CAST Achieves AWS Migration and Modernization Competency Status
30 November 2021 - 2:00PM
CAST announced today that it has achieved Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Migration and Modernization Competency status for AWS Partners.
This designation recognizes that CAST has demonstrated technical
proficiency and proven customer success accelerating customer
application migration and modernization journeys.
To support the seamless integration and deployment of AWS
solutions, AWS established AWS Competency Program to help customers
identify AWS Partners with deep industry experience and
expertise.
AWS launched the AWS Migration and Modernization Competency to
allow customers to easily and confidently engage highly specialized
AWS Partners that help AWS customers modernize their applications,
either before or after they are moved to AWS. The AWS Migration and
Modernization Competency takes on the heavy lifting of identifying
and validating industry leaders with proven customer success and
technical proficiency in migration and application modernization
tooling.
Achieving the AWS Migration and Modernization Competency
differentiates CAST as an AWS Partner with deep domain expertise,
delivering software products that make it easier for clients to
embrace cloud and application transformation, thereby reducing
licensing costs, optimizing operational costs, and improving
performance, agility, and resiliency.
“CAST is proud to be one of the first AWS Partners to achieve
the new AWS Migration and Modernization Competency status,” said
Marc Zablit, Executive Vice President Business Development at CAST.
“Enterprises are increasingly looking to take advantage of the
agility, breadth of services and pace of innovation that AWS
provides for their complex custom-built applications, which have
been mostly designed over the years on different environments and
need to be modernized. CAST technology helps enterprises to assess,
prioritize, and modernize for cloud their applications easier,
safer, and faster.”
“The AWS Migration and Modernization Competency provides the
widest and deepest variety of migration and modernization solutions
that allow customers and Partners to migrate and modernize to AWS
at scale,” said Bill Platt, General Manager, AWS Migration
Services.
CAST products provide insights into the inner workings and
structural condition of software applications, essential for
speeding up and de-risking their migration and modernization to
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 AWS services to use, and the best
migration path to take.
- CAST Imaging then automatically reverse-engineers the actual
architecture of a given application into interactive application
maps to help architects and developers navigate key modernization
steps, such as re-platforming, re-architecting, framework or
database replacement, breaking monoliths into services.
- Once in the cloud, continuous use of CAST ensures the
applications remain agile, safe, and resilient.
CAST software is already used to enable safer and faster
migration to cloud by hundreds of enterprises and by leading system
integrators, such as Accenture, CGI, DXC, IBM Services, Infosys,
LTI, Wipro.
“A global manufacturing company with 95,000 employees embarked
on a massive AWS migration effort for applications using multiple
technologies, including Java, .NET, VB, PowerBuilder and COBOL,
many requiring modernization,” said Zablit. “Using CAST Highlight,
633 applications were assessed in less than 12 weeks, and in just 3
months, the complete, detailed AWS migration roadmap was in place.
The manufacturer could begin the migration, start cutting data
center costs, and take advantage of AWS benefits.”
