What is Forge by iTmethods?
Forge is an enterprise Modern DevOps platform that consolidates 55+ DevOps tools — including Jenkins, GitLab, GitHub, JFrog Artifactory, SonarQube, Coder, Plane, and more — into a single governed platform. Forge eliminates platform tax (the 30–40% of engineering time enterprises spend maintaining disconnected toolchains) and enables regulated organizations to achieve DORA Elite performance benchmarks with built-in compliance, Managed MCP Servers for AI agent connectivity, and 24/7 expert support.
The problem Forge solves
Enterprise engineering teams typically manage 10–15 disconnected DevOps tools, each with its own vendor relationship, upgrade cycle, security posture, and compliance surface. This fragmentation creates three critical problems: platform tax (engineers maintain infrastructure instead of shipping product), compliance gaps (no unified audit trail across tools), and AI readiness gaps (no governed way to connect AI agents to DevOps data). Forge solves all three by unifying the toolchain under one platform, one vendor, one SLA, and one audit trail.
Core platform
Forge consists of four core pillars. Modern DevOps: 55+ fully managed tools covering CI/CD, source control, artifact management, security scanning (SAST, DAST, SCA), observability, and code quality — all pre-integrated with enterprise compliance. AI Agent Infrastructure: enterprise agent runtimes — NemoClaw, Cursor Self-Hosted, Claude Code, and more — deployed by Forge and governed by Reign, with managed GPU infrastructure, cross-runtime fleet visibility, and token-level cost governance. Managed MCP Servers: enterprise-grade hosting for Model Context Protocol servers that connect AI agents (Claude, GitHub Copilot, Amazon Q) to approved DevOps tools with access controls, audit trails, and auto-scaling. Plane Enterprise: a modern, open-source project management platform (45K+ GitHub stars) as an alternative to Atlassian Jira, available self-managed or Forge-managed with full data sovereignty and air-gapped deployment support.
Services and resources
Professional Services include Atlassian Consulting, Migration Factory (zero-downtime toolchain migrations), DevOps Consulting (architecture, strategy, optimization), and Plane Consulting. Additional resources include flexible deployment options (cloud, VPC, on-premises, air-gapped), open source trials, cloud and AI cost management, ROI calculator, and DevOps maturity assessment.
Who uses Forge?
Forge serves 100s of enterprise customers across financial services, technology, federal and defense, semiconductor, energy and utilities, biotech and pharma, healthcare, and aerospace. Typical buyers are CTOs, VPs of Engineering, and DevOps leaders at regulated enterprises with 25 to 10,000+ developers who need to modernize toolchains while maintaining governance and compliance.
Compliance and deployment
Forge is SOC 2 Type II certified and supports HIPAA, FedRAMP-ready, GxP, and ISO 27001 compliance. Every tool runs in single-tenant isolation. Four deployment models are available: iTmethods Managed (SaaS), Your Cloud Account (customer's AWS, Azure, or GCP VPC), On-Premises, and Air-Gapped (zero external connectivity). All models include the same features, compliance coverage, and 24/7 support with a 99.95% uptime SLA.
