Getting the best deal is our whole deal
When it comes to contract negotiations, you know the drill: they’re often long, complex, and hinge on getting them right to avoid unexpected renewal costs or misaligned contracts. You’re not alone.
At Livingstone, it’s our mission to help you land the best possible deal so you can maximize your software and cloud investments. Our team of experts helps organizations save an average of 38% at renewal by giving them the tools they need to negotiate with confidence.
Mega Vendor Renewals Make your contracts fit for the long haul
Use our Software Vendor Renewal solution to enter contract negotiations knowing exactly what you need and when. Through a detailed Bill of Materials, we’ll track your consumption to help you forecast investment and future-proof your contracts. Throughout everything, our experts will be by your side to support you with Best and Final Offer (BAFO) reviews, commercial benchmarks, and negotiation strategies.
Vendor Expertise Expert support, every step of the way
When every mega vendor is different, getting to grips with each isn’t easy. And for procurement teams looking to build out resources with enough experience to handle multiple renewals, it’s downright daunting. Luckily, Livingstone has worked with Fortune 500 global clients and government organizations, so we know what it takes to secure the best possible deal, no matter the vendor.
Livingstone Acuity Clearer data, wiser decisions
Acuity is the ace up your sleeve that’ll boost your negotiating power. By storing, standardizing, and cataloging utilization data, you can tap into a single source of truth that clearly shows current usage and projected future demand. Use it in negotiations to ensure you’re paying only for what you need, not what you don’t.
Audit Defense Come out on top of your next audit
Audits are risky business. Unexpected fines, true-up costs, and back payments can create unbudgeted spend. But Livingstone can help you turn any audit into an opportunity with our Software Audit Management solution. We’ll reconcile your inventory, entitlement, and contract information to give you better visibility into your license risk and where you can cut costs and optimize your software investments.
