Testimonials
Turned Chaos into Control
When we started our project, we were in complete chaos - tight timelines, complex legal requirements, and extremely high risk since we couldn't roll back once we began. I knew we were in safe hands from the very first interview with Antoine.
What stood out immediately was the attention to detail and ability to bridge the gap between our technical teams and business stakeholders. When we discovered our system outage would impact globally instead of just Spain, tensions were sky-high. Antoine quickly provided alternatives, calmed everyone down, and gave us confidence we could still deliver.
The devil is always in the details with cutover, and that's exactly what Cutover Manager Services delivered - turning chaotic conversations into meaningful, actionable plans.
Thanks for making the impossible possible!

Frequently Asked Questions
1. We’re already stretched thin—how can we possibly manage cutover planning now?
- That’s exactly why we exist. We embed directly into your programme, taking ownership of cutover planning without adding extra burden to your team. Our approach integrates seamlessly with your existing resources.
2. Isn’t our system integrator handling the cutover?
-
System integrators focus on building and delivering systems, but they don’t orchestrate the entire Go Live across business, IT, and vendors. We specialise in that orchestration, ensuring every part of your programme is aligned and ready.
3. We’ve already included cutover in our project plan—why do we need more?
- A project plan line item isn’t a strategy. True cutover success requires a dedicated, structured approach designed to manage complexity, mitigate risks, and ensure precise execution.
4. Our transformation is unique—will your frameworks really work for us?
-
Every programme has its nuances, but complexity is our specialty. With over 100 diverse cutovers under our belt, we tailor our proven frameworks to fit your specific industry, systems, and challenges.
5. We’re already over budget—can we really justify another consultant?
- Failures cost far more than prevention. Our services protect your Go Live, your budget, and your reputation by avoiding costly delays, downtime, and rework. We deliver clear ROI by safeguarding your investment.
6. Can’t we just manage cutover internally like we’ve done before?
- Past success doesn’t guarantee future wins, especially at enterprise scale. We bring specialised expertise that fills blind spots, ensuring your team avoids hidden risks that internal efforts often miss.
