"The biggest barrier in global benefits has always been the lack of a single source of truth. It is a problem we have been trying to solve for fifteen years, and it simply was not possible without AI. That is the unlock that makes it possible to digitise one of the most inefficient areas of enterprise spend. Benefits data is complex, scattered, inconsistent, and constantly changing, exactly the kind of problem AI can solve. Origin creates the first trusted source of truth for benefits information, giving organisations visibility into their total global spend for the first time, so they can optimise it, run benefits operations far more efficiently, and deliver a better experience to employees everywhere."
