Meerssen, the Netherlands (PRWEB) January 14, 2008 -- Adriaanse van der Weel lawyers are soon opening a new branch in Rotterdam and thanks to the implementation of digital dictation software from BigHand, distributed in the Netherlands by Morningstar Systems, this office will launch with minimal secretarial support. With BigHand, lawyers can digitally record their dictations and send them to secretaries in one of Adriaanse van der Weel's other offices in Middelburg or Terneuzen. The secretaries have more insight into the workload and are supplied with tasks more evenly.
The selection process by Adriaanse van der Weel for a digital dictation solution was very concise. Several suppliers were invited to give a presentation or demonstration. "Morningstar Systems made a very good impression with BigHand," says systems manager Fred Hermans. "The reference we spoke to was also very positive. The advantages of digital dictation were all confirmed and the system turned out to be very reliable as well, which is of course very important to me as a systems manager. Moreover, BigHand can operate in a terminal server environment. There are more suppliers claiming their systems can do so, but in practice this turns out to be a burden. We don't want to be a test subject for solutions that haven't been proven in practice."
The use of BigHand will be especially beneficial for the secretaries. It is much easier for them to take over tasks from each other and they have a better view of what work is still to be done. Also, recorded dictations are supplied individually and directly, while in the current situation secretaries sometimes receive long tapes with several dictations that have to be processed quickly.
Dries Ausems of Morningstar Systems: "For Adriaanse van der Weel, the advantages of using digital dictation are very obvious. If they were still dictating with analogue equipment, it would not have been possible to achieve this office with minimal secretarial support. Moreover, the solution will significantly ease the work for the current secretaries. As the supplier, we are very proud of the confidence given by Adriaanse van der Weel."
The new Adriaanse van der Weel office will open on the first of March; the implementation of BigHand will already be finished by the end of January.
