- Compliance with ISO 27001 certification for Information Security Management Systems;
- Issuance of the SAP CRASH report, which discovered numerous coding errors in custom SAP applications; and
- Rollout of the upgraded version of CAST Highlight (www.casthighlight.com), offering advanced benchmarking to assess software risk, complexity and size across large IT portfolios.
CAST's diagnostics are based on industry measurement standards from the Consortium for IT Software Quality (CISQ). They assess the risk, structural quality, security, and cost of maintaining an application, and are designed to provide a significant return on investment (ROI) by enabling management to control their core software assets.
"CAST analytics have become a vital tool for many IT executives who want to revolutionize the way they do business, in an era of digital transformation," said Vincent Delaroche, CAST's chief executive officer.
