Client-owned foundation
Build the data architecture
Connect the systems, govern the definitions, and create a foundation the business can trust.
- Diagnose the constraint
- Build the right foundation
- Operate it or transfer it
How the pieces connect
Data.Applications.Intelligence.
Start with the constraint, not our org chart. Use one layer or all three: a client-owned foundation, bespoke applications, and licensed Relic products with explicit boundaries between them.
Explore each business line
The three layers work together, but each can also stand on its own.
01 · Consulting
Data Architecture & Modernization
A modern, governed data foundation designed around the way your business actually operates.
Built by us, owned by you. The infrastructure, models, definitions, and delivered systems are client-owned. Explore → 02 · Bespoke buildCustom AI & Application Development
Operational software and AI systems built around your workflows, users, and competitive advantage.
Built by us, owned by you. Custom applications and client-specific intellectual property are yours. Explore → 03 · Licensed productsData Products
Relic-owned products for governed company intelligence, flexible business analytics, and proprietary opportunity signals.
Relic products are licensed; each client retains ownership of its data, ontology, taxonomy, semantic layer, context, and organization-specific evaluation corpus. Explore → How we work
One partner across the whole arc.
Start with the constraint that matters most. Relic can build the foundation, ship the workflow, activate a product—or connect all three without forcing every client through the same sequence.
Relic delivery
We ramp up to diagnose, build, and integrate—then taper the service footprint when your team is ready.
Your capability
Your foundation, applications, definitions, and operating knowledge compound and remain yours.
Client-owned applications
Ship the workflow
Turn the highest-value operating problem into software built for your users, controls, and systems.
- Design around the work
- Release into production
- Support it or hand it over
Licensed Relic products
Activate intelligence
Add Relic Agent, Relic BI, or Relic Signal on an existing foundation, alongside a build, or as a managed service.
- Connect the right product
- Configure context and controls
- Evaluate and improve
Built by us, owned by you
Bespoke architecture, applications, and organization-specific context belong to your business.
Products licensed clearly
Relic Agent, Relic BI, and Relic Signal remain Relic products, with clear boundaries around your data and IP.
No fixed consulting exit date
Keep the senior team as long as it is useful, or reduce the service footprint as your capability grows.
Why Relic
One partner from foundation through operating product.
Most alternatives cover one slice of the problem. Relic can connect the architecture, bespoke software, licensed products, and operating model while keeping ownership boundaries explicit.
