Direct cutover involves immediately switching from the old system to the new system, which can be a high-risk approach as any issues with the new system could directly impact sales and inventory management. The other implementation methods (phased-in implementation, parallel running, and pilot testing) involve gradually introducing the new system while still relying on the old system for backup, which can help to mitigate risk.
