Paris, France Origina Temps plein

**Origina - the story so far**
As SaaS and Cloud based software solutions become the only show in town, the original software market, perpetually licensed on-premise software, is undergoing a radical transformational change. This change has opened a whole new sub industry targeting the support and maintenance fees mega-vendor publishers charge for the on-premise software - Third Party Software Maintenance (TPSM). Origina was founded with a vision to disrupt and open up a market that plays on confusion, contractual/licensing complexity and crude attempts at customer lock-in.

Origina won its first customer in 2015, and now is the leading global independent provider of IBM software support and third-party maintenance, pairing affordable pricing with quality support, supporting over 100 of the world’s largest companies - with many being Fortune 500
