Stelo

What is Stelo?

Application generation

Stelo automatically generates a Fiori application based on the business logic defined in the SAP system. This dramatically reduces the amount of custom development required.

Fiori Structure

Stelo provides a framework for defining Fiori application processes to accelerate delivery of common requirements and ensure easier maintenance.

Application process management

Stelo enables the delivery of application processes in multiple steps and includes tools to track and manage each process.

Expedited delivery

Business is fast-paced and customers need apps to keep up with them.

With Stelo, applications can be up and running before a single line of code is written.

Applications are automatically generated, and out-of-the-box capabilities mean end-to-end business processes can be accomplished quickly.

Optimized for users

No need to compromise your business or users.

Stelo applications can be fully adapted to enterprise requirements, regardless of the level of complexity.

The user experience remains at the heart, ensuring that Stelo Apps can be incorporated into Fiori Launchpad, indistinguishable from other apps.

Reduced cost of ownership

Stelo is an economical option for the short and long term.

Custom requirements are considered expensive for creation and support.

Stelo provides a range of features throughout the application lifecycle to minimize the various cost contributors.

Stelo in detail

Stelo is an SAP Fiori application generator that accelerates the fiori custom application development process and enables the delivery of better Fiori applications through process integration and standardization.

As organizations move into the SAP Fiori paradigm for user interaction, there is a need to manage custom-made Fiori processes and applications, and simply deploy library applications or offer an equal replacement of an SAP transaction.

Stelo provides the framework for developing and managing custom SAP Fiori applications, enabling organizations to easily build and maintain a set of Fiori applications as well as related end-to-end business processes.

Fiori Accelerated Development

Organizations planning the broad adoption of the SAP Fiori user experience will require the development of several custom SAP Fiori applications. Using Stelo, the development process is significantly faster than using only standard tools.

Stelo automatically generates the Fiori application based on the SAP back-end configuration, ensuring that each data field within the application is linked to data services support.

In addition, all data communication is handled through a pre-delivered SAP Gateway service. This means that there is no need to develop a custom SAP Gateway service suite to support your Fiori applications: a great benefit to subsequent development and maintenance.

In addition, Stelo automatically supports a number of common functions so that they can be included in the application without any development.

Apps and processes

Stelo includes a process integration framework, which allows Fiori application processes to be easily modeled. This enables routing and notifications for multiple-step processes and centralized control for all SAP updates.

Business logic can be added for important data services, such as derivation and data validation, which are automatically called at run time.

Stelo adds tremendous value in scenarios where multiple applications are needed because it provides standard tools for building and maintaining applications and enables the reuse of back-end business logic in different custom applications.

Savings through standardization

Using Stelo provides the organization with standard approaches to building Fiori applications and managing Fiori processes. This means that ongoing maintenance is easier and the cost of ownership is lower.

Business logic for data services is easily maintained in the outputs of delivered users, enabling a common way to manage data services for any application. Additional services can be added to dynamically search and retrieve data based on user actions. This supports reporting scenarios where no data is entered into the application.

Some Fiori applications are part of a broader business process that can involve multiple user touchpoints. Each process started using a Stelo application is managed using an SAP document, which can be tracked using standard administration tools. Administrators can monitor each process using the Stelo Dashboard, be notified of any update issue, and reassign work in progress.

Fiori Tile Builder

With Stelo, you can easily and quickly build dynamic, customized Fiori tiles to transform Fiori LaunchPad. Add data, graphics, and KPI images to enhance the Fiori LaunchPad user experience and drive user behavior by adding simple analytics across all business processes.

Do more with Fiori

With Stelo, SAP Fiori applications are not linked to a single SAP update, so application design is not limited by SAP BAPI parameters. Instead, each application can trigger several different SAP functions and updates to provide a much more appropriate fit to the requirements of the business process.

This allows you to do more with SAP Fiori because you are able to model your business processes together with your Fiori applications. This means that SAP updates can be decoupled from the UI, and each Fiori application can be part of dynamic and auditable processes.

Any Fiori app

With Stelo you can build any Fiori application. This means that organizations that create their own application portfolio can choose to use Stelo for each type of application to use a standardized approach.

Also, with Stelo, there's no need to run specific versions of SAP Business Suite or ERP, and there's no need to be running on HANA: Because you have control of your own business logic, there are fewer prerequisites.

Applications can be simple or complex: as the development process is accelerated, you will have a business case to create any Fiori application. This means that there will be a better fit to business needs and greater value of the solution.

System Requirements

Stelo requires an SAP Netweaver 7.0 (or higher) application server, with ABAP and BASIS components installed.

Standard SAPUI5 libraries are required to run any SAP Fiori application on-premises
