SAP Fiori is a new
user experience (UX) for SAP software and application. When first introduced in 2013 SAP licensed
Fiori separately, but customers quickly pointed out "why should I pay for
better interface?" and in 2014 SAP announced that Fiori apps now free of
charge to SAP customers. Today SAP Fiori
now the forward face of SAP S/4 applications.
