Origina Announces Empower 2025 — Innovating Without Boundaries 

DUBLIN — May 2, 2025 — Origina announces its 2025 flagship virtual event, Empower 2025: Innovating Without Boundaries, on Wednesday, June 18, at 14:00 UTC/10:00 AM EDT and at 9:00 AEST on June 19 in Australia.  

Traditional IT strategies, rigid vendor agreements, and accumulated technical debt are holding businesses back from reaching their full potential. The key to true innovation lies in breaking free from these constraints and adopting enterprise software management that embraces flexibility, cost-efficiency, and sustainable growth. 

Five fast-paced sessions will equip IT and business leaders with the insights, tools, and strategies to think bigger, move faster, and lead with confidence. 

Topics will include: 

Session 1 | Owning the Future: How Leaders Reframe Technical Debt 

Technical debt is no longer just an operational concern. It’s a barrier to growth, innovation, and strategic control. This session dives into how forward-thinking leaders recognize technical debt as a business-wide challenge and use that insight to unlock smarter decision-making, stronger alignment, and a more resilient IT roadmap. 

Session 2 | Closing the Gaps: A Smarter Approach to IT Security 

Vendor security isn’t a guarantee. Many enterprise applications leave organizations vulnerable despite costly support contracts. This discussion will challenge conventional security assumptions and introduce a proactive, independent approach to safeguarding critical systems. 

Session 3 | The Compliance Trap: Avoiding Self-Imposed Limits 

Regulatory compliance is a must, but many organizations unknowingly impose self-restricting policies that go far beyond what regulations require. Explore how enterprises can challenge outdated internal policies, align compliance with actual business needs, and break free from the cycle of fear-driven decision-making without increasing risk. 

Session 4 | Sustainable IT: More Than Just Green Tech 

Smart IT decisions drive sustainability and resilience. Beyond energy efficiency, extending the lifespan of software and hardware is key to reducing waste, cutting costs, and avoiding vendor-imposed obsolescence, which can support long-term business value and sustainability goals. 

Session 5 |Accelerating Digital Transformation on Your Terms 

OEM strategies can slow innovation. This session will discuss how enterprises can break free from ineffective evergreen strategies and embrace flexible, forward-thinking IT models that drive agility, scalability, and transformation — without vendor constraints.
