SoftServe jumpstarts a stalled AWS modernization project with CAST

“CAST insights, combined with Softserve’s SAMP, convinced the client to begin planning and budgeting for the modernization project.”

CAST Highlight and CAST Imaging provided the fact‑based baseline that triggered SoftServe’s AWS migration and modernization project and supported its execution — resulting in annual cost savings of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Challenge

SoftServe’s client, a North America-based healthcare technology provider, aimed to modernize one of its key .NET monoliths running on EC2 to .NET Core, to safely and securely integrate it into its fully AWS-hosted platform.

Lacking sufficient knowledge and resources to manually assess the application, the company engaged SoftServe to conduct a comprehensive assessment, develop a detailed modernization roadmap, and evaluate the ROI of the migration – setting the stage for a successful transition.

Solution

SoftServe leveraged both CAST Highlight and CAST Imaging to support two key areas of the modernization project: containerization and UI modernization. With CAST Highlight, they uncovered more than 130 blockers that had the potential to impede the containerization process and identified objects that were incompatible with .NET Core.

With CAST Imaging, SoftServe mapped the dependencies of stored procedures containing much of the application's business logic.

Results

SoftServe and CAST experts completed the “Assess and Architect” phase on the application in three weeks, presenting findings to the platform engineering team who then began planning & budgeting for modernization.

Thanks to CAST’s insights, SoftServe started the “Build and Deploy” phase using its Application Modernization Platform (SAMP), resulting in a modernization project that saved the Client $500,000 annually in infrastructure, development, and operations costs.
