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.
