Description
CAST Highlight is a rapid software intelligence platform that delivers portfolio-level insights in minutes, helping organizations understand the true condition and modernization readiness of their applications. It evaluates every codebase for technical debt, fragility, resiliency gaps, cloud blockers, open-source vulnerabilities, and IP risk using automated code scanning and industry benchmarks. The platform distinguishes between structural issues that require remediation and low-impact debt that can be safely tolerated, enabling smarter investment decisions. CAST Highlight automatically identifies ideal migration paths to cloud-native services, complete with estimated effort and blockers to address. It also evaluates software sustainability by tracing code inefficiencies and estimating related CO₂ impact, allowing teams to prioritize greener development choices. Security, compliance, and third-party component risks are surfaced within minutes, not months. With clear dashboards and board-ready reporting, executives can instantly quantify progress, validate architectures, and track transformation KPIs. CAST Highlight empowers enterprises to modernize faster, cut risk, and strategically steer their software portfolios with evidence—not assumptions.
Description
ER/Studio Data Architect is an enterprise data modeling solution that helps organizations design, document, and manage data architecture across modern platforms. It enables data architects and database professionals to create conceptual, logical, and physical data models that connect business meaning with technical implementation. By defining entities, relationships, and standards before systems are built, ER/Studio helps ensure consistent definitions, accurate reporting, and reliable analytics.
A core capability of ER/Studio Data Architect is logical data modeling, which defines business concepts independently of technology. Logical models act as a semantic foundation for the organization, helping teams align on the meaning of key entities such as customers, products, and transactions. This approach reduces ambiguity, prevents semantic drift across systems, and improves the reliability of analytics and AI initiatives.
The platform provides powerful forward and reverse engineering capabilities. Architects can generate database schemas from models or reverse engineer existing databases to document and analyze current structures. Schema compare and merge tools detect differences between versions and generate scripts to apply updates efficiently.
ER/Studio Data Architect supports major platforms including SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL, Snowflake, Databricks, and JSON-based systems. Automation features such as macros, data lineage, and impact analysis help teams understand dependencies and reduce manual work. The platform also includes ERbert, an AI-powered data modeling assistant that can generate logical models from natural language prompts, accelerating model creation while maintaining structured data architecture.
