"We couldn't be happier with the amount of cost avoidance achieved. So much so, we'd advocate that other forces who are facing the same challenges as we were, also go through this optimization process, and have passed on Livingstone as a strong recommendation."

Latest from Livingstone

  • Moving from Software Asset Management to Software Investment Management

    Software estates are bigger, more complex, and more dynamic than ever, spanning traditional licensing, SaaS, cloud, AI, decentralized purchasing, and an expanding web of contracts. As a result, the question has shifted from simply “Are we compliant?” to “Are we getting the best possible return from our software investments?” At Livingstone, we believe answering that question requires a fundamental shift from Software Asset Management (SAM) to Software Investment Management (SIM).
