Questionmark Links with SAP's Learning Solution

Norwalk, CT (USA), November 2007- Testing and assessment software provider Questionmark has announced that its Questionmark™ Perception™ assessment management system now supports the SAP® Enterprise Learning environment. This will enable customers to more effectively recruit, certify, and align skills to corporate objectives.



Users of Questionmark Perception can now utilize SAP Enterprise Learning to make Perception accessible from within the learning solution. Questionmark assessments can be assigned to learners using the SAP solution, individually or in groups. The learner can launch an assessment, with Questionmark Perception accepting the learner's ID and authentication from SAP, so that the learner doesn't have to log in separately. Upon completion, the results of the assessment are automatically entered into the SAP solution.

"Assessments are playing an increasingly prominent role in helping organizations to recruit the right people, certify knowledge and skills, and align competencies with corporate objectives", said Eric Shepherd, CEO of Questionmark. "We're delighted that this support for the SAP Enterprise Learning environment will enable our customers to leverage and complement SAP's human capital management solution with Questionmark Perception's assessment management capabilities."

Questionmark Perception provides organizations with a comprehensive set of tools that enable creation, secure delivery, and comprehensive reporting of surveys, quizzes, tests, and exams. Perception's features include workflow management, twenty-two question types, efficient management of large item banks, and shared-content repositories that enable collaborative, distributed authoring. Institutions have the option of using the Questionmark Secure add-on for delivering high-stakes exams.
