CAST helps consulting services groups deliver more value to customers when customizing, integrating and upgrading vendor software to better match client-specific requirements.

The CAST Application Intelligence Platform:

• Produces technical documentation of the internal structure of a vendor’s base line applications to facilitate consulting services knowledge acquisition on new versions of software, or on extensions or modifications made to base line versions

• Documents interactions between base line applications and customers’ applications
• Detects changes between the original application from a vendor and the customized version from a customer, or between a patched and un-patched version of an application
• Helps identify the impactsof upgrades or patches on the custom code built by the customer*
• Helps estimate the costs associated with impact mitigation work
• Measures compliance of the customer’s applications with the software vendors published rules for custom code development or use of APIs
• Identifies non-compliant application objects for remediation
• Facilitates re-architecture of a customer’s custom applications so that some can be replaced by new modules from a software vendor

CAST is used by consulting groups across industries at leading Software Vendors such as SunGard, Mysis, Wystar, Allianz, Sofrecom, Aldata, and more

* This functionality requires limited consulting work for adaptation to a given customer.
