Chapter 7: WxCC Migration Execution (Phase 2) -- 7.4 Cutover Execution

7.4 Cutover Execution

7.4.1 Cutover Overview

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|              WXCC CUTOVER - HIGH-LEVEL APPROACH                             |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|                                                                             |
|  CUTOVER TYPE: Weekend Big-Bang (per wave)                                 |
|                                                                             |
|  WHY WEEKEND:                                                              |
|  * Lowest call volume period                                               |
|  * Maximum time for issue resolution                                       |
|  * Minimal customer impact                                                 |
|  * Staff availability for extended hours                                   |
|                                                                             |
|  WHY BIG-BANG (NOT PARALLEL):                                             |
|  * UCCX depends on CUCM CTI - no parallel possible after Phase 1          |
|  * Single Entry Point cannot route to both UCCX and WxCC simultaneously   |
|  * Clean cutover reduces complexity                                        |
|                                                                             |
|  CUTOVER SEQUENCE:                                                         |
