Case Study: Accenture accelerates application discovery with CAST Imaging

Accenture cuts application discovery effort by 30% with CAST

Accenture faced a challenge from a major European financial services client, needing to modernize three complex and poorly documented legacy applications built with VB, .NET, and SQL Server under a tight deadline. Without access to the client's maintenance team for insights, Accenture turned to CAST and its CAST Imaging product to accelerate application discovery.

By using CAST Imaging to automatically generate interactive maps of the applications' code and dependencies, CAST enabled Accenture to rapidly understand the systems' inner workings. This resulted in a 30% reduction in exploration effort, the grouping of code into over 60 functional modules, and the delivery of a fact-based, low-risk modernization plan for the client.
