For Law firms
Digital dictation partner with Winscribe and Olympus
Firms can save money, work more efficiently and more flexibly using digital dictation. Digital dictation removes the problems with tape that we all live with – dictation can’t get lost, sound is CD quality, prioritised dictations are highlighted, the dictation jobs waiting for typing are shown as a visible list on your PC and are not hidden on tape and more.
Alchemy Systems have long experience in making computer systems and digital dictation work for legal firms. Not just the technical expertise but also in its practical daily use. This has resulted in Alchemy becoming the only official Olympus Pro-Line and WinScribe partners in the South West.
HR management software Laserform HR Systems
Personnel Management is clearly not all about software. In Law firms; it's about people management, regulatory compliance, risk management, client service and ultimately delivering profits to the partners or members. A laudable sentiment; is it achieved? We think so.
Personnel management may not be all about software, but choosing the correct software is of paramount importance. Laserform HR Systems in partnership with firms across the country has written HRnet specifically for the legal sector. Importantly, we are the only supplier in the United Kingdom that is able to make this assertion.
HRnet’s users are a collaborative group who collectively contribute to the ongoing development of HRnet via our steering group and customer perception surveys. Importantly, all users benefit from this close interaction.
To be an effective asset, the HR department must remain in control of staff, processes, training and management information throughout the firm. HRnet has the unique ability to replicate a law firm’s structure, its staffing roles and this offers effective, devolved management for teams and departments.

For schools
Alchemy Education – is an alternative to the ‘one size fits all’ approach to IT in schools.
Alchemy has put together a set of ‘best of breed’ computer resources for Primary Schools across the region. Integrating IT solutions that deliver on your IT spend and can minimise your IT carbon foot print. This includes a very fast support system to ensure schools do not lose a lot of time with systems failures.
There are a number of pieces to the package:
- Many schools IT provision needs updating ; requiring a review of hardware and systems.
- There is a need to rationalise educational software and ensure that software is in line with the Primary Strategy and follows a common format.
- IT support is needed, when you call. Remote support which is immediate can often solve problems quickly and efficiently, thus reducing frustration from teachers and pupils.
- There are currently sources of funding we can advise you on to help to renew computer infrastructure.
- Learning Platforms need to be developed which enhance pupil learning and parent partnership.
- Advice about how our solutions can help rural communities develop the ‘Extended Schools Agenda’
Teachers continue to develop their skills delivering lessons and materials using IT, it is vital that these systems work effectively all the time to deliver high quality performance to all pupils, teachers and parents.
Alchemy Education has the resources, knowledge and understanding of the real issues facing schools, and are here to put together a package of hardware, software, training and support to really benefit schools.
