        Hi Srichand,

        I extracted below from IFS learning material.

        ●The Cut-Over Plan is a very detailed plan of all the Activities and Tasks needed to perform the actual cut over from current Customer systems to the Solution. Normally, the Cut-Over Plan would define steps within Tasks to a level of detail measured hour by hour. The Cut-Over Plan has to be very specific in terms of Tasks, dependencies between Tasks, and responsibilities.
        ●The Cut-Over Plan should typically contain the following areas:
        ●Check all the activities on which the Cut-Over is dependent are carried out in advance.
        ●Closing activities in old solution.
        ●Technical preparations and verifications.
        ●Closing of access to old solution.
        ●Data migration to be carried out.
        ●Verification of data migration.
        ●New interfaces into operation (move from old to new Solution).
        ●Verification of key processes by Project Team and Key Users.
        ●Manual registration needed before End Users are allowed to access the new Solution.
        ●Give access to End-Users.
        ●Any remaining Data migration work
         
        Also below noted the very high level cutover plan done for one of our customer & you may get idea from this. Also please note that these items are vary from one customer to another customer based on their business.
