What if you could get an MRI for your legacy software? See inside your most complex applications to modernize faster and reduce risk.

Grappling With Clunky Old Software? Start by Understanding What’s Inside!
#1about 3 minutes

The pervasive challenge of working with legacy software

Most developers work on existing, undocumented code, creating significant business challenges across all industries.

#2about 5 minutes

Business drivers for modernizing complex applications

Key challenges like application modernization, improving developer productivity, and conducting software assessments for M&A drive the need for deep code understanding.

#3about 2 minutes

Understanding the root causes of software complexity

The complexity of modern applications stems from massive codebases, numerous interconnected technologies, and millions of code element dependencies.

#4about 2 minutes

The limitations of manual code analysis methods

Relying on outdated documentation, interrupting subject matter experts, or manually reading code is inefficient, incomplete, and unreliable for understanding complex systems.

Introducing CAST Imaging as an MRI for your software

CAST Imaging automatically analyzes source code and database scripts to create an interactive architectural blueprint of an application's inner workings.

#6about 2 minutes

Using software intelligence to accelerate modernization

Visualize application architecture to identify candidates for microservices, isolate outdated frameworks, and use advisors to plan cloud migrations.

#7about 3 minutes

Boosting developer productivity and faster onboarding

New developers can ramp up significantly faster by exploring application transaction flows visually, reducing the need to manually dig through code.

#8about 4 minutes

Assessing software quality with structural analysis

Use automated dashboards based on ISO 5055 standards to measure structural quality, identify critical flaws, and manage technical debt.

#9about 5 minutes

Q&A on tech stack, pricing, and generative AI

The tool's tech stack includes C++ and Go, pricing is per application based on size, and it provides deterministic context for generative AI rather than using it for analysis.
