EPIC - One of the most exciting things to come from Inscape in recent years is not a product, but a product platform. EPIC (Electronic Profile Information Center) provides a simple way to deliver profiles via the Internet. Here's how it works: By working with The Learning Service, Ltd. (your Inscape distributor), you can now have access (as a sub-account) to all of Inscape's online profiles through EPIC. From your PC, you can administer access codes that allow people to complete the assessments online.
 Once a respondent finishes answering the questions, the resulting report goes to the respondent or to you—you decide!  The EPIC system offers advanced functionality that permits system administrators to track various activities. EPIC also gives organizations the capabilities to build group reports from data stored in the system providing an analysis of team dynamics.
