Sify Technologies Limited (NASDAQ: SIFY), headquartered in
Chennai, India’s most comprehensive ICT solutions provider with
global service capabilities spanning domestic and international
Telecom Networks, Data Centers, Cloud, Applications, Managed
services and Systems integration, announced their partnership with
Talview, an AI enabled Talent Assessment technology provider, to
integrate Remote Proctoring Solutions with its iTest platform. This
integration with Talview’s proctoring solution, Proview, will
ensure authentic invigilation of online assessments held remotely.
Sify’s iTest is a platform providing end-to-end admission,
recruitment & assessment engine. iTest has the capability of
providing a safe & secure testing environment in both LAN-based
and internet-based settings. In just the last year, iTest has
hosted approximately 4 million assessments online.
Talview’s Proctoring Solution, Proview, will enable iTest with
powerful features such as live and automated remote proctoring that
uses AI-powered facial recognition to detect impersonation, browser
policing, real-time alerts, activity log to inspect suspicious
activities, and more.
“Outbreak of COVID-19 has given a definitive surge to the online
examination software market and has increased the need for advanced
proctoring solutions. Remote proctoring offers a series of
advantages over traditional online examination method. Our iTest
platform will come equipped with this AI based proctoring solution
to ensure the quality and integrity of exams and candidates during
remote examination. With this integration, iTest can now create a
bio-metric record of the candidate, track their movements across
multiple browser windows and for every session, and flag other
suspicious activities like copy-paste in real time. The solution is
designed to work in low bandwidth environment making it the perfect
solution for the current situation,” said Kamal Nath,
Chief Executive Officer, Sify Technologies Limited.
With the integration of iTest and Proview, examiners can now
benefit from various advanced features:
The AI-enabled online proctoring solution,
available in automated mode monitors suspicious
activity using advanced video and audio analytics. It ensures the
candidate focuses only on the test screen; monitors the light and
other factors in the room; checks for suspicious actions &
objects and background voice activity; and watches the browser
window to detect changes. Adding to the automated module is the
Live remote proctored solution that deploys trained resources in
conjunction with the automated proctoring to offer a solution that
gives an exam body the confidence to deliver exams in a remote
manner.
The exam administrator can also monitor the online
test from their preferred locations. A detailed log
of browser activity and audio-visual responses of the candidate is
provided, and the AI sensors disable the candidates’ facility to
copy/paste answers. Real-time access restriction ensures the
examiner can take action immediately if a candidate is using any
fraudulent means. Real-time recording of users’ actions facilitates
secure and authentic online tests. The recorded streams can be
stored and viewed for up-to six months.
The proctoring solution comes with advanced facial
recognition features that ensures that the candidate
is the original person taking the exam. Using an advanced algorithm
in Machine Learning, it provides a confidence score to help ensure
a match, and Two-Factor Authentication process that avoids
fraudulent activity by quickly restricting test access.
Along with automated proctoring, facial recognition and live
monitoring the solution also provides analytics on user behavior
and user actions. It also offers browser patrolling and real-time
communication via a ChatBot and configurable alerts to avoid
fraudulent activities during tests.
Commenting on this partnership, Sanjoe Jose, CEO,
Talview, said, “Sify is a pioneer in the online
assessments market and we are glad to be partnering with a player
who has in-depth knowledge of the existing demand. Our AI tools are
built on the foundation of years of assessing candidates in a
virtual environment. Our combined solution will help the target
