Reducing M&A risks based on facts

Black box reality

Your M&A target's software is maze of technologies and millions of lines of code.
How do you (and your advisor) know if it is rock-solid, efficient, and safe?
Guesswork, interviews, and commodity tools are no longer enough.

Zero subjectivity

ISO 5055 offers the only way to pinpoint hidden flaws and avoid post-deal surprises. It codifies the toughest rules for resiliency, efficiency, maintainability, security of software, based on a ten-year effort by CMU, MIT, CISQ, Mitre, OMG.

Highest accuracy

CAST automatically ‘understands’ how complex software works. It deciphers the internal structures and finds all you should know about its actual condition. Today, it is the only product fully applying ISO 5055, the new standard for structural quality.
