Major bank modernizes 100+ applications for AWS in a fraction of the time with CAST Highlight.

Challenge

A major bank in LATAM needed to migrate and modernize a complex software application portfolio comprised of 102 applications and diverse technologies including .NET, C#, VB, and Java.

The Client desired to move these applications to AWS and optimize them to reduce post-migration consumption costs. Documentation of the applications was sparse making an accurate assessment difficult.

Solution

The Client chose CAST Highlight to automatically analyze all 102 applications and develop a migration and modernization plan based on the actual, technical characteristics of each application.

CAST Highlight insights included a detailed roadmap outlining the ideal path for each application to the cloud including which ones to Refactor, Rearchitect, or Rebuild. Insights also identified Blockers in the code that needed to be removed, remediation advice, and effort estimates.

Results

Using the intelligence produced by CAST Highlight, the Client was able to assess their application portfolio in a fraction of the time and build a plan based on facts. In one example, they were able to assess a complex undocumented application in 40 minutes with CAST instead of 1 month if they had done it manually.

The Client now expects to complete migration & modernization of all 102 applications on AWS in 7 months instead of over 1 year they had originally expected.
