Cutover Doesn’t Start Two Weeks Before Go-Live
The most successful Oracle Cloud go-lives are rarely the result of brilliant cutover weekends. They are the result of months of preparation.
Every Oracle programme eventually reaches the same milestone.
Go-live is approaching.
The pressure builds.
- Programme teams begin producing detailed cutover plans.
- War rooms are established.
- Weekend schedules are created.
- Resources are allocated.
- Every activity is carefully timed.
- It all feels organised.
But there is one problem.
- The planning has started far too late.
- Cutover is often treated as the final activity of an Oracle implementation.
In reality, it is one of the first activities that should be planned.
