HI,

Cutover comes in the final prearation phase.

In this phase, you complete testing, end user training, system

management and cutover activities to finalize your readiness to go live. Furthermore, the Final

Preparation phase serves to resolve all critical open issues. Upon successful completion of this phase,

you will be ready to run your business in your live R/3 System.

Hi

Cut over phase is the phase in the project just before the go-live. Say for example if you are implementing SAP and a date will be fixed to go-live on SAP. Business will decide on the transactions that need to be maintained say from some back date. All the activities need to be recorded so that they can be uploaded before the go-live I mean before handing over the system for the daily use. that is one kind of a cutover activity.

If you take a scenario of upgrade then there could be several cut over activities that need to be done after the system is upgraded.

So it is more driven on type of the project and other details,

From MM point of view you will be responsible to all the cut over activities that are planned for the go-live

Please let me know if you have a specific scenario and need any more information.

Thanks
