An essential part of optimizing an organization’s total cloud cost is the efficient and effective use of legacy software licensing. Livingstone’s services track the deployment and consumption of cloud based licensing within complex IaaS environments. Integrating with the various provider discovery services, our service provides reports on the deployment and usage of software licensing, validating risks as they are discovered.
This service allows a client to validate the use of licensing within cloud environments, ensuring that they meet existing licensing terms and conditions, avoiding compliance risks and highlighting future growth costs. Where the service is providing tracking of on-premises and cloud licensing usage, it also provides information to support the optimized migration between these environments.
