Look Behind the Magic Quadrant.
Gartner has named Livingstone a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Software Asset Management Managed Services for the sixth year running.
That’s the headline. And we’re proud of it.
But if you’re choosing a partner to help manage millions in software investment, we’d encourage you to do something else too.
We believe a position on a quadrant is one part of the picture. What’s more interesting is understanding what sits behind it: the people, technology, operating model and philosophy that determine how a provider delivers for its customers. And in a SAM managed services market that continues to evolve, it’s worth looking carefully at exactly who and what you’re choosing
