We've Built It, Not Just Advised On It
Our team has shipped and run the platforms we recommend, from WSO2 API Manager at enterprise scale to production AI systems and growth engines that moved real revenue. We speak from experience, not slideware.
About Corlence
Melbourne-based. Enterprise-grade heritage. Built for the agentic AI era.
Our Story
From Enterprise Integration to Agentic AI
We started Corlence after noticing something simple. The enterprises we'd spent our careers helping, banks, telcos, healthcare providers, government agencies, had spent a decade investing in integration, API management and identity infrastructure. That investment was solid. It just wasn't built for what was coming next.
Our founders started on the same team, building WSO2's API Manager together, the integration platform that still runs inside hundreds of enterprises worldwide. From there our paths split for a while. Sanjeewa went on to lead that engineering organisation as Director of Engineering. Harsha did a PhD in Artificial Intelligence and built an academic research career in generative AI and responsible AI. Madusanka founded Knovik, an applied AI research and growth studio. Years later, we came back together to build the company we felt the market needed.
We founded Corlence in Melbourne to close the gap between those two worlds: the discipline of enterprise integration and the speed of agentic AI. Our clients shouldn't have to choose between a system that's reliable and one that's intelligent. We work as operators, not just advisors. We've built and run the platforms we now help others adopt.

How We Work
Principles That Shape Every Engagement
Outcomes Over Hours
We measure success in shipped systems and business results, not billable hours. Engagements are scoped around a clear outcome, with a delivery plan you can hold us to.
Transparent, No Black Boxes
You get direct access to the engineers and architects doing the work, not a layer of account managers relaying information.
Small Team, Senior by Default
Every engagement is led by a founder-level architect or engineer. No graduate hand-offs, no bait-and-switch between the sales pitch and the delivery team.
