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. CAST technology automatically ‘understands’ custom-built software systems and provides insights into their inner workings, with MRI-like precision. 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.

Performance on Large Codebases takes a long time

Cast delivers excellent insights once running, the on-premise integration was challenging. Combined with the rather high price point, this makes adoption less straightforward than it could be
