Winckworth Sherwood LLP chooses latest fully integrated HR and payroll solution from Access Select

Colchester, UK - 23 September 2010 - Access, the mid-market consulting, software and solutions provider announces today that Winckworth Sherwood LLP has invested in the latest, fully-integrated solution from Access' specialist HR and payroll division, Access Select. The company will be implementing SelectHR and SelectPay to improve efficiency by streamlining processes and to ensure easy access to timely information.

Winckworth Sherwood is a highly individual law firm based in London, committed to providing a relevant, competitive and professional service.  With 37 partners and around 175 employees, it has a very strong RSL (registered social landlords) and publicly accountable client base and acts for a large number of proprietary businesses and partnerships in the private sector. The firm prides itself on its collaborative approach, enabling it to adapt to the individual needs of its clients and to invest in appropriate practice areas, such as employment, where it is developing a significant reputation.

With the new fully-integrated HR and payroll solution now available, Winckworth Sherwood will benefit from many advanced features including self-service, automatic production of P11D's and administration and management of the firm's training and development requirements. With additional developments incorporated in SelectPay, such as online payslips and P60s, the benefits of a fully integrated solution are wide ranging. These also include avoiding duplicate inputting and ensuring HR and payroll information is accurate and timely.

Tom Vesey, partnership secretary for Winckworth Sherwood, said, "We wanted an integrated system for efficiency and integrity reasons. We apply the same tests to our suppliers as we demand of ourselves and that is the provision of relevant, economic professional services.  Our investigations satisfied us that Access met these criteria. They understood our requirements and had developed a product that was well designed and supported, which would enable us to keep our costs under control."

"We're thrilled that Winckworth Sherwood has chosen to implement SelectHR and SelectPay," said Dee Caporali, sales director at Access Select. "The legal sector is a very important market for us and Access Select already has a number of law firms using our HR software and benefiting from the latest developments available. The new integrated package will mean that Winckworth Sherwood will be able to take full advantage of these, as well as the networking opportunities that arise from events like our popular Regional User Group Meetings."
