FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Ingenious Group Wins Top Honors at e-Assessment Product Shootout NEW HARTFORD, Conn., May 17, 2004 -- Ingenious Group, developer of the highly regarded Testcraft(R) Assessment Software, today announced very impressive results at the e-Assessment Shootout Competition. Voted by the live audience as 'Overall Winner' and placing second in the Ease of Use and the Data Collection, Reporting, Assessment Statistics categories, the results of the competition reaffirm Ingenious Group's leadership position in e-Assessment technology. Sponsored by Brandon-Hall.com and Training Magazine, the event took place March 1-3, 2004 at the Training 2004 Conference and Expo held at the Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta GA. The objective of this shootout was to place focus on which systems excel at making it easy for relatively novice developers to create tests, exams, and quizzes. This allowed the audience to see how robust and dynamic an online assessment can be and to show which systems do the best job of analyzing and reporting post assessment data. Over 3,700 training professionals representing a variety of commercial, non-profit and academic organizations from all over the globe attended the Conference and Expo, a sampling of which served as the live audience for each day of the event. A total of nine teams competed over the three day event. The audience was able to observe the complete assessment development on large screens in an effort to make it clear that each team was doing the same original work on-site. Each team then had the opportunity to debrief the audience on the assessment and output. The audience, in turn, rated each system on "Ease of Use", "Robustness of Assessment Output", and "Data Collection, Reporting, Assessment Statistics". "We are extremely pleased with our results because this clearly reaffirms that our development focus is in-line with our customers' goals and objectives. Testcraft being judged best overall by such a diverse audience is one of the greatest complements we could have achieved," said Curt Rogers, President of Ingenious Group.
