Astadia, a leading software-enabled mainframe migration company, announced a partnership with CAST, a software intelligence market leader, to help organizations worldwide accelerate their mainframe migration and application modernization programs.
Despite being costly to maintain and difficult to scale, many enterprises and government agencies continue to rely on mainframes. However, mainframe modernization and transitioning to modern cloud computing technologies are now seen as a strategic priority across all industry sectors.
The new partnership enables organizations to take advantage of Astadia’s long history of working with mainframes and CAST’s intelligence solutions to successfully modernize their mission-critical business applications. It provides the skills, experience, and tools to minimize the time spent in the mainframe migration transition phase and maximize the long-term success and advantages of modernization.

“Enterprises and software vendors are increasingly looking to take advantage of the cloud for complex-built applications, which are mostly designed for different environments and need to be modernized or refactored. Typically, there is no accurate intelligence available about their actual architecture or what needs to be changed,” said Marc Zablit, CAST EVP Business Development.
CAST products provide insights into the inner workings and structural condition of custom-built applications, essential for speeding up and de-risking their migration and modernization to the cloud. CAST Highlight can analyze hundreds of applications in a week to pinpoint what needs to change in the source code, the effort required, the best-suited cloud services to use, and the best migration path. CAST Imaging then automatically reverse engineers the existing architecture of a given application into interactive application maps to help architects and developers navigate key modernization steps.
