About 1E

Empowering Efficient IT

Globally over the past five years $8 trillion has been spent on IT, which is more than half the annual US GDP. Maintaining this huge amount of IT accounts for 70-80 percent of each year’s IT budget. CIOs want to reduce this figure to save money or to have more discretionary spend, but lack the tools to do so.
