RM has entered into a framework agreement with the International Baccalaureate (IB) under which it will provide outsourced, on-screen marking services for the IB's flagship diploma qualification. In April 2009, RM signed a memorandum of understanding with the IB, covering the development and delivery of e-marking services.

RM Assessment will provide a complete on-screen marking service, based around its innovative scoris® e-marking system, for the IB's 6,500 examiners. The solution includes an examination script scanning service, a sophisticated computer-based marking environment, and electronic return and collation of marks, all controlled by a workflow system.

The service will support more than 2,800 schools across over 138 countries which offer the IB Diploma Programme.
