1C Company

1C Company (Russian: Фирма «1С», [ˈfʲirmə ɐˈdʲin ˈɛs]pronunciation) is a Russian software developer, distributor and publisher based in Moscow. It develops, manufactures, licenses, supports and sells computer software, related services and video games.

In Russia, 1C develops and sells the business software suite 1C:Enterprise (Russian: 1С:Предприятие, 1C:Predpriyatie). 1C is also a video game developer and publisher. Titles produced by the company include IL-2 Sturmovik, King's Bounty, Men of War and the Space Rangers series.

1C was founded in 1991 by Boris Nuraliev in Moscow, Russia. In 1992, the company published ''1C:Accounting'' (ru), a bookkeeping software. The simplicity, wealth of customization options and its reach through the wide network of dealers, who were entitled to 50% of the sales income, made it possible for the 1C:Accounting software to become the most widespread accounting program across Russia and former USSR states.

In 1999, the first game developed by 1C was published - Konung: Legends of the North. 1C also acquired MaddoxGames [pl] company. In 2006, 1C announced that their trademark was considered "well-known" by Rospatent as an intellectual property status in Russia.

In 2008, 1C declared its plan of transforming into a large multisectoral holding company. Part of its growth strategy was establishing joint ventures with leading and promising enterprises within the IT industry.

In May 2005, 1C bought Cenega [cs; pl] (an abbreviation of "Central European games"), a Prague- and Warsaw-based publisher and distributor. This arm was rebranded 1C Publishing EU in May 2007. 1C Publishing EU used the trade name 1C Entertainment from late 2018 until June 2022.

In 2008, 1C declared it would become a holding company, stating it would establish joint ventures with companies within the IT industry. In October 2011, Baring Vostok Capital Fund acquired a 9% stake of 1C.

In 2012, 1C partnered with 777 Studios to create 1C Game Studios.
