Case Study: SoftServe achieves rapid legacy application modernization planning with CAST Highlight

SoftServe completes legacy application modernization assessment in 2 weeks with CAST

SoftServe, a global IT consulting company, was engaged by its client, a leading SaaS provider of integrated risk management solutions, to modernize and migrate a large legacy .NET application to AWS. The challenge was to assess and plan the modernization of over 5.2 million lines of code within just two weeks, despite having scarce documentation and minimal input from the client's own experts. To tackle this, SoftServe turned to CAST, using its CAST Highlight product to automate the application assessment.

Using CAST Highlight, SoftServe automatically analyzed the extensive codebase, gaining comprehensive insights into container blockers, required fixes, and effort estimates for the move to AWS microservices. This intelligence, including ideal AWS service recommendations, enabled the rapid creation of a modernization plan. As a result, CAST empowered SoftServe to complete the complex assessment in only two weeks—a process that would otherwise have taken months—and delivered a clear roadmap to transform the application into a future-proof SaaS platform on AWS.
