Origina, the world’s leading independent software partner, is deepening its presence in Ireland as it scales globally to serve enterprise customers across Europe, North America and beyond.

RSAC 2026 highlighted a shift toward outcome-driven security, increased scrutiny of AI, and rising complexity across IT environments. Organizations are now under pressure to manage that complexity without losing control.

Digital modernization is a vital part of your business building for the future, but doing so without the proper scaffolding in place will lead to problems. Origina believes that the best approach is to build on the foundations that your business already has in place.

Don’t look at Z mainframes as just technical debt. Optimizing these workhorse systems can result in better software support and extended value.

True digital sovereignty needs more than just data residency discussions or local data centres. Digital sovereignty is about control, capability, and the genuine independence to maintain and support your own stack in all dignity, without asking someone else for permission.

Since Origina took on the challenge of changing the way the industry saw VMware software, our offering has gone from strength to strength. Now a market-leading VMware support provider, we wanted to share some of the amazing learnings we’ve seen along our journey.

Alongside a sudden rise in costs, a travel tech leader was facing a longer-term contract than they needed, potentially derailing their cloud transition plans. Their aim was to remain supported on their current VMware systems in the short-term and also to reduce costs related to VMware Software & Support. As such, they were forced to consider their options within the VMware market. 

Origina’s Ben Lipczynski recently appeared on the cybercrime podcast the CISO Signal to discuss the 2020 Accellion data breach. He discussed cybersecurity vulnerabilities, damage limitation, and effective recovery plans.

Carefully curated budgets, long standing reputations and hard-earned trust can all unravel quickly when your software support does not align with goals and operational needs. The pressure associated with the public sector can often lead to departments rushing into needless vendor-driven changes, however, maintaining your existing IT environment can often be the key to avoiding issues and unlocking innovation.
