Who we are
Shared DNA. Seventy years in tech. One philosophy: whatever it takes.
ManaForce was founded by brothers Kevin and John Reilly after decades of watching the same enterprise software pattern play out: clients buy expensive platforms, partners over-promise on transformation, and the gap between the slide deck and the operational reality keeps widening. The thing the brochures never say is that most enterprises don't have a platform problem — they have a delivery problem.
Kevin joined a fledgling, bootstrapped ServiceNow partner in 2017 and spent the next six years building it from a startup doing just over $1M in sales into a partner business doing more than $100M. He did it through a combination of personal production at the F-100 enterprise level and scaling the sales team alongside him. Six years of compounding growth taught him exactly what makes a partner relationship work and what makes one fail — the patterns that separate a partner clients keep from one they replace.
John spent thirty-plus years running sales, marketing, and general business management at the executive level — including leading F500 divisions with $500 million in revenue and full P&L ownership. The work was driving profitable growth in some of the most competitive businesses in technology, repeatedly, across multiple firms and structures. He'd seen the consultancy model from every angle: the global SI, the boutique firm, the bench-and-billable trap. He'd watched too many engagements where the architect who scoped the work was nowhere to be found by the time it shipped.
So when they founded ManaForce, the structure of the firm was the first decision, not an afterthought. No bench. No pyramid staffing. No license-driven consulting. No transformation work designed to manufacture future managed-services revenue.
The premise is straightforward: an architect-led specialist firm, focused on two platforms — ServiceNow and Zscaler — with the depth to operationalize either one alone, and the rare combined expertise to make them work together. Named teams. Phased delivery. Knowledge transfer as a deliverable, not an afterthought.
"Whatever it takes" isn't a marketing line for us. It's the operating principle. We close the gap between what an enterprise platform promises and what it actually delivers — and we don't leave until that gap is closed.
We've spent careers watching enterprises buy platforms that should pay back ten times over and watching them get five percent of what they paid for. ManaForce exists because that gap is closeable — and most of the industry isn't trying to close it.

The partners
Combined 70+ years in enterprise technology.
Kevin Reilly
Partner
In 2017, Kevin joined a fledgling, bootstrapped ServiceNow partner — a startup doing just over $1M in sales. Six years later, that business was doing more than $100M. Kevin did it through personal F-100 enterprise production and by scaling and leading the sales team that grew alongside him. He's a 20× President's Club achiever, but the credential that matters more is the one buyers feel: he treats every engagement as a long-term relationship, not a transaction. He's seen what works at every stage of a partner business, from the first $1M to the hundredth — and he brought that lens to ManaForce.
John Reilly
Partner
John spent thirty-plus years in technology, the most recent four inside the ServiceNow ecosystem. His specialty is running large, complex businesses end-to-end — sales, marketing, and general business management at the executive level — including leading F500 divisions with $500 million in revenue and full P&L ownership. The work consistently meant driving profitable growth in some of the most competitive markets in technology. He's seen what it takes to scale a business honestly, and he's seen the corners that get cut when firms grow the wrong way. He brought that lens to the founding of ManaForce: build the firm you'd want to hire, not the one that's easiest to scale.
