We empower SAM Managers to do their best work

Software Asset Management is rarely straightforward. Disparate data and multiple stakeholders across licenses, versions, and contract terms can put pressure on SAM Managers who want the best for their organization. 

With intelligent dashboards and reports, Livingstone provides a clearer view of your entitlement and usage data, so SAM Managers can pinpoint compliance risks before they become real. Empower your SAM people, processes, and provisioning to stay compliant, cut costs, and get the most out of your software estate.

Turn usable data into actionable insights

Livingstone Acuity gives SAM Managers a clear, trusted view of their organization’s software estate. By bringing software, licensing, contracts, usage, and commercial data together in one place, Acuity uses AI to turn complex information into actionable insights. With accurate, normalized data at their fingertips, SAM teams can identify optimization opportunities, manage compliance and audit risk, support renewals, and make better-informed decisions about software investments. Acuity combines powerful technology with Livingstone’s software asset management expertise, helping organizations move beyond simply tracking assets to proactively managing cost, risk, and value across their software portfolio.

No more nasty surprises

A clearer picture of your license position means you’re less likely to get caught out by overspend, unexpected costs, or compliance issues.

By supplementing your existing data with entitlement information for specific major vendors, we’ll make sure you know exactly what you need and where you stand.

Spot risk before it becomes reality

SAM is risky business. Multiple licenses, ever-changing workforces and many different contracts mean threats to your business are rarely far away.

Livingstone’s team of experts help you pinpoint them in the present and avoid them in the future. We’ll work with you to build a detailed plan of action that will arm you with everything you need to shrink risk and secure your organization’s ongoing success.

Building on SAM to turn software management into strategic business value

Software Investment Management builds on Software Asset Management (SAM) to help organizations maximize the value of their software investments. While SAM provides the visibility, governance, and license management needed to control the software estate, SIM takes a broader, more strategic view by connecting software usage, contracts, costs, and business priorities. This enables organizations to move beyond compliance and asset management to actively optimize spend, strengthen supplier negotiations, improve forecasting, and make better investment decisions. By combining robust SAM practices with commercial insight, Software Investment Management helps organizations manage software as a strategic investment, balancing cost, risk, and value across the portfolio.

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.
