Experiences with customers / partners
Customers are totally convinced by the technology and the costs
Potential Partners sometimes are reserved (depends on already choosen
technology / frameworks)
SAP Developers on customer side are relieved (most of them)
SAP Basis Guys are relieved
All have to change their ‚thinking‘ from confusing scenarios
(devices, deployment, oData and so on) to ‚HTML5 rocks‘, MVC ’develop once – run
everywhere’ and so on

11. 11Ralf-Juergen Triebel
Summary and Perspectives
From my point of view it‘s an excellent alternative for small and
medium-size companies
The Neptune Application Designer is basing on the Next Generation
UI Technologies
It enables customers to get the Next Generation UI for SAP already today
