Our journey
to the Cloud
SCG Solutions was formed with the coming together of 2 Circles Communications, NSN (New Star Networks) and Hello Telecom, within Southern Communications Group.
With a combined experience of over 100 years in telecommunications, SCG Solutions enables businesses through the application of IT and communications services. Our journey has taken us from an off-the-self product supplier to a Managed Service Provider in order to help our customers scale the curve and achieve greater success.
It's all about the Cloud
With a rich history as early adopters of the delivery of Hosted telephony services and the acquisition of our own cloud-based telephony platform in 2018, our journey to the Cloud has run concurrently across all areas of the business. We have been talking to our customers about how the future of communications is in the Cloud for a long time, and the past two years during the Global Pandemic have only accelerated this.
We now feel that it is time to recognise that the Cloud is no longer the future, it is the here and now. We believe in this so much that we all updated our logos to reflect our commitment to the Cloud in 2021 and it forms the basis of our branding as SCG.

Mark Shraga
Chief Sales & Marketing Officer
As a business that has strong growth from both direct customer engagement and a highly successful buy and build model, we have been innovating many of the products that we sell.
Our business has been all about the Cloud since the acquisition of our own cloud-based telephony platform in 2018.
Therefore, we feel that it is a natural evolution of our brand to take the Cloud outline as our group identity. From January 2022 you will begin to see our Cloud outline being adopted right across the Southern Communications Group.
Our Commitment
It is our commitment that you can be completely assured of the level of service you will receive wherever you see our Cloud outline attached to a Group company.
Our trademarked Cloud outline extends the SCG Service Assured product range even further than ever before.
Our ongoing commitment to evolve the way that we communicate doesn't stop here.
Exciting new developments are always in the pipeline, always with the focus of enabling businesses to take change in their stride, secure in the knowledge that they made the right decision to partner with us.
