When E78 Partners set out to help clients reduce waste and strengthen IT governance, they need a visibility platform that can deliver accurate, actionable insights — fast.
Partnering with Block 64, E78 gains the ability to uncover inefficiencies hidden across SaaS, cloud, and on-premise environments, translating complex technical data into reports that leadership teams could act on immediately.
The Challenge: Limited Visibility Across Complex Environments
Many of E78’s mid-market clients were facing a familiar set of challenges: rising IT costs, duplicated tools, untracked SaaS subscriptions, and limited visibility into their full technology landscape.
“Technology departments face the challenge of achieving more with fewer resources while ensuring a secure environment and eliminating waste,” says Kevin Lewis, Sr. Managing Director & CISO at E78 Partners.
These organizations often rely on spreadsheets and fragmented tools that make it difficult to monitor licenses, shadow IT, and cloud usage in real time—leaving gaps in cost control and security.
The Solution: Real-Time Audits and Unified Insights
To help clients regain control, E78 Partners implements Block 64’s IT visibility platform, using its real-time assessment capabilities to:
● Identify unused or duplicate software licenses
● Consolidate data from multiple tools into a single, unified view
● Detect missed vulnerabilities and security gaps
● Streamline reporting for both technical teams and executives
