Enterprise foundation
It fits your architecture, not the other way round.
Forge is the process layer over the systems you already run. SAP, Microsoft 365 and your DMS stay the source of truth.
It replaces nothing. It connects everything.
Forge talks both ways with the systems, directories and infrastructure you already run.
- SAP SOAP plug-in
- Microsoft 365 SharePoint
- IBM FileNet DMS
- Active Directory LDAP
- SSO Kerberos, OAuth 2.0
- REST / OData two-way API
- Webhooks and messaging
- E-mail and SMS gateways
Integration
A two-way REST/OData API, webhooks and calls straight from forms. Connectors for Microsoft 365 and SharePoint, IBM FileNet, SAP (SOAP plug-in) and the file system; documents land in your DMS with their metadata.
Identity and security
Your organisational structure from AD/LDAP, single sign-on through Kerberos or OAuth 2.0, access and data visibility by role, and one central audit log.
Architecture and operations
Microservices in containers: on-premises on OpenShift or Kubernetes, in Azure AKS or hybrid, tied to no hyperscaler. High availability, horizontal scaling, delivery as Helm charts, and a public API with a catalogue of use cases and a live Swagger UI.
We go through performance data and the architecture in detail in a technical workshop with an ADF architect.

Moving to another platform takes a transformation, because every platform has its own specifics, and the workflow logic has to be remodelled. The data stays yours: the databases, organisational structure, documents and DOCX/XLSX templates export with standard tools.
