Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The style of conversion described in the scenario is a plunge installation, where the old system is shut down completely and the new system is installed. This is in contrast to parallel installation, where both systems are run simultaneously for a period of time, phased installation, where the new system is implemented in stages, and pilot installation, where the new system is tested in a small area or group before a full rollout. Preemptive installation is not a recognized term in the context of information systems conversion.
