Responding to your brief — June 2026

Your Data Has
Been Speaking.
It's Time to Listen.

RelateCare manages 30+ weekly client calls, processes ~12,000 interactions daily, and operates across three jurisdictions — yet most of that intelligence is locked in Genesys, inaccessible for reporting, analysis, or AI. We're here to change that — permanently, without locking you in.

We Heard You

Three problems.
One platform
to solve them all.

Tim's brief was clear and candid. We've built this proposal around exactly what was said — not what was convenient to scope.

The Visibility Gap

Genesys data isn't accessible in a usable, governed format. Operational decisions are being made blind, or through slow manual exports.

The Reporting Burden

30+ weekly client presentations prepared by operational teams, not dedicated reporting staff. This is a scaling problem that AI can solve — but only with the right data foundation underneath.

The Trust Gap

"In the past they had an expectation gap — it took longer than they hoped." We've built this proposal to be fixed-price, milestone-bound, and independently accountable.

"

The immediate MVP is focused on proving that we can take Genesys call summary data and call centre statistical information, extract it reliably, and make it available in a usable format for analysis... We are not looking for a lengthy discovery engagement before any build work begins.

— Tim O'Byrne, RelateCare
"

They don't want to be dependent on the partner, they want to ensure they are not locked in. Clear view of the data in a clear format that can be accessed by the business.

Future-Ready by Design

The architecture is designed for Phase 2+ from day one. Azure OpenAI, Event Hub, and Stream Analytics slots are held in the design but excluded from POC scope — so there's no rework when you're ready to activate AI and real-time streaming.

Why Skywalk + Kinetic Skunk

We've built
at this scale.
In regulated environments.

We're not proposing to figure this out on your time. We've already built data platforms processing billions of records in regulated, high-stakes environments. Here's the proof.

Big Data / AWS / Data Engineering
Vodacom — MAC Platform
5 billion records per day. 64.7TB. Zero tolerance for failure.
Skywalk built MAC (Managed Analytics Cloud) for Altron/Vodacom — a serverless AWS data platform ingesting 21 data streams simultaneously. The parallels to RelateCare's multi-source, high-volume, cost-sensitive requirements are direct. MAC reduced URL abuse on 134 million MSISDNs to zero through near-real-time reporting.
5B
Records / day
64.7TB
Data ingested
21
Data streams
Healthcare / Compliance / Data Privacy
Altron HealthTech + FitVault
Healthcare data is not like other data. We know.
Our work with Altron HealthTech and the FitVault health data SDK gave us direct exposure to the sensitivity, regulatory constraints, and operational patterns of healthcare data — including PII/PHI handling, audit trails, and the trust dynamics between patients, providers, and technology partners. This matters enormously for HIPAA compliance on RelateCare's data.
HIPAA
Framework experience
PHI
Scrubbing & governance
Global / Multi-Jurisdiction / Compliance
PangeoData — InfoMart (USA)
Cross-border data compliance is our native environment.
For InfoMart, a US-based global background screening leader, we built a multi-region platform handling compliance, data privacy regulations, risk mitigation, and financial consequences across jurisdictions. RelateCare's Ireland / US / UK data residency requirement is familiar territory — not a new challenge for us.
