About Company

Company Description

Updated 25th July 2024

Mission-critical, custom-built applications are becoming incredibly difficult to adapt to the ever-evolving needs of the business, to the point where it’s hardly possible for humans to keep up.

It augments the human capacity to help software owners maintain, enhance, modernize these applications with speed and confidence. Resulting from well over $200 million of R&D, CAST software is used and promoted by hundreds of companies, top management consultancies, the 10 largest system integrators, and all three major cloud vendors.
