Stronger foundations for an AI-first world

CBTS Forge AI is our end-to-end framework for helping organizations cut through the noise and build the strategy, data foundation, and infrastructure they need to make AI work. 

Lorem Ipsum

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.

Our History

Creating strong foundations for 30+ years

CBTS was founded in 1994 as a technology arm of Cincinnati Bell. Our early focus on communications infrastructure gave us more than a decade’s head start in managing complex, enterprise-scale networks. Over the years, we expanded our capabilities, deepened our technical bench, and grew our reach. The acquisition of OnX extended our footprint into Canada. Investments in software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN) and network as a service (NaaS) put us at the front edge of infrastructure modernization.

Today, a growing practice in AI, cloud, and application development reflects where we’ve been headed all along — helping organizations build technology foundations that are ready for whatever comes next.
