Grundig Business Systems (GBS), one of the world’s leading suppliers of digital dictation devices, has announced that it has set up an ‘Elite Development Alliance’ with digital dictation workflow market leader, BigHand.

Part of GBS’s strategy to be the preferred provider of next generation hardware, the alliance will facilitate regular consultation and cooperation between the two firms’ developers. There will be a joint focus on new technologies and the effective integration and deployment of turnkey solutions to clients.

With GBS’s reach in the UK, US and Europe and BigHand’s dominance both on the continent and in Australia, the initiative will be on an international basis, with GBS providing priority support to BigHand in all common territories. BigHand has more legal installations than the rest of the UK market combined and sells more handsets worldwide than any other vendor.

Commenting on the alliance, Stephen Thompson, Managing Director of BigHand, said, “Our clients look to us to supply the best digital dictation solution – software and delivery are paramount but you have to factor in the hardware too. Our work with Grundig Business Systems will ensure not just that organisations have more choice when it comes to the actual operational units but that they’ll be assured of optimum end-to-end performance in their dictation workflow. This is an excellent move for both companies and more importantly, for our users.”

Jürgen Rilling, GBS’s managing director, welcomes the association. “If digital dictation hardware suppliers want to enhance their offerings to the legal market, then it makes sense to work more closely with those who have the greatest understanding and experience of the sector, its needs and wants. Our cooperation will be of mutual benefit but the ultimate winner will be the digital dictation user – they can look forward to solutions engineered by two world leaders that will have a huge impact on workflow efficiency, efficacy and cost-effectiveness.”
