Rethinking IT Spend in Financial Services​​

CIO efforts to innovate and support business growth are hampered by the time and costs spent updating systems that are already fit-for-purpose. These applications are typically core systems that support mission-critical workloads but do not need to be updated. A typical IT budget is allocating 50% for run, 40% for change of existing systems, and 10% for transformation and innovation initiatives.

Forward-thinking CIOs are challenging the requirement to unnecessarily upgrade and patch systems. They are looking to extend the life of IT assets by sourcing maintenance, security, and compliance from independent providers like Origina. This enables them to take the costs and resources from extended support and upgrades and invest them into innovations that support business growth.

Reclaim Your IT Budget for Innovation

Today’s OEM model is designed to drain your budget and lock you into costly, unnecessary cycles. Origina offers a smarter, leaner alternative that frees up resources for innovation.

The OEM Trap: Wasteful Upgrades

OEMs push constant upgrades that add risk without adding value:
  • Up to 40% of your IT budget is spent on upgrades instead of innovation
  • Engineering teams are stuck managing patches and updates that don’t move the business forward
  • New fix packs increase support tickets by 30%, introducing instability
  • Unnecessary version changes trigger compliance rework

The OEM Trap: Hidden Costs

Beneath the surface, OEM support comes with layers of expense:
  • Extended support fees are stacked on top of high maintenance costs
  • New software forces premature hardware refreshes—even when existing systems still work
  • Implementation, testing, and remediation eat up internal resources
  • You’re paying for entitlements you don’t use

The Origina Way:
Smart Support That Frees Budget

Origina breaks the upgrade cycle and delivers high-impact, cost-efficient support:

  • 24/7/365 access to designated global experts who know your environment
  • Fast response times with performance-based incentives
  • Security that goes beyond patches: hardening guides, threat intelligence, configuration optimization, and engineering expertise
  • Experts in license, contract, and regulatory compliance
  • Performance optimization to extend asset life and reduce upgrade pressure
