About CAST CAST leads the emerging market category of software intelligence. Its technology automatically deciphers custom-built applications and provides instant insights into their inner workings – from portfolio views, down to the finest application detail – whenever executives and practitioners need to know, improve, transform, or control their critical applications and database systems.

Backed by more than $200 million in R&D, CAST has gained unprecedented recognition in its category from the industry, including large organizations, e.g. in North America AT&T, MarshMcLennan, Broadridge, Capital One, 3M, the US Air Force; Global System Integrators such as Accenture, IBM or CGI; advisory firms such as BCG, Bain or E&Y and all the major Cloud Service Providers such as AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud.

Cloud is one of the fastest growing use cases of CAST: the insights automatically generated by CAST about hundreds of custom-developed applications and tens of millions of lines of code in a week allow unblocking “analysis paralysis” and accelerate considerably migration & modernization journeys.

AWS, Microsoft and Google Cloud, each saw value to accelerate migration & modernization to their clouds, and in particular to their PaaS services. They each built global ad hoc partnerships with CAST under which they recommend CAST, embedded its technology in their migration & modernization programs and fund it for use by their own teams and their system integrator partners (SIs) at hundreds of their customers around the world.
