latest SAP releases

15. Interviews
Mr. O’Brien Hekandjo- Chief Officer, Technical Services
“SAP Fiori is a great innovation from SAP, it allows me to do my releases and approvals
from anywhere using my iPad, thus improving productivity and business processes”
Mr. David Magongo – Senior Manager, Transmission
“It has always been a challenge to execute some tasks while away in the field as corporate
network is required. I still remember those days when I used to drive to the office just to
approve leave or do releases. With SAP Fiori, I can do the approvals and releases even
when I am out of office as long as my iPhone is with me. Most of the Engineering Services
supervisors have also shared their sentiments about SAP Fiori that it really lightened their
burdens”
Mr. Nico Hough- Chief System Administrator, IT
“I move around a lot, and to approve thinks like leave and trips was always a hassle as it
required me to logon to my notebook, Now with SAP Foiri I can do my approvals from
anywhere, very quickly, and it is user friendly”
