Case Study: Major Advisory Firm achieves 50% faster discovery and stabilizes mission-critical software with CAST Imaging

Major advisory firm stabilizes and modernizes business critical software

Advisory, a top multinational professional services firm, partnered with a global multi‑level marketing leader in dietary supplements to stabilize and modernize a mission‑critical application (CRM, POS, payments, MDM). The in‑house system (React/JS UI with a .NET/C# and SQL Server backend using stored procedures) suffered frequent P1 outages and had poor documentation, making changes risky and threatening timely feature releases; the client needed a fast stabilization plan, modernization and a Java/container‑based MVP.

Advisory used CAST Imaging to automatically generate as‑is architecture blueprints, uncover structural flaws, and rapidly extract backend business rules. An initial 8‑week pod (SRE, QA analyst, solution architect) completed discovery and roadmap planning, then eight pods executed eight sprints to deliver the first increment and transition it to the client. Outcome: discovery and documentation in under 8 weeks (50% faster), reduced reliance on scarce SMEs, and a faster, more confident modernization path.
