The process or moment of switching from one system, procedure, or service to another, or an area of forest cleared by cutting down trees.
From 'cut' and 'over,' literally meaning to cut across or switch. In forestry, it refers to land that has been cut over (trees harvested). In technology, it means switching over to a new system.
When a company does a 'cutover' to a new computer system, it's one of the most nerve-wracking moments in IT history—everything has to switch at once, and if something goes wrong, the entire business can grind to a halt!
