Purpose
Product road maps are designed to support the product adoption planning activities of SAP customers. A product road map
helps a customer match short term and long term goals with technology plans.
A product road map describes how the feature / function capabilities in an SAP product or technology are planned to progress
over time, in general:
Today = changes in the current release version
Planned Innovations = changes planned in upcoming development releases (next 12-18 months)
Future Direction = proposed themes for a product or technology beyond the planned releases
The product road maps are targeted for use by IT planners, enterprise architects, SAP Consulting, and SAP consulting
partners.
Complementary resources
For a more general description of the business problems / processes being solved and supported by SAP, refer to Solution
Road maps.
For more detailed technical information please refer to the Product Availability Matrix, Ramp-up Knowledge Transfer materials
and product documentation.

Dynpro-based front end technologies – SAP GUI family Description
SAP GUI is SAP´s universal client for accessing SAP functionality. All three members of the SAP GUI family have unique
attributes that make them especially suited for different user environments
Key capabilities
Graphical user interfaces for all SAP applications based on Dynpro
technology
Separation of user interface and application logic
Support for various environments (WTS, browser,…) and operating
systems
Benefits
High performance and user interactivity
Fully compatible with all supported SAP NetWeaver releases
Seamless integration into nearly all environments
SAP GUI for HTML
SAP GUI for Java SAP GUI for Windows
Note The SAP GUI family is and will be maintained according to SAP’s support level agreements. It will continuously receive focused new investments
Continue using applications based on SAP GUI as well as developing own applications or adding enhancements to existing applications is absolutely safe
Following SAP’s UX strategy SAP GUI is not a key UI technology for SAPs developers to build completely new applications; here SAP recommends to use Web Dynpro ABAP/
Floorplan Manager (WebClient UI framework for CRM applications) or SAPUI5. However SAP continues to extend existing Dynpro-based applications with this technology

Web Dynpro Java Description
Web Dynpro Java (WDJ) is a development and runtime environment that is used to create professional user interfaces for
business applications powered by SAP NetWeaver. It is based on the model view controller paradigm.
Key capabilities
Meta model approach with declarative programming
Reusability and better maintainability by using components
Graphical support with tools in the Web Dynpro perspective
SAP NetWeaver Java development infrastructure (NWDI) supports team work
with different services such as source code versioning and the central build
service
Benefits
Platform-independence
Minimized implementation effort
Note Web Dynpro Java will be maintained according to SAP’s support level agreements. It will continuously receive focused new investments
It is safe to continue using applications based on WDJ and also for a customer to add little enhancements based on existing capabilities
However, following the SAP UX strategy, WDJ is not a key UI technology for SAPs developers to build new SAP standard applications. SAP recommends using SAPUI5 or Web
Dynpro ABAP with Floorplan Manager (for CRM applications the WebClient UI framework)
