Supply Chain
The introduction of remote processes for warrant applications, conducting interviews, taking statements digitally and an increase in email communications, are just a few of the ways police forces have adapted to the changes since the COVID-19 pandemic. Current ageing legacy infrastructure is a barrier to the adoption of the new working practices. As supply chain issues caused by component shortages hit many IT providers accessing the kit required to remain operational is becoming challenging for forces.
Partnering with SCC will give police forces access to our 1000’s of vendor partners and suppliers as well as our massive stock holding, stored across the UK to enable fast configuration and delivery to our customers.
Product Supply
Our asset management system Lifecycle™ helps police force organisations to reduce the administrative and transactional cost of purchasing IT equipment through a pre-defined catalogue of products available to order by the end user, with approval processes built in.
Configuration
SCC will configure the device at our National Distribution Centre, which has the capacity to roll out 780,000 configured devices annually and process up to 1,000 builds per shift.
Services include comprehensive configuration, image management and asset tagging for laptops, desktops, tablets, mobile devices, servers and switches.
Recycling Services
To meet compliance requirements and ensure the safe destruction of data carrying devices to protect sensitive information, police forces need to work with an approved, secure recycler.
SCC offer a number of recycling services including data erasure/ destruction, full device destruction/recycling or an option to remarket and redeploy kit back into the organisation. For organisations with enhanced security protocols, we can also recycle devices on the customer site. Our service portfolio contains both Government and MOD approved services.
