Updraft : Introduction

Origin Systems is a legal and software consultancy providing niche compliance, contract drafting and risk management solutions to many of South Africa's largest companies. Our services support approximately 150,000 businesses and more than 1.75 million individuals. Larger corporate clients include Sappi, Old Mutual Insure, Pioneer Foods, Massmart, Santam, Multichoice, Distell and Hollard.

Built by lawyers, for lawyers, Human Resource and Procurement professionals the UpDraft system solves the unique compliance, risk management and drafting challenges faced by these professionals. Key elements include a 90% reduction in drafting time; document management; advanced reporting; data security, and reminders of upcoming contract expiries, escalation clause anniversaries and condition precedent deadlines.

Uniquely, we recognise that in-house lawyers and procurement professionals simply don't have time to implement software solutions. Our legal team therefore handles the end-to-end implementation of the solutions - tailored to the specific contract precedents, circumstances and challenges of the client.
