Dynamics 365 Sales cutover and go-live

Cutover is the planned move from the legacy system to Dynamics 365 Sales: the freeze, the final loads, the opening balances and the go/no-go call. superglue's agent writes the runbook from the project and the rehearsal, runs the final and delta loads with the tested tools, and reconciles before you and the client make the call.

How this step works

What the agent does

  • Writes the cutover runbook with tasks, owners and timings from the rehearsal.
  • Runs the final and delta loads with the tools tested in the rehearsal.
  • Reconciles opening balances and open items against the legacy system.
  • Prepares the go/no-go summary with the open issues.

What you decide and approve

  • The cutover date and the freeze window.
  • Go or no-go, together with the client.
  • The fallback plan if the answer is no.

What the client gets

  • A cutover runbook.
  • A signed go-live reconciliation.

What makes a Dynamics 365 Sales cutover work

  1. 01

    Freeze the old CRM by removing edit rights

    Set users to read-only in the source before the final extraction, so nothing changes after it. Avoid a month or quarter end, when sellers update the pipeline most.

  2. 02

    Load the delta as upserts

    Extract the records changed since the full load and upsert them on an alternate key that holds the source ID. Then turn paused automation back on and check that it fires.

  3. 03

    Decide go or no-go on agreed criteria

    Check the reconciliation, the open defects and that every user has a license and a security role. Agree the criteria and who decides before cutover weekend.

  4. 04

    Enable mailboxes before day one

    Server-side synchronization needs each mailbox approved, then tested and enabled. Without it, emails and meetings do not track to records on the first day.
