Douglas M. Winneg, Founder and CEO of Software Secure, said, "Software
Secure, with its tiered-levels of security for any kind of computer-based
exam, empowers organizations to choose the best product that meets their
needs, and those of their students. Remote Proctor Now brings integrity
to online exams with the student's own computer and web camera. By
removing human proctors, Remote Proctor Now eliminates cost, inaccuracies
and scheduling headaches associated with using a live proctor. While
clearly providing the online students greater convenience and value, it
provides assurance to institutions and students alike that all tests are
being monitored for online exam integrity and authenticity."

As a webcam-based solution, Remote Proctor Now is an on-demand, easy to
use, low-cost alternative to testing centers, personal proctors, and
other inconvenient methods of securing the online testing environment.
Students can take tests at their convenience, in the comfort of their own
homes, using their computer and a webcam. Remote Proctor Now eliminates
the need for acquiring new hardware or software, student set-up and
scheduling.

Remote Proctor Now, a logical evolution from Software Secure's 2011 CODiE
Award-winning Remote Proctor Pro technology, is already earning high
praise from its new customers. The College of Westchester, for example,
needed an easy, secure and cost-effective method to authenticate students
participating in its distance-learning programs. "Live proctoring
solutions are not always more effective in catching exam violators, and
can be costly," said Mary Beth Del Balzo, Vice-President, College of
Westchester Online Division. "Remote Proctor Now is secure, and can be
deployed quickly, easily, and inexpensively, and it exceeds all the
requirements of accreditors."

Remote Proctor Now is also meeting the growing needs for integrity in
online exams taken in K-12. Another customer, Alisa Jones, Supervisor of
Instructional Resources and Clay Virtual Academy in Florida, said, "With
more than 300 full- and part-time students who take virtual education
courses, we needed an alternative to making our parents drive their
children to a centralized brick and mortar site for testing. It was
equally important to us to have secure Progress Monitoring testing but
also be convenient for students and parents. The Progress Monitoring
tests measure student readiness for the high-stakes state mandated
assessments (FCAT). Remote Proctor Now is a perfect solution for us as it
fits both criteria while also being the most cost-effective solution that
we found on the market."
