The challenge: Only able to test and shut down 130 services in 10 hours, leading to increasing regulatory scrutiny and risk of incidents.
‍The solution: The entire data center recovery testing event was mapped on Cutover, cutting down on the time and effort needed and ensuring plans had been approved by stakeholders.
‍Outcomes: The bank now has 500 people regularly using Cutover and they can flip over 400 services in 14 hours - a 300% efficiency improvement.

Key takeaways:

• Cutover enabled the team to run rehearsals and identify any changes that needed to be made, which enabled a smoother go live
• Dashboards provided real-time updates for all participants
• Cutover gave the bank more confidence that they could quickly fail over services between their data centers and enabled them to prove this capability to the regulator
