大多数企业的软件系统都遵循供应商设定的时间表运行。支持终止日期、许可模式的变更以及不必要的升级均按供应商的安排进行，而IT团队则不得不全盘接受：那些未列入预算的迁移工作、打乱业务需求进度的平台重构，甚至是实质上等同于产品路线图的补丁更新周期。作为一家独立的软件维护与支持服务提供商，Origina用数据揭示了这种压力的程度。
Most enterprise software estates run to somebody else’s calendar. End-of-support dates, license model changes and needless upgrades arrive on the vendor’s schedule, and the IT team absorbs them: the migration nobody budgeted for, the re-platforming that displaces a project the business actually asked for, the patch cadence that is really a product roadmap in disguise. Origina, an independent provider of software maintenance and support, puts figures on the pressure.
一般而言，高达90%的IT预算都用于维持现有系统的正常运转，仅剩下10%可用于新项目的开发。据其预测，到2027年企业软件相关成本预计将上涨40%，而这一增长主要由供应商推动，而非客户需求所致。Origina主张的解决方案并非被动等待，而是由企业自身决定何时进行何种变更。一个稳定、合规且能正常运作的系统，并无必要因供应商设定的期限而强制升级；它只需得到妥善维护与安全保障，并始终与业务需求保持同步，直至企业自身产生变更需求——这种需求可能源于企业并购、运营模式调整或核心能力的实质性提升，而绝非仅仅因为支持期限临近。
As a rule of thumb, up to 90 percent of IT budgets go on “keeping the lights on”, leaving only 10 percent for anything new. Enterprise software costs, it says, are on course to rise 40 percent by 2027, and most of that increase is driven by vendors rather than by customers. The alternative it argues for is not standing still. It is to decide, on the business’ terms, what changes and when. A system that is stable, compliant and doing its job does not need upgrading because of a vendor-driven deadline. It needs to be supported, secured and kept in step with the business until the business has a reason to move. That reason might be a merger, a new operating model or a real step change in capability.
因此，从一开始就将灵活性纳入长期规划，远比事后高价购买相关服务更为明智。在企业的核心软件系统中，这种理念具体体现为：VMware的永久许可证在仍有使用价值的情况下可继续获得支持，而无需被迫按照供应商的时间表转为订阅制服务；SAP系统也能在标准支持期限之外继续运行，其现代化升级计划则会在符合业务需求时才予以实施。
It should not be a support deadline. That is the case for building flexibility into long-term planning from the start, rather than buying it back later at a premium. On the estate’s biggest lines, this is how it looks. Perpetual VMware licenses stay supported for as long as they are useful, instead of moving to a subscription bundle on someone else’s timetable. SAP environments run beyond standard support windows, and modernization programs are planned properly and executed when it makes business sense.
此外，企业整体系统仅针对那些真正会被利用的漏洞进行防护，而非对数以万计仅被公开披露的漏洞进行无谓防范。2025年，全球共公布了超过48,000个漏洞信息，但其中仅有约1%真正被用于攻击。
Plus, the whole estate is protected against the vulnerabilities that are actually exploited, not the tens of thousands that are merely disclosed. In 2025, 48,000-plus vulnerabilities were published, but only around one percent of these were ever used in an attack.
Origina的OPTAS服务能够主动识别、排序并解决潜在问题，防止其演变成实际故障。除了预算限制外，大多数IT负责人最先面临的制约因素便是人力资源。精通长期运行的SAP系统或庞大VMware架构的工程师本就稀缺，而任何不必要的迁移都会占用他们的时间，让他们忙于处理企业并无实际需求的工作。借助第三方独立技术支持，您便能释放这些资源，转而投入到创新与业务增长中。
Origina’s OPTAS service proactively identifies, prioritizes and addresses issues before they become a problem. Beyond the budget, one of the constraints most IT leaders feel first is people. The engineers who understand a long-lived SAP estate or a sprawling VMware footprint are scarce, and every unnecessary migration keeps them tied up with work the business never asked for. Independent support helps you to free up resources you can invest in innovation and growth.
