DRS, founded in 1969, is a UK based company producing products and solutions for large volume, time critical, data capture projects.
 
Operating globally, direct and via partners, its key markets are in education, elections and census.
Well known in the UK for its award winning scanning technology, DRS’s strength in education was reinforced with the production of OMR attendance solutions installed in over ten thousand schools.
 
With its bureau operation and the development of e-Marker®, one of the first electronic marking systems, it expanded its presence in the marking arena, providing marking solutions for Awarding Bodies and Professional Bodies alike.
 
Today DRS provides electronic marking solutions to some of the leading UK awarding bodies, marking millions of scripts annually at its centre in Milton Keynes. Acceptance of such technology has grown and educational establishments worldwide are exploring the quality and cost benefits of such electronic marking solutions.

As the use of technology further grows in assessment, the ability to take in electronic data from all sources, review, hold and mark that data, becomes critical. DRS is working with its customers to provide e-assessment solutions to meet the needs of all aspects of the assessment process, from the creation of the examination to the distribution of the award.
