See the bigger picture, strategize better

To take control, you first need to step back and take stock. And that means gaining a clearer understanding of your Effective License Position (ELP) and where you might be overspending or under-licensed.

The Livingstone Acuity demystifies the process by supplementing your data with manual declarations and entitlement information for specific vendors, so you can identify compliance risks in a flash and avoid potential reputational damage.

Manage costs with confidence and control

Your software, cloud, and AI assets are your top assets. We make sure it stays that way. As cost management grows more complex with ever-evolving tech stacks and vendor contacts, we’ll help you keep spend under control during audits, renewals, and negotiations.

And that’s not all: we’ll monitor your subscription-based services to keep your cloud costs and forecasting optimized at every stage.

Protect your business from unnecessary risk

From security vulnerabilities to licensing issues, cloud and software are often a minefield for IT leaders. Risks always come with the territory, but Livingstone helps make them appear far less often.

We’ll identify risks as they arise and work with you to build a detailed action plan to prevent them in the future, so costly fines, time-consuming audits, and reputational damage become a thing of the past.

Get quick answers to pressing questions

You no doubt cycle through the same questions like a broken record: who’s using what, which version, for how long, and what do we need to meet future demand?

Livingstone Acuity gives you the answers quickly. It tracks software usage, consolidates your contract and license entitlement data, and lets IT teams manage projects, products, and reports from a single source of truth.

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.
