The good news is that you have a number choices when it comes to selecting an assessment platform. The bad news is that almost all these platforms are proprietary, and are designed to make it difficult for you to switch to other systems down the line—even if those systems are a better fit for your needs. Essentially, proprietary technology locks customers to a vendor’s product and service stack— which is great for the vendor, but not so great for you. This is where OAT comes in. Because TAO is published under GPL-2—the most commonly used Open Source license—you win with our platform in two significant ways: By controlling the source code you gain speed and agility, which are key to innovation. Equally important, you pay only for what you really need. After any customization is done, you are free to use TAO however you want. No license fees, no test-delivery fees—ever What are the advantages of an open source platform? What are the benefits of an open solution? How do I know which edition of TAO is right for my organization? What are the system requirements for running TAO? Do customers own the content we create in TAO? What kind of services does TAO offer? Why is IMS certification/QTI-compliance important? How can I customize the TAO platform to support my organization's needs? I just downloaded TAO. Where do I get support? What is OAT's mission?
