As new technologies penetrate every part of educational assessment, data is being collected as never before. Traditionally, there were two methods of producing statistical information within Cambridge Assessment. Routine statistical information came from reports built into bespoke examination processing systems. Non-routine analysis and reports were produced by small teams of statistical experts, typically working within research units and using statistical software packages on personal computers. With increasing demand for flexible, high-volume statistical reporting, a new solution was required; one which combined the resilience and scalability of a server-based infrastructure with the flexibility of having statistical experts in charge of creating the statistical content. The Information Services Platform (ISP) is Cambridge Assessment's solution for these requirements. It provides our statistical experts with access to operational assessment data and tools to automate and schedule analysis and report, and to publish the resulting content on an Intranet Portal for use by colleagues across the organisation. In this paper, I discuss further the thinking behind the ISP and give practical examples of use.
