Since its launch, SAP Fiori has revolutionized the way users interact with SAP software, transforming complex enterprise applications into simple, intuitive, and personalized experiences. Over the years, SAP Fiori has evolved significantly, growing from its initial release, Fiori 1.0, to the comprehensive and adaptive Fiori 3.0. This article explores the key milestones and enhancements in the evolution of SAP Fiori, highlighting how it has shaped modern SAP user experiences.
SAP Fiori is SAP’s design language and user experience (UX) strategy, focused on delivering a consumer-grade, role-based, and responsive user interface across all SAP applications. It emphasizes simplicity, accessibility, and consistency, enabling users to perform tasks efficiently on any device.
Released around 2013, Fiori 1.0 marked SAP’s initial step towards redefining enterprise UX. It introduced a collection of simple, task-based apps designed for specific business roles, focusing on key user scenarios.
While revolutionary at the time, Fiori 1.0 was somewhat fragmented, with apps developed individually and limited consistency in the overall user experience.
Building on the foundation of Fiori 1.0, Fiori 2.0, introduced around 2016-2017, expanded the scope and refined the user experience significantly.
Fiori 2.0 significantly improved productivity by allowing users to personalize their launchpad and work more efficiently across multiple applications.
Introduced in 2019, Fiori 3.0 represents the latest and most advanced iteration of SAP’s UX strategy, focused on creating an intelligent, coherent, and consistent experience across the entire SAP landscape.
Fiori 3.0 transforms the user experience into a cohesive ecosystem that feels natural and intuitive regardless of the user’s role or device.

From the initial task-based apps of Fiori 1.0 to the intelligent, unified platform of Fiori 3.0, SAP continues to enhance the way users engage with their business processes.
As SAP landscapes grow increasingly complex, embracing the latest Fiori innovations ensures organizations remain agile, efficient, and user-centric in their digital transformation journeys.
