S/4 HANA Migration

11

Scenario 1 - System Conversion: Existing SAP Business Suite Customer who wants to move to SAP S/4HANA

Scenario 3- New Implementation: New SAP customer who wants to move from legacy systems to SAP

To keep it simple, on premise edition can be installed by professional services vendor on SAP certified hardware (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.
