The history and team behind FormKiQ's Flexible Document and Enterprise Content Management Platform

FormKiQ Logo

At FormKiQ, our goal is to provide efficient, flexible, and scalable document management solutions for any software application.

Based in Winnipeg, Canada, FormKiQ was founded by Mike Friesen and Regan Wolfrom.

Originally conceived in 2016 as an iPhone app to process multi-step forms for the leasing industry, FormKiQ quickly evolved as Mike recognized the value of cloud-native AWS functionality for document management. This led to the platform's shift toward managing documents through collection, storage, processing, and integration. Together with his co-founder, Regan, Mike pivoted FormKiQ to focus on document management solutions.

In 2020, FormKiQ launched FormKiQ Core as an open-source project, offering businesses a powerful, cloud-native document management solution that integrates seamlessly across industries and use cases. Today, FormKiQ Core is used worldwide, serving industries such as criminal justice, financial services, and software consulting.

As customer needs grew, FormKiQ expanded with Pro and Enterprise versions, offering advanced configuration, functionality, and commercial support. These solutions empower organizations to meet their enterprise content management, business process management, and workflow automation needs.

By 2024, FormKiQ provides a fully customizable document platform deployed directly into customer infrastructure, offering API-first designs, turnkey systems, and AWS-powered scalability. We continue to push boundaries with innovations in AI, compliance, security, and hyperscale technology.
