Operations, maintenance and contracts
Maintenance window
In short and in plain language
A maintenance window is a time that is set in advance. During this time, changes are made to a system.
The shop may then work only in part for a short while. Or it may be down for a short time.
Firms often pick a time with few visitors. That way they lose fewer sales.
