Dear Associate, |
| In just a couple of weeks we'll be at the NOCA conference in South Beach Florida. At last year's conference we had just barely opened our doors to business; what a difference twelve months makes. |
In the last year we've worked with test programs all over the country. We've conducted security audits, produced security plans and exposed nearly a thousand Internet sites that traffic in test content. We've developed algorithms to uncover patterns of collusion, piracy and cheating in test data, and we're pioneering innovative technology that will improve the security of computer-based testing. |
| It's been an exciting year. We look forward to our continued association with many of you. As always, if you'd like to know more about our services send an e-mail or give me a call. |
Regards,
Don Sorensen
