Hello,
For UCES 6.35 is there any guide that can help development process? Specially how to make use of UCES features like responsive layouts, html5, OData...
Side question - does UCES supports left-to-right layout for languages such as arabe for example?
Thanks a lot!

Hello Joana,
there are several documents in the SAP service marketplace:
--->http://service.sap.com/utilities
--->SAP for Utilities - Product Information
--->SAP Utility Customer E-Services
As far as I know UCES and HTML5, OData ... doesn't work. SAP propose multichannel for this.
For the last question: UCES supports the RTL layout for such lanuages.
I hope this help to clarify the issue.
Kind regards

Hi Joana,
the frontend for SAP Biller Direct or it´s industry version for Utilities (UCES) is only an example implementation and supposed to he replaced my customer developments, especially in the customer facing scenarios.
The out-of-the box solution front-end is not responsive as already explained above. Personally I have already implemented endless projects in this context in the past decade and work on an enhanced version of Biller Direct / UCES, where the complete front-end & BO-layer was modernized and actually supports now responsive layouts out of the box (and more).
e.g. Biller Direct https://myaccount.howdens.com/myhowdens/startEBPP.sap
or UCES https://my.groupe-e.ch/myenergy/home.sap
You either need the same or you have to perform initially similar modifications, which is a bit time consuming and complex, if you are not femiliar with the application & processes.
As alternative you can also use the MFU, but this might be also more expensive and the technical concept is different which does have pro`s and con´s. The original idea of MFU is to focus on providing web-services rather then enforcing the frontend as most of the clients anyway decided to implement their own UI. Both UCES and MFU rely on the same backend interfaces. It is definetely worth looking into MFU to see, if it fits your needs.
