The process of switching the old system (Oracle) off and turning the new system (Workday Financials) on is called cutover. It's a simple name for a very complex process that is not at all as easy as flipping a switch.
There are frost and freeze dates within systems as transactions are moved from the old system to the new, which results in the need for much coordination, communication, and syncing of details.
The Cutover team has been working on a plan since December, meeting with process owners to understand all the factors they'll need to consider for cutover. They've continued to revise the cutover plan from their ongoing work to arrive at a meaningful plan and timelines that can be shared with our partners across UVA.
As Cutover plans are firmed up and made ready to share, you can expect consistent updates on the process. We'll share timelines, FAQs, and a variety of forums where you can get your questions answered.
Cutover may be complicated, but it's a critical and exciting step in moving from our current state to the future state. We look forward to moving through the experience with you!
