Who are We?
Founded in 2014 and based in the beautiful city of Edinburgh, Forrit helps organisations when they need to do more with less; our future-proof CMS provides them with operational efficiency – and cost savings too. We help them reduce third-party software costs and create fast pay-back on their investment.
Our customers are based in some of the most highly regulated industries, so with a host of security and audit features built-in, our cloud-native CMS helps them reduce risk and comply with regulations. Customisable approval processes, clear audit trails and optional roll-back keep them in control and as we’re a Microsoft Partner they can be confident of getting a secure, scalable, and reliable solution. What’s more, working with us lets you leverage your organisation’s committed cloud spend with Microsoft.
