Case Study: Wells Fargo achieves faster cloud migration planning with CAST Highlight

Wells Fargo analyzes 4,500+ applications in weeks with CAST

Wells Fargo, a major global financial institution, faced the immense challenge of modernizing a portfolio of over 4,500 diverse applications for cloud migration. With a massive and complex codebase that included legacy software untouched for over a decade, the company needed an objective and scalable way to assess each application's condition and plan its modernization path without relying solely on subjective opinions from application teams. To address this, they turned to CAST and its product, CAST Highlight.

CAST implemented its software intelligence solution to automatically analyze the source code of every application, assessing cloud maturity, technical debt, and open source risks. This automated process, integrated with Wells Fargo's repositories, completed the planning in weeks instead of months or years. The results allowed Wells Fargo to automatically categorize applications and build a detailed migration roadmap, while also identifying specific code blockers for developers to resolve. CAST enabled the company to modernize its vast application portfolio with much greater speed and confidence.
