Abstract
Enterprise Resource Planning application has become the basic need for business in recent times. Most organizations have implemented ERP application despite the configuration and cost issues, but are not exploiting the true benefits of application. In this project the usability of SAP R/3 application (which is a leading ERP vendor in the market) was studied and how SAP Fiori implementation can overcome few of the drawbacks in application usability is explained. Implementation cost, Application Configuration, difficulty in use and poor training to employees are the major drawbacks of SAP R/3 application. SAP Fiori is a set of applications developed by SAP, which target the most frequently-used SAP transaction codes, workflow approvals and various other self-service reporting needs. SAP Fiori provides simple and friendly user experience across multiple devices like smartphones, tablets, and desktops. Project management in Implementation of customized SAP Fiori app for HCM module is discussed and the impact of new app on the organization is also analyzed as part of this project. Finally, feedback of the end user is collected to understand the usability of the new SAP Fiori HCM application.
