In this blog we will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the on-premise scenario versus the SAP Cloud scenario with regard to SAP Fiori.
Enterprise software needs to adapt easily to rapidly changing environments. You think that adapting the user interface of SAP Fiori apps (e.g. by adding, hiding or rearranging fields) is complex?
