Pune – July 24, 2018
Verificient Technologies, a leading Trusted Identity-as-a-Service (TIaaS), platform for identity verification and authentication, has made an aggressive expansion of its business in India with its innovative and patented solutions that aim at serving various sectors including higher education, talent acquisition & recruitment and remote labour-force management (virtual work at home agents).
Verificient Technologies, utilizes biometrics, computer vision, and machine learning to deliver world-class solutions in trusted identity verification and digital remote monitoring/ invigilation. The company’s patented solutions: Proctortrack™, FreshHire™and RemoteDesk™ go beyond using artificial intelligence with biometric authentication and identity verification, to ensure the individual who is supposed to be authorized to have access to content and data is the individual verified in real-time.
A growing number of students use unfair means while appearing for exams like mobile phones, smart watches, hidden earpieces and other such smart devices which can easily go unchecked by authorities. Recent cases of mass-cheating have come into limelight and the figures are unimaginable. Such rampant practices diminish the credibility of results as cases of cheating are increasing not just in higher education examinations, but Government examinations as well. Identity Verification is utilized by Verificient Technologies to ensure that candidates provide authentic information that is aligned with their identity as registered with a verifiable Learning Management Systems like Moodle, Canvas, Blackboard, Sakai and others. The objective of this technology is to identify and flag fraudulent accounts for curbing illegal activities that are currently on the rise.
Proctortrack is a patented and the only fully-automated remote proctoring solution that continuously verifies identity of online test takers. It helps create an unmanned environment for the user appearing for the test thus eliminating the fear of constant monitoring but at the same time prevents them from cheating using artificial intelligence. Proctortrack™ removes the manual element to achieve consistent and reliable results delivered at-scale, so any number of proctored tests can be taken anytime, anywhere, on-demand. It helps protect the integrity of online programs and educational institutions. Proctortrack is also the exclusive online proctoring service on the world’s famous MOOC platform edX for Georgia Tech, Notre Dame University and other universities. In addition, Verificient Technologies is also the exclusive provider to the largest Online Program Manager in the world 2U, who manages over 56 of the top graduate online programs in the world.
“We’ve not only helped to bring integrity to these programs, but helped them to scale with artificial intelligence that takes away the problems of scheduling of human invigilation sessions with manual human proctors or in physical testing centres in large metro cities. This technology further highlights the inaccuracies of working with live invigilators that intrude on the privacy of candidate’s computers and personal space,” said Tim Dutta, CEO & founder of Verificient Technologies.
But the problem of cheating becomes even worse when it affects employers seeking qualified candidates that really deserve the job posting. Especially, when it comes to government positions, as when the government loses confidence in the integrity of their employment testing, cheating becomes a severe problem for the whole country.
“This is vital and a very high stakes process for large international organizations that work globally and have very competitive job positions to fill. The reward to these candidates are often life changing and can lead to a very long-term position. Our experiences in being the exclusive provider for the United Nations in employment testing, not only gives us credibility that our technology can be used by the 193 member states anytime, anywhere on-demand globally, but that the United Nations rely on our technology to help pre-filter the right candidate for the right job roles, in a very rigorous and systematic method to achieve their hiring goals”, described Tim Dutta, CEO of Verificient Technologies.
