CDG Announces Strategic Partnership with KealyWalker to Simplify Tax and Regulatory Compliance

Champaign, IL – September 10, 2026 – Communications Data Group (CDG) is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with KealyWalker, providing communications service providers using the Elements platform with access to specialized telecom tax and regulatory compliance services designed to simplify compliance obligations and reduce operational risk. The integration combines CDG’s OSS/BSS technology and service capabilities with KealyWalker’s expertise in tax compliance, regulatory guidance, and reporting to help providers manage increasingly complex regulatory requirements more efficiently.

As communications providers face increasing regulatory obligations across federal, state, and local jurisdictions, compliance requirements have become more complex and resource intensive. From communications tax filings and Universal Service Fund reporting to FCC registrations and state certifications, operators must manage a growing number of requirements while maintaining focus on growth, customer experience, and operational performance.

“Our partnership with KealyWalker represents CDG’s continued investment in building a robust ecosystem of technology and service partners that help our clients streamline operations, strengthen compliance, and navigate an increasingly complex regulatory environment,” commented Mike Chalk, Vice President of Product Development at CDG. “Together, we are providing communications providers with access to trusted expertise that helps reduce compliance burdens while allowing them to remain focused on serving their customers and growing their business.”

The integration enables clients to access tax and regulatory services through a more connected experience, helping reduce administrative burden while supporting compliance with local, state, and federal requirements. Organizations will benefit from streamlined data management, improved reporting capabilities, and access to specialized expertise to address changing regulatory landscapes.

“Partnering with CDG allows us to extend the reach of our tax and regulatory expertise while helping clients achieve stronger compliance outcomes,” noted Michael Yokay, President of KealyWalker. “KealyWalker was created to challenge the status quo, and together we are providing communications providers with the tools, guidance, and insights they need to confidently meet their regulatory obligations and support long-term growth.”
