With the browser acting as a lightweight client, users are able to access simplified, tailored SAP transactions everywhere and at any time, increasing usability, reducing errors and eliminating IT installations of SAPGUI. Web UI Suite includes two components:

• Process Engine: It takes the role of creating streamlined business processes in SAP ERP and executes them to the highest extent of efficiency created in the context of GuiXT WS/64 Web UI data processing.
• GuiXT Fuzion: Renders the SAP screens in Enterprise Portal in the SAP NetWeaver platform through iViews to display the customized screens.

While the standalone version gives users flexibility to view SAP transactions in web look and feel, portal integration of Web UI Suite provides single sign on feature with Log-on ticket or User Mapping options to be used in GuiXT Web UI once it is set in Enterprise Portals. Style sheets can be applied to the rendered SAP screens for an enriched view of SAP transactions in both standalone and portal.
