Microcredentials-as-a-Service – Cloud Platform (MC-SaaS-Cloud)
Description
Employers and their HR departments are looking for better assessment of candidates based on real proven skills. Paper certificates lack the detail and are also easy to forge. Digital certificates, especially in the form of (micro)credentials, solve this problem.
Education institutions now compete on outfitting their alumni with such certificates to facilitate their jobseeking. Our unique technologies and user-friendly products enable them to do so, with the issuance of portable, verifiable and stackable credentials. These credentials are attractive due to their follow-up activities such as sharing on social business networks or collecting in wallets.
Through Microcredentials-as-a-Service – Cloud Platform (MC-SaaS-Cloud) we aim to offer a comprehensive set of fully managed products for issuing, managing and sharing credentials. The cloud platform will permit a highly scalable self-service operation and a high degree of customisation to address the needs of its users.
