„An engineering term, "cutover" is the process of transitioning from one system to a a new system. It specifically refers to switching from an old (hardware and/or software) system to a replacement system, covering the overlap from when the new system is live until the old system has been shut down.” - http://www.netlingo.com/word/cutover.php
„- in timpul unui Cut-Over se va stabili termenul pentru tranzitia la noul sistem, iar vechiul sistem va fi dezactivat, motiv pentru care se va testa gradul de solicitare al noului sistem prin simularea intr-un sistem de test(copie a sistemului de productie)a unei zile de lucru normale.(la nivel tranzactional) Se va testa de altfel functionarea tuturor aplicatiilor de migrare a datelor catre si dinspre SAP, vor fi recreate situatii de incarcare a datelor externe in SAP si monitorizarea aplicatiilor de extractie si conversie a datelor.” - http://sapr3romania.blogspot.fr/2009/11/dry-run-cut-over-rol...
