Automated Cutover Management
Flawless go-lives with automatic plan generation, real-time tracking, and intelligent escalation
The Challenge
Go-lives and system migrations are often chaotic. Dozens of teams work with different Excel spreadsheets, nobody has the big picture. Dependencies between tasks are overlooked, critical steps forgotten. Typical scenario: A cutover takes 72 hours instead of the planned 12 - with massive overtime and six-figure damages from system outages. Status meetings every 30 minutes tie up key resources. When something goes wrong, often nobody notices until it's too late. Documentation is incomplete, during post-mortem analyses nobody can say exactly what happened when. Executive management has justified fear of every major release.
Our Solution
An intelligent cutover management system orchestrates the entire go-live process. Cutover plans are generated automatically based on templates and dependencies. Every task has clear owners, time windows, and dependencies. Real-time dashboards show current status, projected completion, and critical paths. Automatic escalations kick in immediately when delays occur - first to the team lead, then to management. Slack integration enables fast communication, while Confluence automatically creates complete documentation. The system learns from past cutovers and suggests realistic time estimates.
