Ülekandumise is the noun form referring to the act or process of transferring something from one party to another, or handing over responsibility, information, or physical items. The term is used across various domains, including technology, administration, business, and sport, to describe a transfer or exchange.

In information technology and data management, ülekandumise denotes data exchange or transfer between systems, applications, or networks. It can refer to data migration, system integration, or real-time data transmission, as well as to handover of control during system or process changes. In organizational and administrative contexts, the term covers the transfer of responsibility during shift changes, project handovers, or when assets or tasks are reassigned.

In sports and athletics, ülekandumise describes the passing of a baton or other object between team members during a leg of a relay race or similar competition. The concept emphasizes the handover moment and the conditions under which it occurs to ensure smooth continuation of the competition.

Etymology-wise, the word derives from the elements over (üle) and to carry (kanda), forming a noun that expresses the action of carrying over or transferring.
