Questionmark Expands SaaS Platform with European Data Centre

The Questionmark OnDemand assessment management platform is expanding its reach with the opening of a European data centre to serve a growing number of customers around the globe.

Assessment technologies provider Questionmark, with offices in the UK, US, Canada and Europe, deployed the new European-based data centre to offer its customers the security, availability and flexibility of a cloud-based environment that satisfies EU data privacy laws and customers’ requirements. The new data centre is ISO: 27001 and ISO: 9001 accredited and fully compliant with the relevant requirements of PCI DSS v1.2. Extensive security, redundancy and service continuity measures ensure a safe, reliable and trustable environment for the creation, delivery and analysis of high-stakes assessments.

“Questionmark’s European assessment cloud reflects our commitment to meeting the needs of our many European and global customers for whom compliance with EU data privacy and security directives is paramount,” said Questionmark CEO Eric Shepherd. “Our customers deliver high-stakes tests and certification exams, and they simply cannot compromise on the availability, reliability and security of their assessment management. They rely on us to provide 24/7 service, global support, service continuity, measures that target 100% uptime and a decades-long track record of providing trustable results to clients worldwide.”

Questionmark OnDemand is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution that enables organisations to rapidly deploy their online testing and assessment programs either on a small scale or globally. OnDemand customers use the company’s assessment authoring, delivery and analytical technologies in a secure, reliable environment. Freed from concerns about hardware, upgrades and maintenance, they can deploy assessments rapidly and grow their implementation as needed.
