1E is a privately owned IT software and services company based in the United Kingdom. 1E has offices in London, New York, Dublin, and Noida, being headquartered in the former. The company develops software for managing and reducing costs in IT, known as Software Lifecycle Automation.

History

1E was founded in 1997 by three former Microsoft contractors, Sumir Karayi, Phil Wilcock, and Mark Blackburn, who each contributed £500 to start the company. Karayi is now CEO, Blackburn is CIO, whilst Wilcock has left the company. Today the company has more than 26 million licenses deployed worldwide, across 1,700 organizations in 42 countries. Its customers are drawn from public and private sectors across the world and include Dell, Arup, and Ford Motor Company.

The company's name is derived from a computer error. When some Microsoft Windows computers crash, a blue screen containing "STOP 0x0000001E" appears. This name was chosen because the founders had the ambition that 1E could prevent this from happening to big companies.
