From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

SCC Platform

The SCC Platform is a secure digital tool developed by the SCC Arbitration Institute for managing arbitration and mediation proceedings (SCC Arbitration Institute: Everything you need to know about the SCC Platform (2024)). Introduced in 2019 by the SCC Arbitration Institute, the SCC Platform offers a centralized, user-friendly solution for handling case documentation and communication in arbitrations (SCC Arbitration Institute: Case Management)

The SCC Platform is designed to streamline the administration of arbitration and mediation cases by providing a secure environment for storing and sharing case documents.

Key features include:

  • Centralized Document Management: All documents related to the arbitration or mediation are uploaded to the SCC Platform, allowing all participants: arbitrators, parties, and the SCC Secretariat to access the information in real time.
  • Secure Communication: The SCC platform offers secure messaging between the parties, arbitrators, and the SCC Secretariat, reducing reliance on less secure forms of communication like email.
  • Access Control: The platform uses role-based access controls, ensuring that only authorized users can view sensitive information. This is crucial in safeguarding confidentiality, which is a cornerstone of arbitration proceedings.
  • Enhanced Efficiency: By providing a centralized platform for document submission and communication, the SCC Platform reduces administrative delays, resulting in faster case resolution (Herbert Smith Freehills (2019).

The SCC Platform is used for all disputes administered by the SCC Arbitration Institute. The SCC Platform’s use became particularly significant during the COVID-19 pandemic, when the need for remote solutions in arbitration surged.

User Feedback:Feedback from users of the SCC Platform has been positive. The SCC Platform’s features have enhanced the overall user experience.
