SAP S/4HANA simplifie data models, processes and also the user interface.

S/4HANA collapses the 26 document business suite tables previously required with the classic suite to only 1 data table for Materials Management
On the right side above, there was some discussion about Fiori; only a few people in the room have implemented/used it. It is to improve productivity with fewer clicks and training
Here's the YouTube covering the S/4HANA Receivables Management new user experience:
