S/4 HANA Migration

Scenario 1 - System Conversion: Existing SAP Business Suite Customer who wants to move to SAP S/4HANA
Scenario 2 - Landscape Transformation: Existing SAP Business Suite Customer who wants to optimize their
system landscape and move to SAP S/4HANA

(something like a TDI) whereas cloud edition will be installed by SAP itself and the overall support/maintenance
would be done by SAP for which the customer has to pay subscription fee.
