• The Integrated Assessment Record (IAR) is a framework that
provides secure user account management, assessment information
and monitoring capabilities, and a seamless view of a person’s
assessment details
• The IAR environment allows vendors to test their applications in an
IAR setting that matches the one used by their HSP clients
• The purpose of this overview:
– Provide instruction on effectively using Uploader and Viewer role by:
• manually uploading assessment files for a test organization
• viewing upload audit reports
• searching and viewing uploaded assessments

5. Getting Started
Advantages for using the IAR for testing are the ability to:
• Test vendor source system capacity to successfully upload manually and
through Web Service
• View response messages throughout submission process
• Validate search ability for client and assessment
• Identify discrepancies between source system and data feed
To gain access:
• Request user ID and Password via Support Centre e-mail iar@ccim.on.ca
• VendorsHSPs will receive URL to the validation environment:
https://iarvt.ccim.on.ca/concerto/Concerto.htm
