SAP migration projects are typically Winback business, sometimes migrations within the IBM HW product line

• Hardware platform migrations –  Focus on HP and SUN

–  Main target platform: Power Systems / AIX & Linux on p/x

• Database platform migrations –  Focus on Oracle Winbacks

–  Main target database: DB2 LUW
