Origina Names SoftwareOne Global Partner of the Year

Origina is fortunate to partner with many excellent organizations who share the same values of offering an innovative customer-centric approach to maintaining IBM, HCL, and VMware software applications.

This year, we have chosen SoftwareOne as our Global Partner of the Year.

“In SoftwareOne, we have found a partner who puts the customer at the heart of what they do,” says Origina Chief Operating Officer Shannon Mahaffey. “Their deep licensing expertise and strong understanding of customers’ future IT roadmaps helps them to optimize their IT estates, which aligns perfectly with Origina’s value proposition.”

Origina’s collaboration with SoftwareOne began in 2020. Since then, it has expanded to more than 10 countries, including Australia, Italy, France, Switzerland, Spain, Malaysia, and the Nordics. Together, Origina and SoftwareOne have built a partnership that tackles crucial maintenance support challenges while also delivering outstanding customer outcomes.

“It’s evident that SoftwareOne customers have a high regard for them,” says Mick Daly, an Origina Channel Sales Manager. “Having a partner like SoftwareOne has been transformative to our organization. It is my hope that we can expand into new and exciting markets together.”

Origina’s Partner Program, Empower, offers IBM, HCL, and VMware customers exceptional independent software maintenance and support that extends, protects, and enhances their software applications while also adding unique value-adds including proactive, multilayered cybersecurity defense and software licensing guidance, optimization, and audit defense.

“We are delighted to be named Global Partner of the Year by Origina. Our partnership is built on a shared vision of helping IT leaders unlock the full potential of their technology, optimizing what they have to pave the way for innovation,” says Una Keeshan, Federation Leader, UKIZA. “By combining our strengths, we’ve forged a collaboration that not only solves today’s maintenance and support challenges but also prepares our customers for tomorrow’s opportunities.”
