Case Study: CGI achieves 20 person-days saved per month with CAST Highlight (CAST)

CGI saves 20 person-days of labor monthly with CAST Highlight

CGI, a global IT and business consulting firm serving 21 industries in 400 locations, maintains 500+ business applications totaling over 3.5 billion lines of code. Heavy use of open-source components improved innovation but raised security, licensing and obsolescence risks; manually analyzing the portfolio took dozens of person-days per month and was error-prone.

CGI implemented CAST Highlight, integrating its Jira application catalog and combining automated source-code analysis with qualitative application data to detect open-source and transitive-dependency risks. The automated process saved about 20 person-days per month, revealed security exposures previously missed, and increased ROI through CAST’s Software Health and Cloud Readiness insights for portfolio rationalization and cloud migration planning.
