Fact-based Technology Due Diligence for M&A

Black box reality

The software of your target is a maze of technologies, millions of lines of code, thousands of objects. How can your advisory firm know its condition? Guesswork, interviews, traditional tools are only scratching the surface.

MRI-like precision

Without involving developers, CAST technology automatically ‘understands’ the inner workings of complex software systems. It takes all application artifacts, reverse-engineers the internal structures, and provides insights about the software condition. It is the only technology fully applying ISO 5055, the standard for assessing structural integrity of software applications.

ISO 5055 based

Without involving developers

Any size application

Any mix of technologies

Value & risk assessment done in a week

Private equity and advisory firms leverage CAST for $100M to $10B+ transactions.
