With Ask CAST, IT leaders can query this intelligence in plain language through Microsoft Teams or AI assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT and receive grounded answers based on their portfolio data. By automatically analyzing the source code of hundreds or thousands of applications, CAST Highlight helps organizations assess cloud maturity, AI & Agentic readiness, software health, open source risk, resiliency, technical debt, and sustainability from a single lightweight scan. CAST Highlight is designed for CIOs, CTOs, enterprise architects, cloud leaders, application owners, security teams, and modernization teams that need a fact-based way to prioritize modernization, cloud, and AI adoption decisions at scale. It helps teams identify which applications are ready to move quickly, which require remediation, and where hidden software risks may affect transformation cost, timelines, security, resilience, or business outcomes. Unlike traditional manual or survey-based assessments, CAST Highlight analyzes application source code directly to rapidly segment portfolios, prioritize modernization paths, and uncover risks before they impact transformation programs. Organizations use CAST Highlight to: - Accelerate cloud migration and modernization planning - Segment applications by cloud maturity and transformation path - Identify high-value AI adoption opportunities - Assess Agentic Readiness across application portfolios - Prioritize technical debt, resiliency, and maintainability improvements - Assess open source vulnerabilities and IP / license exposure - Evaluate software sustainability with Green Impact insights - Reduce complexity, cost, and risk across transformation programs Businesses move faster using CAST to understand, improve, and transform their software. Through semantic analysis of source code, CAST generates dashboards and 3D maps for executives, technologists, and AI to navigate inside individual applications and across entire portfolios. This intelligence enables companies to steer, speed, and report on initiatives such as technical debt, modernization, and cloud. As the pioneer of the software intelligence field, CAST is trusted by the world’s leading companies and governments, their consultancies and cloud providers. See it all at castsoftware.com.
