Forge was established in 1995 and has grown to be a group of companies under the umbrella of Forge Holdings.

Forge is a successful, modern, open-standards software development and consulting organisation, specialising in distributed systems (Enterprise Service Management), large-scale data management and security. Forge delivers solutions to specific business problems for major Australian and International clients. Our experienced team can assist customers with the initial project conception and design.

We have worked with multiple hardware vendors in the design of functional interfaces to remote devices. We provide gateways for standard and proprietary device protocols over multiple network access mechanisms. We have extensive experience in Operational Support Systems (OSS), Network Element Management (NEM), global sensor networks and delivery of intra/internet services using our distributed systems infrastructure. We have considerable experience implementing traditional IT (eg: EIS, OLAP, data warehouses) through our consulting and products divisions. Our development principles and processes are the foundation for building systems that not only satisfy current customer requirements but also ensure the realisation of long-term vision.

Forge's development team is well recognised in the commercial market place and in Australia's leading academic circles. The team has a proven history of evaluating technologies as they evolve and mature and is well positioned to identify risks involved in new systems. Forge can be relied on to make practical recommendations best suited to your current environment and your desired outcomes.

Forge has a history of working on large-scale research and development projects in association with such companies as IBM and Telstra as well as developing core Forge intellectual property. Our client base spans Federal, State and Local Government and a variety of industries including Telecommunications, Banking and Insurance, Legal and Property Management. The nature of the work undertaken has ranged from pure consulting to providing complete solutions from architecture specifications to design of specific products and the implementation of solutions.
