CAST Licensing Guidance
 CAST AIP Licenses - Highlights

• USD 20 per FTE (Internal charge back price @ IBM) - the license is for internal use only on IBM commercial
engagements by IBM employees (Authorized Users). 20% of Authorized users can be employees of IBM clients
embedded in IBM Services projects managed by IBM.

• The current AIP license is sized based on the number of FTEs associated with the applications analyzed with CAST AIP.
A FTE is a person that is either developing, defining, enhancing, architecting, building, maintaining, or testing an
application that is analyzed in CAST AIP. FTE is the metric to define the consumption of the AIP license, Authorized
Users isn’t.

• CAST data can only be shared with IBM clients / third party on an exceptional basis (ie: presales or crisis situation) but
never in a way that artificially provides permanent or regular access of CAST data to IBM clients / third parties. For clarity
purposes, IBM may share CAST AAD (health and sizing) outputs with clients for new AMS fixed fee engagements for a
period of 1 month, for the purpose of informing the client about the status of the applications, and/or for the purpose of
soliciting additional work from the client, and/or for the purpose of reselling CAST to the client, subject to the following
conditions:
• IBM must notify CAST of the intent to share outputs with client, share client name, and wait for approval from CAST to share such
outputs with client. Approval or denial will be provided by CAST within 24 hours of request (this is to avoid channel conflicts).
• Once approval is granted, IBM must involve CAST to present the benefits of CAST to IBM client team and client (this is to maximize
the possibility to sell through of CAST AOD following the 1 month initial period).

• As the license is solely meant for IBM internal use, the sharing by IBM of any CAST data on a non exceptional basis (ie:
presales or crisis situation) with clients / third party is subject to Analytics on Demand (AOD) fees. (pls refer slide # 3)

 Recommended CAST Highlight Solution Guidelines

• Upto 25 applications recommended to be solutioned to use CAST Highlight . For e.g., if the portfolio consists of 100 apps, the order
Guidance for the choice of 25 applications using the below ranking order of of priority to pick the 25 apps is as follows:
definition
1. Normally 5-10% of the modernize(highest priority) candidates 5% (5% of 100 apps) modernize app = 5 apps
2. Normally 15% - 20% containerized (moderate priority) candidates 15% (15% of 100 apps) containerized = 15 apps
3. Normally 5% - 10% consolidation (moderate priority) candidates 5% (5% of 100 apps) consolidated = 5 apps
------------- Total --------------- = 25 apps

• 8000 USD - license fee for 3 months duration

• SME support hrs to install/ configure / analyze to be added, calculated at 6 hrs per app for Band 8 CIC India practitioner

• Prices are the same in US$ or Euros

• IBM to notify CAST whenever engaging a client with Highlight as part of the offering (this is for CAST to protect IBM)

• 1 HL Subscription per engagement (ie 1 subscription cannot be used on more than 1 account)

• Global agreement between IBM and CAST includes confidentiality clauses so both parties can discuss business qualification

 CAST Features – Transition Phase Benefits
CAST Feature CAST Benefit
Component

Application Architecture
Analysis
Application Health Analysis
CAST AIP Use Architecture Checker to Analyze Application Architecture. This feature can be used to derive a
detailed view of the Intra layer and Intra component relationships which could help and augment the
efforts in documenting applications and enable knowledge transfer actives.
This can provide a productivity improvement of upto 5%
CAST AIP The Health Analysis can extract the most complex and risky transactions from the applications belonging
to the portfolio. This will help in focusing SME time and migration team efforts to the areas of the
portfolio that needs attention. The project health also helps Transition teams to negotiate realistic SLAs
with factual data in their hands with regards to the portfolio and application health. This feature can be
used to establish a project health base line and identify activities that are necessary to improve the
resilience, robustness and maintainability of the application. This base line could also be used to show
qualitative improvements achieved over time on the application portfolio
This can provide a productivity improvement of upto 10%

Application Security Analysis CAST AIP This feature can provide visibility into the critical security vulnerabilities that exist in the application
portfolio and enable provisioning of effort to eliminate them in steady state operations.
Provides mitigation of Security Threats during steady state.

Industry Benchmark CAST AIP This enables the transition team to provide the analysis of the application portfolio health objectively and
comparison provide client a realistic view of the application health against industry benchmarks.

Recommendation
• Use CAST AIP analysis to analyze potential risky applications, allocate resources and schedule SME time
• Use CAST AIP to baseline Application state for all applications and show improvements over time, use CAST benchmarking for realistic SLA negotiation
along with other metrics.
• Use CAST AIP Functionality of Architecture Checker to document Application architecture, code components and interdependencies
• Use CAST Architecture Checker output for new comer onboarding
