CAST Highlight enabled SoftServe to develop a migration and modernization plan for a legacy .NET system in just two weeks.
Challenge
SoftServe’s Client, a leading SaaS provider of integrated risk management solutions, needed to modernize its flagship product comprised of 5.2 million lines of code and migrate it from on-premises to AWS to improve agility, reliability, and security. The client engaged SoftServe to develop a comprehensive modernization business case, transitioning a legacy .NET monolith to microservices on AWS with modern DevOps practices.
The challenge was exacerbated by scarce documentation and minimal help from client experts.
Solution
SoftServe chose CAST technology to automate an application modernization assessment and evaluate the current state of the Client’s platform.
CAST Highlight automatically analyzed the application’s extensive codebase and delivered comprehensive insights on modernizing the legacy .NET system on AWS. Intelligence included critical container blockers, required fixes, and precise effort estimates. Ideal AWS native service recommendations helped accelerate the transition process.
Results
In two weeks, CAST Highlight’s cloud and container insights fueled an assessment report for SoftServe’s client modernization project to move from a legacy .NET system.
The rapid analysis demonstrated SoftServe’s ability to quickly understand an unfamiliar application and build positive momentum for change.
SoftServe delivered the modernization project, enabling the client to transform its application into a future-proof base for its SaaS business.
