CAST intros CIO dashboard for on-the-go app risk detox

NEW YORK, USA: With so many high profile IT outages dominating the news this year, CIOs world-wide are finding they need to have better insight into the code quality and software architecture of their critical IT applications.

Yet, with demanding project deadlines and increasingly complex custom software systems, rigorous checking of toxic Technical Debt -- the sort which causes outages and slows down projects -- can fall dangerously low on their to-do lists.

For many CIOs, current software analysis processes make it difficult to find answers to simple business questions about the evolving state of their important software systems -- e.g., which applications are the most vulnerable, which vendors are delivering as promised, and how can we speed time-to-market for new products.

That changes today, with the introduction of a customizable application analytics dashboard for IT executives to monitor their key applications' performance, security, changeability, and robustness from anywhere in real time.

Once set up, the newly-released version of CAST's flagship product, Application Intelligence Platform 7.2 (AIP) dramatically shortens reviews of critical application risk factors -- which can typically take up days per quarter.
