BigHand, Inc. and Hofstetter Business Technologies Form Strategic Alliance in Canada(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) CHICAGO, IL -- (Marketwired) -- 09/23/14 -- BigHand North America, a voice productivity software solution, and Hofstetter Business Technologies, one of North America's leading providers of world class dictation and speech recognition solutions, are announcing their strategic alliance. This new partnership gives Hofstetter the rights to market BigHand Professional in the Canadian Market. BigHand Professional is designed for firms of up to 30 users where the combination of a subscription pricing model, minimal infrastructure required, flexible workflow options and mobile productivity benefits fit perfectly for smaller firms. This cloud-based solution enables dictation from a PC or laptop, any digital dictation device, smartphone or tablet and offers an optional hosted speech recognition module. In addition, BigHand Professional has a workflow management solution that gives firms the ability to assign priority to tasks, and enables staff collaboration to digitize and manage document production and task allocation processes. This allows greater visibility over workloads and processes as well as greater efficiency through increased collaboration. BigHand Professional Edition has been extremely popular since launching almost two years ago and counts over 600 firms as cloud-based customers, and the number continues to grow steadily. Return on investment is typically realized in less than a year when compared to analogue tapes or standalone dictation systems. "BigHand's voice productivity solution enables users to dictate anywhere at any time using a secure cloud infrastructure," said Eric Wangler, President, BigHand North America. "We are proud that Hofstetter Business Solutions has chosen BigHand as their strategic partner in the Canadian market. Both companies have a strong commitment to delivering innovative business technologies and proven service excellence." "Hofstetter has a long-standing reputation for providing our customers with the ultimate value while delivering products that maximize their productivity," said Mark Hofstetter, President, Hofstetter Business Technologies.
