delaware Adds Software Intelligence from CAST to Its Cloud and Application Management Offering

Modernization is a challenge for many organizations; a process often wrought with roadblocks and IT complexities related to a lack of visibility into the application portfolio. delaware will implement CAST’s powerful ‘MRI for Software’ to increase visibility into clients’ IT portfolios. Delivering fact-based cloud readiness assessments and generating critical insights into applications will help clients make informed decisions around executing a meaningful digital transformation.

“Being an early cloud adopter, delaware has guided many of its customers through the journey of modernizing its IT estate. The CAST partnership strengthens our approach to modernization journeys by further automating the inventory process of the current IT landscape. This optimization will deliver rapid insights for IT managers or enterprise architects and more deeply analyze custom-built software,” says Tom Vandewinckele, Solution Lead Cloud Enablement & Operations at delaware Belux. “Furthermore, we increase the migration speed and reduce risk by identifying applications that are particularly well-suited for the cloud. With CAST, we will be better positioned to bring our customers one step further than a lift and shift with grounded, application-level decisions and to deliver the true cloud value.”

Planning and executing a viable cloud migration strategy is crucial for any organization looking to remain competitive in today’s digital world. delaware will leverage CAST’s ‘MRI for Software’ to rapidly analyze the actual source code of entire application portfolios, in order to be able to objectively assess its cloud-readiness. 

“Business and IT owners face the challenge of prioritizing modernization efforts, ensuring the application changes safely proceed at pace. That requires accurate intelligence about the Cloud readiness, internal architecture, and evolving condition of the software being modernized,” said Alexandre Charlet, Managing Director of Northern Europe at CAST. “The ‘MRI for Software’ from CAST automatically provides this type of intelligence and architecture visibility based on easy to understand, contextual analysis of all the data structures, code components and their interdependencies in critical business systems”.
