PRACTICE / ENTERPRISE
Cutover is a paragraph in the runbook, not the headline.
Migration without the surprises.
We move systems, data, and applications into modern environments with the discipline migrations demand — inventory, parity testing, parallel runs, and the runbook to roll back if reality disagrees with the plan.

02 / ENGAGEMENT SPINE
How a vyu migrations engagement actually runs.
Five phases — each with a clear deliverable so the progress is checkable, not vibes. Phases overlap in practice; the rail is sequence, not gates.
- 01
Discover
Inventory the estate down to the data record. Identify the dependencies that aren't in any diagram yet.
- Estate inventory
- Dependency map
- Risk register
- 02
Design
Pick the right R (rehost, replatform, refactor, retire) per workload. Document the answer per workload.
- 6Rs decision
- Target architecture
- Cutover plan
- 03
Engineer
Build parallel-run plumbing, parity tests, and the rollback path before touching the cutover switch.
- Parity tests
- Rollback path
- Pilot wave
- 04
Deploy
Cut over by wave with shadow runs and explicit go/no-go gates. Reconcile every counter that matters.
- Wave cutovers
- Reconciliation
- Go/no-go log
- 05
Operate
Post-migration optimisation — rightsizing, performance tuning, and the decommissioning of legacy paths.
- Rightsizing
- Decom plan
- Quarterly review
