Big Business IT Strategy, Built for Small Business Success

At your service with businessman holding a tablet computerWho We Are

Forward Technologies is an IT consulting and digital services firm built specifically for small and medium-sized businesses. Our mission is to bring big-enterprise experience to organizations that deserve better.

Founded by Edward Silha, a seasoned IT professional with decades of experience supporting large organizations—including several Fortune 500 companies—Forward Technologies was created to address a critical gap: small businesses were being overlooked, underserved, or forced to settle for generic solutions. We built this firm specifically to change that.

Why We Exist

Too many small businesses rely on overburdened internal staff or generic service providers who don’t truly understand their environment. We knew there was a better way—one that combines strategic thinking, hands-on expertise, and affordability.

Whether you’re growing fast, stuck with outdated systems, or simply tired of putting out fires, we help you break out of reactive mode and get ahead of your technology.

What Makes Us Different

We don’t just “fix” IT—we lead it. That means we:

  • Think like a CTO, act like a trusted partner
  • Align IT with your business goals
  • Focus on long-term scalability, not short-term patch jobs
  • Understand that small businesses need flexibility, not complexity

What We Bring to the Table

Our capabilities are shaped by real-world experience—spanning infrastructure, application development, cybersecurity, digital marketing, and business consulting. We tailor every solution to your unique needs.

Forward Technologies offers end-to-end services, including:

  • Outsourced IT Support & Systems Management
  • Network Infrastructure Consulting
  • Microsoft Server & Client/Server Support
  • AEO / SEO / SEM Services
  • Web Design & Digital Presence Maintenance
  • Social Media Strategy & Integration
  • IT Auditing & Business Process Reengineering

Where We Work

Headquartered in Chicago, we work nationwide, with clients across industries and time zones, on-site when needed, remote when it makes sense. We scale our services to match your growth, not the other way around.
