Iteration is a core GitLab value, but we do need structure. We need structure, control, and processes around security, around access. And Lumos makes those tools available and makes those processes logical, clear, and easy to understand - so that we can get out of the way.
Lumos being the de facto software inventory for the entire company, new employees and even existing employees can go and discover apps they need for their roles.
Before Lumos, software costs felt like a leaking tap that we couldn't tighten. Now we have a dynamic license pool that constantly adjusts - tickets are down 20% and we've saved $230,000 in software costs.
