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.
