Questionmark™ Perception™ is the most scalable assessment management system on the market today. You can start small and grow your installation to the size you need. Most projects are deployed entirely using in-house staff, or with assistance of Questionmark partners around the world. But what about larger-scale deployments or applications that require integration with other systems? These situations call for strategic consulting that brings Perception users, IT staff and other key players together to ensure a successful deployment.

Questionmark Consulting Services help customers holistically plan their assessment system, effectively merge it with existing applications and launch it successfully.

The Strategic Planning service brings Perception users, IT staff and other key stakeholders together to holistically plan their assessment system, integrate it with existing applications, and deploy it:

• What are the strategic goals for the project?
• What is the intended use and application of Perception?
• How many authors, participants and administrators will be involved in the assessment process?
• How will Questionmark Perception fit in with the organisation’s strategic plans?
• Are any single-sign-on systems in place?
• What systems are already in place, and are any others needed?
• What’s the best way to proceed with the assessment programme?

Your Questionmark consultant visits your site to assess your situation and develop an action plan. Your strategic plan will specify the key aspects of your installation, including server harder, network configuration, security configuration, integration methods, workflow process, and reporting requirements. You can implement the plan yourself or have us guide you through the deployment.

We can help you effectively plan and implement assessments that meet your needs, teaching you best practices to make sure you get the most from your assessments. Whether you are new to online assessments or an experienced user, Assessment Strategy and Deployment Consultancy can help optimise your online assessment process, and help ensure that your assessments are meeting your organisational goals. Your Questionmark consultant will speak with you about your specific needs and then develop the best solution for your organisation.
