SoftwareOne milestones

SoftwareOne (originally Softwarepipeline) was started in 2000 by two Swiss entrepreneurs helping organisations buy and manage their software licenses. Since those humble beginnings, the company has grown to over 9,250 employees in 60 countries offering end-to-end software and cloud solutions.

While the company and its portfolio of services has grown, the same entrepreneurial spirit lives on. The seven core values that our late founder Patrick Winter created are brought to life daily by SoftwareOne employees.

Known affectionately for his colourful trousers and vibrant personality, Patrick Winter was an entrepreneur and philanthropist who believed in empowering people. His commitment to helping customers lay the foundations of the company SoftwareOne is today.
