The changing realities of communication

Business leaders face a complex agenda. Hybrid and remote working models demand secure and flexible tools. Customers expect anytime, any channel engagement. Legacy systems increase cost and risk, while cloud and AI platforms bring both opportunity and regulatory pressure.

Meanwhile, capacity strains from video and collaborative workloads put pressure on networks and employees often lack the right tools to work productively and securely.

The challenge is to modernise collaboration solutions not as tactical fixes, but as long-term enablers of growth, resilience, and digital maturity.

Collaboration that drives business outcomes

SCC helps organisations rethink collaboration to become a source of competitive advantage. We deliver unified communications solutions from leading vendors that enable staff to chat, speak and meet securely and seamlessly across devices, locations, and teams. Our meeting room solutions create hybrid and inclusive meeting environments, while our audio visual solutions, including digital signage, LED video and video walls, make your larger and flagship spaces work harder.

Customer-facing teams are supported with SCC customer contact centre services, providing omnichannel engagement platforms that improve satisfaction, reduce wait times, and unlock data-driven insight.

Our payment models, including “as a Service” options, protect cash flow and accelerate transformation, making advanced collaboration accessible and sustainable.

Streamline your communication landscape. Speak to SCC today for a tailored, outcome-focused collaboration strategy.

Key challenges & SCC solutions in communication & collaboration

Fragmented communication tools

Disconnected platforms, legacy telephony and siloed collaboration apps reduce productivity, limit customer service and drive-up costs. Many organisations still operate multiple overlapping systems rather than a single unified communications and collaboration platform, making governance and long-term planning harder.

SCC solution: Unified communication and collaboration transformation

SCC works with leading platform vendors to deliver a unified communication stack to replace fragmented tools with an integrated, scalable environment. By aligning telephony, and collaboration on to a single platform under one governance model, we help organisations remove duplication, reduce cost, and deliver consistent performance.

  • Unified communications stack: UCaaS, VoIP phone system, Microsoft Teams, RingCentral, Cisco Webex
  • Consistent performance and integrated governance
  • Simplified, future-ready collaboration environment

Hybrid working and employee wellbeing

Hybrid work requires secure, flexible tools that deliver consistent experiences in and out of the office. Without the right digital workplace solutions, employees face poor video quality, limited accessibility, and weak support for wellbeing, all of which hinder productivity and inclusion.

SCC solution: Meetings and spaces

Hybrid work succeeds when tools empower people, not frustrate them. SCC designs, deploys and supports modern, AI enabled meeting environments that combine security, accessibility, inclusivity and just work! This enables employees to stay connected and productive regardless of location, while improving overall wellbeing.

  • Microsoft Teams Rooms, connected workplace platforms and managed endpoints
  • Improved wellbeing and productivity for in-office and remote colleagues
  • Enhanced compliance, accessibility, and flexibility
  • Webex Rooms

Modern customer engagement

Customers now expect rapid, personalised, omnichannel service. Relying on outdated call centre platforms or fragmented CRM systems slows response times and reduces satisfaction. Organisations must modernise with integrated customer response centre solutions and data-driven automation to remain competitive.

SCC Solution: Customer contact centre

SCC designs, delivers and supports omnichannel solutions from leading contact centre vendors that allow customer facing teams to respond consistently across voice, video, chat, and social. By embedding automation and analytics into the contact centre, we help organisations improve responsiveness, reduce cost-to-serve, and enhance customer satisfaction.

  • Omnichannel contact centre solutions, agentic AI, automated workflows, and analytics
  • Faster response times, higher satisfaction, and data-driven decisions
  • Integrated platforms that enhance overall customer engagement

SCC solution: Digital signage

Flagship spaces require impactful, brand-driven communication to enhance visitor engagement and streamline operations, while public sector spaces face unique communication challenges around safety, accessibility, and efficiency, and blue light and utilities need real-time situational information.

  • Video walls provide clear, inclusive, and responsive solutions
  • High-resolution digital signage and digital displays showcase brand identity and messaging, and provide revenue opportunities
  • Digital wayfinding solutions, enhance productivity and facilitate the effective and safe management of spaces

Cost and complexity pressures

Maintaining multiple legacy communication systems leads to rising operational costs, compliance risks, and reduced agility. Without cloud communication services and simplified collaboration models, IT teams are burdened by duplicated tools and licence sprawl.

SCC solution: Migration to as a service model

Consolidating communication tools reduces both spend and operational overheads. SCC supports organisations to migrate legacy platforms to cloud-first collaboration environments, adopting flexible “as a Service” commercial models that simplify financial planning while ensuring resilience and compliance.

  • Cloud migration and consolidation of tools including integration with legacy on-prem solutions where required
  • “As a Service” payment models to ease financial planning
  • Software optimisation for license value and cost efficiency

  • Automated tooling to simplify the management of communication and collaboration

Security & compliance in the digital workplace

Fragmented communication environments expose organisations to compliance failures, shadow IT, and cyber security risks. Regulations such as GDPR, ISO 27001, and Cyber Essentials Plus demand that business communication solutions include built-in governance, identity management, and secure data handling.

SCC solution: Security & compliance

Security and compliance cannot be treated as bolt-ons in collaboration. SCC embeds governance across every solution, covering identity, device, and data management. Our compliance-first approach ensures organisations can innovate at pace while maintaining confidence with auditors, regulators, and customers.

  • End-to-end governance: identity, data, and device management
  • Built-in compliance frameworks across platforms
  • Reduced risk and improved resilience

Lack of visibility and skills to manage UCC

Collaboration platforms generate unpredictable workloads, from contact centre’s to video conferencing and file sharing, often overwhelming infrastructure. Without proper capacity requirement planning and AI-driven analytics, organisations risk overspending on resources while still failing to meet demand. In addition organisations seldom have the depth of expertise to manage increasing complex collaboration estates.

SCC solution: Tooling, analytics & managed support

Collaboration platforms need to scale efficiently with demand. SCC can help you ‘right size’ your network and provides automated tooling and analytics which ensures you optimise resource allocation across users, rooms, networks, and applications. This ensures organisations can deliver reliable user experiences while controlling cost.

  • Data-driven planning for network, room, and application usage
  • Voice capacity and quality management tools
  • User, network, room, and application utilisation tools
  • Optimal resourcing aligned to demand
  • Higher ROI and service quality
