Origina’s Feasibility Assessment will give you better clarity on your IBM licences and associated renewal. We will show what IBM paperwork is relevant and what is not so you have a full understanding of what you are paying for. Once we agree on a unit cost for each licence you migrate to us we commit to reducing this by 7.5% for each subsequent year you have the licenses under our support.
Origina’s Feasibility Assessment will take into account historical pricing you have received from IBM but also, based on information we have from 1000’s of global IBM software clients, what are you likely to pay in the future. Our IBM Support & Maintenance service will also give you this visibility with our 7.5% p.a. annual price reduction.
Origina’s Licence Intelligence team can help you here. We have IBM licence and Passport Advantage experts as part of our team. Talk to us and let us help you navigate your IBM contracts to avoid unnecessary renewal costs.
This is where Origina really help IBM software licensees.

Origina will ensure you have a full understanding of what IBM paperwork is relevant to your decision and what is not.

Audits are scary. Do you know all your obligations to IBM as a user of their software? Origina clients have access to some of the world’s best IBM software licensing experts. Our Licence Intelligence team will be there to hold your hand and we have access to some of the best independent audit defence experts if they are needed.
At Origina we believe the only reason you should renew is because you want to - NOT because you have no choice.
