Secure
Exam Data Exchange Service
Case
Study : King Edward VI School
Geoff Wotton is the examination officer for King Edward VI School in Southampton. A key part of the examination officer’s role is exchanging exam entries and results files with the Unitary Awarding Bodies, “there is a huge amount of data to be collected, analysed and processed, and it’s increasing all the time. When a deadline approaches there is much pressure to make sure all the information is collected, and a very short period of time to check everything is correct and sent off”.
Geoff has started using RM's SecureNet Exam Edition since switching from their previous service provider, “examination officers only use their EDI service a few times a year and it is essential that the software is easy to use”. RM SecureNet has been designed to allow examination officers to quickly accomplish the sending and receiving of examination data. Geoff appreciates this degree of focus on the task at hand. Having confidence in the data exchange service is essential, “With RM SecureNet when you do send and receive data you can easily check to see whether the files are awaiting to be collected or have been received. The real beauty of RM SecureNet is its efficiency and simplicity. I can now transmit all of my entry files within about twenty seconds".
