Citytech loves to get reader feedback to hear which software is lighting fires under techno wood piles. Bighand, in their usual style, did the most work to ferret out testimonials from you all, so they get the star slot for 2007. The MBO seems to have really propelled the business into heady new heights. The latest Bighand deal with Linklaters is the largest implementation of digital dictation workflow software in the global legal sector.
Some law firm tech purchaser testimonials for BigHand digital dictation
“We were one of BigHand’s very first digital dictation users back in 2001, and given the benefit that their software has provided the firm over that period we were more than happy to also be an early mover onto BlackBerry Dictation. Our lawyers have found being able to dictate on a BlackBerry extremely valuable, enabling a much faster turnaround on work recorded when out of the office, and the firm is set to realise savings when we no longer have to supply each person with two devices for remote working.” Victoria Cumming, IT Manager, Bentleys www.bentleys.co.uk
“I would like to nominate BigHand for inclusion in the 2007 best tech stars review, following our recent implementation of the BigHand BlackBerry client. A number of our lawyers are now using their BlackBerry smartphones for dictation and have found that the productivity enhancement from the instant delivery of dictations back into the office workflow is a major benefit. As we were one of the earliest firms to install the software the input of our lawyers has gone directly back into its ongoing development – for example, we have helped suggest and refine some advanced features that will help users who produce a large amount of dictation. That way the transition away from a professional recording device is easier, and convergence to a BlackBerry becomes more of an option for the firm as a whole. We were delighted to work so closely with BigHand.” Jan Durant, IT Director, Lewis Silkin, www.lewissilkin.com

“Peter Birley, Browne Jacobson gets our vote .”
“We sell very specialist property tax software to large law firms and normally it takes twelve months, and a mass of work to get our new technology through the layers of IT. One firm stands out as being quite different and receptive and that is: Browne Jacobson. We went from presentation to installation in a few weeks with Peter Birley, their IT Director, pushing the project all the time.” Simon Sabel, Landscape Software,
