Case Study: BOCES (New York Boards of Cooperative Educational Services) achieves rapid, accurate Regents exam scoring with Hewlett Packard Enterprise TeleForm

NY School Districts Extend HP TeleForm to Automate Test Scoring

BOCES (Boards of Cooperative Educational Services) faced a labor‑intensive, error‑prone process for scoring New York Regents Exams—relying on proprietary pre‑printed forms, expensive scanning equipment, manual transcription, and seasonal temporary staff that stretched processing from days to weeks. To handle high volumes and compressed timelines, BOCES engaged Hewlett Packard Enterprise and deployed HP TeleForm (with consulting and the FastScore extension developed by PACE Business Solutions) to automate forms capture and scoring.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s TeleForm solution unified paper‑based processing so districts could scan locally, verify remotely, and automatically import, score, and export results. The implementation enabled hundreds of exams to be processed in minutes instead of days or weeks, preserved data integrity, eliminated the need to reassign or hire temporary clerical staff, reduced total cost of ownership, and delivered a rapid return on investment while streamlining updates to grading systems and the state data warehouse.
