The SAP Fiori user interface is gaining in importance in current SAP S/4HANA projects. SAP applications become experiences, usability is enhanced, and the use of apps enables device-independent access – anytime and anywhere. Spaces and pages, the new way of visualizing apps in SAP Fiori Launchpad, deliver several key benefits. But how can you activate spaces and pages and what effects does this new approach have on authorization roles?

Comprehensive SAP S/4HANA security strategy reduces additional downstream costs
Schott AG is considering its SAP S/4HANA transformation from all aspects, from code and processes, down to authorizations for its SAP S/4HANA migration.

Takeda trusts in the SAST SUITE to reduce SoD conflicts in their heterogeneous SAP landscape
Takeda, Japan’s largest pharmaceuticals company, manages its business processes in a global, heterogeneous IT landscape. From SAP ERP to SAP Cloud applications, employees work at a variety of levels, depending on their involvement in processes, and therefore need access to a number of systems. As a result, the company has to constantly review conflicting authorizations to meet strict compliance requirements, such as segregation of duties (SoD). Most standard software solutions on the market only monitor SoD conflicts and risks in a single system, however, which led the company to search for an end-to-end solution.

Starting a migration project? Consider these things when converting SAP ERP authorizations to SAP S/4HANA
The upgrade from SAP ERP to SAP S/4HANA also involves a changeover to a new technology. This offers new possibilities thanks, to the increased speed of the SAP HANA in-memory database, as well as an improved user experience through the new FIORI UI. At the same time, however, the implementation of SAP S/4HANA also presents many enterprises with the difficult challenge of planning and executing their migration projects correctly: existing processes and role concepts have to be reconsidered.

Adapting authorization management in a central hub SAP S/4HANA system – save valuable time with the right strategy and the right administration tool
When setting up an SAP S/4HANA system landscape, you have the option of establishing a front-end system as the central, superordinate system that accesses different back-end systems. To do this, you have to consider and logically design many factors in advance. In addition to the technical prerequisites, the role and authorization concepts have to be revised. But how can you adapt authorization management in an SAP S/4HANA system with little effort?
SAP S/4HANA authorizations – it’s your choice: brownfield or greenfield
Before migrating old ERP authorizations to the new S/4HANA system, project owners must ask countless, but crucial questions. However, many companies leave security and compliance for last. This is a mistake: These aspects should be included in the migration strategy right from the get-go.
