SAP UI5

SAP UI5 is both a web technology and a set of graphic elements made available to developers as a Javascript framework.
With this framework, standard applications can be extended or new applications can be built, using SAP’s graphic guidelines and development best practices.

SAP UI5 framework is regularly updated with new elements.
The framework version depends on the package version deployed on your environment.

SAP UI5 framework can also be enriched with new elements in order to answer to users’ needs.

SAP Gateway

SAP Gateway ensures that Fiori apps can be integrated with SAP’s various back-end systems, with reliable levels of performance and security.

SAP Gateway makes the back-end or system data available using OData protocol.

SAP Gateway enables the reuse of existing ABAP components: BAPI (standard or customized), data elements, settings, and authentication.
