Our Story

CASt was founded by Jim McCool to help organizations realize clear financial and operational impact from their technology investments. After years of negotiating software and cloud contracts and advising on M&A integrations, Jim saw firsthand how easily value leaks away without disciplined vendor management and FinOps practices. CASt exists to change that—bringing transparency, accountability, and measurable savings to every technology dollar you spend.

Our Guiding Principles

  • Foundational Vision

    Real‑time visibility into vendor performance and spend, so you can make data‑driven decisions.

  • Integrated M&A Expertise

    Deep experience across the M&A lifecycle to support due diligence, integration, and post‑merger optimization.

  • Strategic Partnership

    We work side‑by‑side with CFOs, CIOs and CPOs—only succeeding when you save money.

  • Bridging Strategy to Value

    Align executive strategy with technical architecture to modernize systems and prepare for AI‑driven operations.

Experience & Impact

Over the past decade, Jim and the CASt team have negotiated hundreds of technology contracts and delivered $20+M in savings across private equity portfolios and global enterprises. Our clients typically see a 20–40% reduction in software and cloud spend within the first year, with savings realized in as little as 30–90 days.

We’ve supported technology due diligence on dozens of acquisitions, driving EBITDA uplift and smoother post‑merger integrations.
