Different businesses have different needs, meaning that deployment for each company would be different from the next. There are certain ones who would like to migrate to a totally different environment (greenfield implementation), while others would prefer to stick to what they know best and reuse existing components (brownfield). The adoption and customization of your business’ exclusive digital core depends on a host of factors, including resources, company goals, urgency, and budget.
SAP Fiori, now SAP Fiori 3.0, provides a great user experience for SAP S/4HANA.
The Fiori Launchpad acts as a single entry point for accessing for S/4HANA. It does not only work for accessing Fiori apps but also for classic UIs such as SAP GUI for HTML (Web GUI) and Web Dynpro for ABAP (WDA).SAP has applied Fiori theme to classic UIs so now the entire SAP S/4HANA has one look – the Fiori look!
Smart Business Cockpit
Smart Business Cockpit is like a control center that lets you control and channel your SAP S/4HANA usage into a transformative business experience. Smart Business Cockpit for SAP Business Suite is powered by SAP HANA and leverages SAP Fiori design principles for an interactive and intuitive user experience.
It relies on SAP Smart Business Framework, a framework that is specifically designed by SAP to expose key strategic and operational performance indicators (KPIs, OPIs) as Fiori applications – all these applications without any coding.
Business and Technical users can both use the Smart Business Cockpit to make highly aggregated analytical data accessible using Fiori Launchpad Tiles.

Personalization
Every user can personalize their Fiori Launchpad to fit their needs. For example, creating their own groups of tiles or rearranging their layout. This helps users work more efficiently as does another feature – User Default.
Users can easily define default values for important fields such as company code, cost centers and sales organization so that these are prefilled in the UI which saves a lot of time.

SAP Joule, the generative AI copilot, is not available for on-premise versions of SAP S/4HANA. Joule is integrated into the cloud versions of SAP S/4HANA (Cloud Public Edition and Cloud Private Edition).
SAP S/4HANA on-premise has a maintenance commitment that extends until the end of 2040. This means that while SAP will continue to provide support for S/4HANA on-premise, it will not introduce significant new functionalities for this version.
