CAST Highlight

CAST Highlight is a SaaS software intelligence technology that delivers rapid, fact-based insights across your entire application portfolio. By automatically analyzing the source code of hundreds or thousands of applications, CAST Highlight helps organizations assess cloud maturity, AI & Agentic readiness, software health, open source risk, resiliency, technical debt, and sustainability from a single lightweight scan.

CAST Highlight is designed for CIOs, CTOs, enterprise architects, cloud leaders, application owners, security teams, and modernization teams that need a fact-based way to prioritize Azure migration, modernization, and AI adoption decisions at scale. It helps teams identify which applications are ready to move quickly, which require remediation, and where hidden software risks may affect transformation cost, timelines, security, resilience, or business outcomes.

Unlike traditional manual or survey-based assessments, CAST Highlight analyzes application source code directly to rapidly segment portfolios, prioritize modernization paths, and uncover risks before they impact transformation programs. CAST partners with Microsoft to help enterprises and service providers accelerate application migration, modernization, cloud-native adoption, and AI readiness on Microsoft Azure.

Organizations use CAST Highlight to:

• Accelerate Azure migration and modernization planning
• Segment applications by cloud maturity and transformation path
• Prioritize technical debt, resiliency, and maintainability improvements
• Assess open source vulnerabilities and IP / license exposure
• Evaluate software sustainability with Green Impact insights
• Identify high-value AI adoption opportunities
• Assess Agentic Readiness across application portfolios
• Reduce complexity, cost, and risk across transformation programs
