new features available. We had struggled with the PS module and develop lots of stuff to overcome shortcomings – which are now history.
We must have invested 75% of the total custom code, and 90% of discussions on this issue! Some guys from IAI attended too, and it was nice to reminisce about on the good old times…
Looking forward to the next event!

Today it is clear that these are connected to the Internet and many other business partners, and others such as suppliers that provide remote support est.
Therefore, we must consider and build appropriate defenses.
Since SAP is so widely used in Israel by defense related organizations, national infrastructure organizations and large private organizations – the Israeli National Cyber Center department is working with SAP Israel on this important issue.
