What Forrest Solutions does

Forrest Solutions was a privately held tech-enabled managed services and onsite outsourcing firm, founded in 1976 and described in its own materials as the nation's first and leading onsite outsourcing and staffing firm. The company delivered front, middle, and back-office managed services to enterprise clients in legal, financial, and professional services verticals. Its core technology centered on integrated platforms that combined workflow, process automation, and managed delivery across client operations; the company emphasized integration and interoperability as its principal technical differentiator rather than standalone products.

The firm's business model was managed services revenue contracted with enterprise clients, delivered through an onsite and nearshore/offshore staffing model. Forrest Solutions operated primarily in the United States with domestic headquarters in New York (per firmographic data) and a prior footprint referenced from Chicago, supporting enterprise field-sales motion to law firms, financial services firms, and professional services organizations. The firm reported its own headcount in the 1,001-5,000 range as a standalone entity.

In November 2025, Forrest Solutions was acquired by K2 Services, a portfolio company majority-backed by Renovus Capital Partners. In February 2026, K2 Services combined Forrest Solutions with Epiq Global Business Transformation Solutions to form Opensity Solutions, described as the largest tech-enabled managed services organization for legal, financial, and professional services firms. The combined entity operates with over 4,500 professionals, more than $400 million in combined annual revenue, and 500+ clients across the U.S., Canada, India, and the Philippines. The standalone forrestsolutions.com domain has since expired and is parked with GoDaddy, reflecting Forrest's full integration into the new parent brand.
