IT Roadmap Decisions, Meet the “Right to Repair” Movement

If you’re like other IT executives, you may be experiencing challenges when it comes to focusing your budget decisions on the initiatives that move your organization towards digital transformation — on a timeframe that makes a difference. Getting stuck with bloated repair and maintenance costs from your software vendor adds to the frustration, putting their decisions around necessary support and software upgrades ahead of what’s best for your IT roadmap needs.

Current OEM policies and support models are designed to benefit the vendors and typically pose major roadblocks to innovation benefiting your timeline. Organizations are spending most of their budget, resources, and time on “keep the lights on” maintenance instead of strategic initiatives that drive competitiveness and growth. The “Right to Repair” movement changes that paradigm, putting CIOs and their teams back in the driver’s seat when it comes to decisions about their legacy IT estate.

Watch Origina’s recent “Right to Repair” on demand webinar, and hear from antitrust and consumer protection expert, Ryan P. Phair, Partner at Hunton Andrews Kurth. Ryan is known for being part of the representation of AOL Time Warner and Netscape in the private antitrust litigation arising out of the “browser wars” that were the subject of U.S. v. Microsoft Corp., which resulted in a settlement worth over $750 million for his clients.

Ryan joins Origina SVP Hari Candadai to cover:

• The impact on choice created by aftermarket restrictions imposed by major hardware and software vendors
• Promising environmental and economic benefits that can be achieved through Right to Repair legislation
• How the Right to Repair creates a circular and growing economy, making a significant difference in your IT roadmap decisions
