Project Sirius builds on SCC’s existing leadership in the technology sector by sharpening its focus on five core areas which are being redefined by AI: AI solutions, infrastructure factories for AI, AI-powered cybersecurity, AI-enabled digital workplace experience, and the AI-boosted hyperscaler marketplace. In addition, SCC will amplify its use of AI in strategic operational processes, to enhance key functions such as HR and finance, as well as reassess how AI can unleash significant productivity for fundamental core business processes such as the end-to-end sales lifecycle. Over five years, the investment in Project Sirius is expected to be between £50 million – £100 million. To help deliver the strategy, SCC is recruiting more than 100 AI specialists to work across these key areas in markets including the UK, France, Spain and the Middle East. The company will also open two Advanced Technology Centres (ATCs) in Birmingham and Paris later this year. These facilities will host customers to model AI use cases and scenarios as well as test new technology. www.scc.com (l-r) Tom McCarthy, Officeflow and John Caspell, iTS (l-r) Event host Baasit Siddiqui, with Agilico’s Matthew Wootten, Mark Bryce and Nick Speight Vision recognised by MPSA The Managed Print Services Association (MPSA) has named Vision a Leadership Circle winner.
