Case Study

Processing Gain and Loss through a SAPUI5 Application

©2015 Infosys Confidential

2

Challenges & Measures

Key Drivers Solution Benefits

• Simplify the calculation, charging and reporting of mid-project Gain / Loss contingent on team performance

• Un-integrated technology with landscape leading to lot of “back and forth” between front & back office staff

• Need for systems integration, process automation and consumer grade intuitive user experience cutting across applications

• Ease of use and user interface that “Wows”

• Mobile access

• Reduce / eliminate data duplication and data entry errors

• Simulation options for smart decision making

• Visibility across entire business process

Process simplification

Best practices for development

Leverage existing architecture

• Use open source UI layer (UI5) to create platform agnostic apps (mobile, handhelds, desktop) leveraging OData services

• Create linkages between SAP, Workflow, rules engine, 3rd party applications to facilitate automation & process simplification leading to reduction in manual effort

• Leverage existing architecture and code pieces to the extent possible (technically as well as functionally)

• Follow best practice guidelines (for ex- while deploying gateway servers or using OData services)

Roadmap Phase• Vision and Strategy• “To-be” business

capabilities• Build business case

Build Phase• Basis Installation (SAP

Gateway)• Write / modify services• Build integrations• SAP customizations• Convert master/ transaction

data if needed

Design Phase• Write User stories• Define Application architecture• Design “To be” wireframes

(using “agile” methodology)• Identify the nature of services-

• Use as-is• Use with modification• Build New

• Define Training and Support model• Hardware Sizing

Release: Testing and Deployment Phase• Unit & integration Test• Performance Test• User Acceptance

Testing • Training• Deployment


5

• Conduct interviews• Wireframe UX• Uncover explicit & Implicit

needs• Lock Scope for app

• Demo application with integrations

• Run scenarios• Test user experience through

different devices

• Prototype user interfaces & process flow

• Iterate process & UX

Design Phase

A focus on design thinking
