Examus Provides Proctoring Infrastructure as a Service

Here is a closer look at the proctoring as a service format and its benefits.

The Examus proctoring system can be purchased not only for exam season but also for permanent use as a fully integrated infrastructure. This format is called proctoring as a service. It is especially convenient for universities and organizations that regularly conduct a large number of exams.

There are several reasons for choosing the proctoring infrastructure as a service.

Cost reduction

One of the most popular questions from our customers is how to decrease the regular investments in proctoring. The answer is to create a proctoring center. To create a proctoring center in your institution, here are some easy steps to follow:

1. Examus provides the AI Online Proctoring software on the subscription basis;
2. Examus helps to integrate the AI Proctoring software into the client's infrastructure;
3. Examus provides the clients with the full manual and all the instructions on how to use the system, along with training for the client’s employees.

By building a proctoring team and providing technical support, clients can significantly reduce payroll expenses. Large universities are already implementing such proctoring centers: for example, the Higher School of Economics in Moscow has successfully created their own online proctoring center based on Examus AI proctoring technology.

Full confidentiality

User data security is always a hot topic for our customers, even when the proctoring company minimizes all possible risks. Proctoring as a service can further enhance security. In this case, the entire infrastructure is deployed either in the cloud or on the customer's physical server. All required security protocols, which may differ from organization to organization, can be standardized. Thus, confidential user data remains with the client and does not need to be sent to a third-party provider.

An opportunity to become a proctoring service provider

Setting up your proctoring center is not only convenient and cost-effective but also allows you to become an independent provider of exam proctoring services. In this case, the Examus software needs to be purchased under a license granting the right to sell the product in the customers' market for a specified period. Customers can design logos for their products, but these must display “Powered by Examus” underneath. This type of collaboration is commonly known as white labeling.

Extended technical opportunities

By launching the proctoring infrastructure as a service in partnership with Examus, customers receive several technological benefits at once.
First, they can use different types of proctoring: real-time, post-review, and fully automatic.

Using the Automatic AI proctoring is the best way of organizing a large number of exams and reducing costs.

Second, Examus significantly updated its AI algorithm in December 2020. The new version detects cheating 35% more accurately and spots the presence of headphones and mobile phones on its own. The AI works together with a biometric identification module that automatically identifies users. This prevents attempts to replace an examinee with somebody else.

Another important feature for customers is that the range of devices is not limited to laptops and PCs. Examus supports Android and iOS mobile devices. This option is actively used by clients in Africa and Asia, where the usage of mobile devices dominates over computers. Mobile proctoring is the growing segment of the field, and having a software which supports mobile platforms is a significant advantage for the institution.

Examus AI proctoring solution can be integrated with any LMS and testing system. If necessary, you can organize exams for tens of thousands of users simultaneously in different countries and even continents.

Finally, we should also highlight the work of technical support. Proctoring as a shas a chatbot that uses a knowledge base to answer frequently asked questions. This knowledge base can be adapted to any language so that customers provide the first line of technical support themselves.
However, Examus’s team is always available to help students, proctors, and a client’s employees in case of any extraordinary issues.
