Strong relationships, and genuine appreciation for the partners who help us succeed, have always been at the heart of Origina’s service. They form the foundation of our customer-centric approach and drive the value we deliver every day. For us, partnerships go beyond business transactions. They are built on trust, collaboration, and a shared commitment to customer success.
In that spirit of appreciation, Origina is proud to recognize SoftwareOne as our Global Partner of the Year for 2025. This marks their second consecutive win, highlighting both the consistency and impact of this enduring partnership.
The award was presented during Origina Week 2025, our annual company-wide event. Richard Spithoven, SoftwareOne’s EMEA Lead for Publisher Advisory Services, accepted the honor during the celebration, a moment that underscored the importance of partnership in our success.
