SCC, the technology brand of Rigby Group, has added hosted voice and UCaaS to its managed services portfolio following Rigby Group's investment in SIPCOM. The move follows SCC's acquisitions of SSE Telecoms' Hampshire data centre and Fluidata earlier this year.
Key to Rigby Group's investment is the potential to deliver a local service to international customers, underpinned by its growing near-shore service centre operation in Romania.
SIPCOM offers the ability to build private hybrid clouds with full feature capability that can be delivered over three continents, supported by a hosted voice service covering 65 countries.
SCC's data centre and cloud services hit £26m last year following a succession of key customer wins including Kier Group, Samworth Brothers, Grafton Group, Macdonald Hotels, United Utilities, Department for Work and Pensions, and WHSmith.
James Rigby, SCC's Chief Executive, said: "Adding Fluidata's network and SIPCOM's hosted voice and UCaaS capabilities to our data centre services delivers a cloud delivered managed services proposition to our customers and the markets we operate in."
SCC's total rack capacity now stands at over 1,800 and 14Mv of power, with the business closing FY15 on 67% occupancy and annual rack growth of 145%.
The company also has interests in hotels, aviation, airports, property development and finance.
SIPCOM, supported by Rigby Group, has extended its market with SCC and is looking to build its plan to 200,000 cloud based users by the end of 2018.
SIPCOM Chief Executive Daniel Allen added: "The investment from Rigby Group positions SIPCOM firmly in the mid-market space. It's a great match for everyone."
