The challenge when moving to Cloud is the complexity of custom-built applications. They are made of multiple layers and technologies, tens of thousands of objects, and created over the years by hundreds of developers who are no longer around. There is typically no map of the actual architecture, no intelligence about the insides of the software.
CAST helps quickly assess client application portfolio for PaaS migration and blueprints complex systems for faster and safer modernization and re-factoring to AWS.
