Current Status of the Assessment Automation System |
| |
The BSL has procured an Assessment Automation System ("iBEAM”) in March 2020 to streamline our business processes. Three rounds of Stakeholder Engagement Workshops were organised in 2020, garnering around 600 participations. The industry feedback we gathered from the workshops has helped us strengthen the system practicality amid the development stage.
In conjunction, we have launched the iBEAM web page on BSL’s official website to keep users abreast of the developments related to the system. The web page includes key information such as replay of the workshops, new updates, stakeholder engagement timeline and FAQ. |
