Optimize applications for cloud faster

Quickly map pathways and pinpoint the changes required

“Less than 40% of cloud projects succeed when only using subjective planning methods.”

The challenge

Whether it’s migrating to the cloud, or optimizing after a lift-and-shift, the first necessary step is assessing cloud maturity. Given the complexities and scale involved, even skilled architects can need months to chart the best path forward for cloud-native and PaaS environments. As timelines extend, leadership’s frustration rises.

Enter CAST

Within minutes of activation, CAST identifies the source code patterns that will speed up or slow down optimization for top cloud PaaS environments. Analyzing hundreds of applications, CAST pinpoints the changes needed and quantifies the effort required to execute them. Roadmaps are immediately built based on these cloud maturity factors and, critically, their business context. Software owners are freed to capture cloud value at unprecedented rates.

“Without CAST, our cloud migration program would have been delayed by 6 months.”
