SCC is helping organisations in the construction sector to streamline operations, remove communication silos and improve digital security.
The sector is challenged by:
01
Technology Adoption and Integration
Many construction firms resist new technology due to unfamiliarity and reluctance to change, limiting productivity and innovation. A study by Avanade found 31% of construction IT systems are outdated, though 80% agree failing to upgrade harms long-term growth. Overall, 90% of businesses experience growth constraints due to outdated technology.
02
Project Management and Communication
Communication between teams is a major reason for disputes and delays on projects. According to The Access Group, this ‘silo’ mentality leads to uncoordinated work riddled with errors. Poor documentation management can also lead to lost information, errors and delays. Construction Times outlines how these issues are exacerbated by communication breakdowns due to an inefficient project management system.
03
Security and Compliance
The construction industry is at the highest risk of ransomware attacks, according to Nordlocker, due to handling valuable data like project plans and finances. Limited cybersecurity and inadequate training increases vulnerability. Additionally, rapid technological changes lead to evolving regulations, complicating new software use. Navigating local regulations is essential for compliance to avoid penalties and legal issues.
Our Solutions for the Construction Sector
Digital Workplace
SCC’s Digital Workplace solutions simplify collaboration for construction companies. Our project management and document control solutions keep all project data centralised, reducing errors and improving efficiency. We integrate systems for real-time updates, secure cloud storage and clear communication to ensure everyone stays informed.
Cloud Services
The construction industry is increasingly turning to cloud-based solutions to overcome barriers to digital advancement, enhance security for large-scale projects, and build resilience against supply chain disruptions. SCC offer a range of cloud platform services (public, private, and hybrid) and provides expert support in designing, implementing, and managing cloud infrastructure for construction firms.
Cyber Services
Construction firms face growing cyber threats and complex regulations, risking project delays and reputational damage. SCC Digital provides managed security operations, vulnerability management, and incident response to protect sensitive data and ensure compliance. Their accredited expertise and UK-based SOC help construction businesses build securely and safeguard their future.
Infrastructure
SCC facilitates construction’s digital transformation by leveraging Dell and HPE solutions for Digital Twins and data management. This enables real-time data integration for virtual models and provides scalable storage and AI analytics for insights, supporting constructions in developing comprehensive digitisation strategies to support organisational growth and secure operations.
Network Services
SCC offers modern, next-generation networking solutions that transform how construction projects operate from the ground up. Our site in a box solution provides ruggedised, standardised networking equipment for various site sizes. We provide end-to-end lifecycle support, from design and deployment to ongoing management, enabling secure, high-bandwidth connectivity like private 5G, to ultimately boost productivity and safety for construction organisations.
Software
SCC helps construction firms manage their diverse software needs through Software Asset Management (SAM). We handle the entire software lifecycle, ensuring license compliance and avoiding penalties. SCC also optimises software costs by identifying underutilised licenses and streamlines deployment, improving efficiency and security across varied projects and temporary sites.
Payment Solutions
SCC offers a number of tailorable payment solutions to construction organisations, which enable them to take advantage of the benefits of new technologies with minimal upfront cost. Organisations can consume IT services and deploy technologies through a pay-as-you-go model supporting them to meet their business goals and stay ahead of the competition.
