The CAST Application Intelligence Platform, "the Software that knows Software", provides Software Vendors with a variety of solutions, enabling you to:

• Run R&D like a business: get more from your teams, reduce time to market and improve the quality of delivery
• Help your product support and consulting practices deliver more value to clients
• Make it easier for customers to customize, integrate or upgrade your software and adopt new modules

Solutions for Research & Development
With CAST, you can improve AD Governance by measuring and monitoring the quantity and quality of work being done by in-house or outsourced R&D teams, and by facilitating their work by automatically documenting the structure of applications, APIs, and changes between versions. You’ll also help them better assess the impact of changes and associated costs.

Solutions for Consulting
By using CAST, your consulting teams can easily assess and understand customer applications or changes made to your software, thereby helping clients customize, integrate and upgrade your software.

Solutions for Customer Enablement
Through partner reselling and OEM agreements, you can deliver CAST software or CAST-enabled solutions to your customers, helping them to:

• Understand the inner structure of your software or its interactions with their applications with technical documentation (eBlueprints)
• Identify changes between software versions and the impact on their own applications or extension to your software
• Re-architect their existing applications to more easily adopt new modules from your software

• Improve the quality and maintainability of the work being done on your software and their applications, whether in–house or outsourced
• Enforce the development and architecture best practices you created to reduce the impact of software upgrades on custom code and interfaced applications.

Partnering with CAST
By partnering with CAST and making our software available to your installed base, you’ll improve customer satisfaction, help reduce the cost of your software ownership, and facilitate integration into your customers’ systems. You’ll also improve installed base management as adoption of new versions and additional modules of your software become easier to roll out, ultimately reducing the stress on your support services organization.

In addition, you can generate more revenue by reselling or co-selling licenses of CAST software, as well as by delivering CAST-enabled services. Partnering with CAST in a co-selling mode does not require a commitment or training of your sales and/or pre-sales resources.

CAST is being used to develop software at vendors such as SunGard, Mysis, Wystar, Allianz, Sofrecom, and Aldata, and to customize, integrate and/or upgrade software such as Oracle E-Business Suite, SAP, Siebel, Retek, JD Edwards, Amdocs, CSG’s Arbor, SunGard’s SCT Banner, and more.
