SAP My Home vs SAP Work Zone Standard Edition

[smd1972]

Hi Work Zone experts,

I wonder if someone could help me. I'm trying to understand some of the key differences between SAP Work Zone Standard Edition and SAP My Home. I'm thinking from the perspective of an SAP central entry point choice.

What key benefits does SAP Work Zone Standard Edition offer over a typical SAP My Home CEP? I'm guessing ease of integration of third party backend system is one, but what else?

I'm also aware of SAP Start, but just focussing on the key benefits of Work Zone Standard Edition.

If anyone has anything they could share, I'd be most grateful.

Thanks,

Steve

Hi Stephen,

the SAP Fiori launchpad with My Home as the start page is the entry point to one SAP S/4HANA system, while SAP Build Work Zone, standard edition provides a central entry point across several systems, e.g. several SAP S/4HANA systems, SAP Cloud solutions, custom built apps or third party systems. SAP Build Work Zone gives users access to applications, but also to a central place for accessing To Dos from different systems (by integrating SAP Task Center), central notifications, central search and so on. It also provides mobile access to those applications, tasks, and notifications with the SAP Mobile Start app.

For more details, please take a look at these blogs that cover the benefits of having a central entry point with SAP Build Work Zone (at that time still called SAP Launchpad service):

Boost user productivity and simplify access to business apps with SAP Launchpad service

SAP Launchpad Service or SAP Work Zone: The cloud-based central entry point for all users

Hello Steve,

Assuming your fiori launchpad is deployed either in an embedded fashion or on a front end server, both of which are behind the firewall, deploying build work zone makes the launchpad accessible from outside the firewall as well and would be secured through the cloud connector tunnel.

Also if you have multiple systems, then rather than having several launchpads, they all could be brought to one in build work zone.

Thanks Yogananda,

I'll take a look at that blog, it looks really good and appreciate the reply.

I guess to re-phrase my question: What benefits are there to deploying SAP Work Zone (Standard Ed) as the default CEP, over a well designed and role specific SAP My Home page from the Fiori Launchpad as a CEP?

Thanks,

Steve
