UK-based reseller SCC has expanded its unified communications portfolio through the acquisition of Visavvi.

Visavvi is an audiovisual provider that specialises in the sale, installation and maintenance of communication and collaboration technology. The Saville Group previously owned the brand.

James Rigby, Chief Executive of SCC, said: “It was important to acquire a business that complements our own, both in terms of capability and culture.

“Visavvi strengthens our capability in education, with its leading specialism in large space AV suitable.

“Meanwhile, existing Visavvi customers will benefit from SCC’s expertise in voice and collaboration, supporting the shift to the digital workplace.”

Visavvi will continue to trade under its own name, underneath the SCC AVS brand. The acquisition sees 130 employees join SCC.

SCC AVS was formed in 2018 when SCC merged its unified communications business with avsnet, which it acquired that year. The combined company has more than doubled in size since 2020, SCC said.

The managed service provider added that the acquisition of Visavvi will add scale to its UC operation and increase its geographic reach in the UK.

Visavvi specialises in UC technology from vendors including Barco, Logitech, Microsoft, Pexip and Poly.

Andy Dyson, Managing Director of Visavvi, said: “This is an incredibly exciting and positive step for the company and I, alongside my fellow directors Colin Etchells and Ann Pickard, look forward to continued success powered by our new, strengthened business position.”
