Technology decisions shape more than individual systems—they influence cost, risk, and long-term impact across the broader ecosystem.
Today’s model is largely linear: upgrade, replace, repeat. It drives unnecessary change, shortens software lifecycles, and creates avoidable waste across enterprise environments.
Shifting to a more sustainable approach requires both systemic change and enterprise action. That means supporting initiatives that expand access and challenge the status quo, while
At Origina, we contribute in two ways: by supporting policy efforts like Free ICT, and by helping enterprises take control of their software lifecycle—reducing unnecessary change and extending the life of the systems they depend on.
This is how we’re working to change the software world.
Free ICT addresses the restrictive practices undertaken by OEMs, ensuring serviceability is included as a key component of the Digital Agenda, promoting common standards for reuse and resale of equipment and software, and achieving contract transparency to protect end users against unfair business practices.
The organization’s European and U.S. arms work together to challenge forced OEM policies and outdated support models to promote an open and sustainable service and maintenance market.
Origina believes in the freedom of choice in the world of software, and in the world of software the freedom of choice is the right to repair. This freedom gives our customers the right to protect the security and stability of software, extend its longevity and lifecycle, and enhance its performance and functionality.
Repairing rather than replacing helps a company free up budget, take control of its IT roadmap and digital transformation initiatives, decreases its overall carbon footprint, and sets it on the path toward a greener tomorrow.
