MRI also provided a marker and measurement software solution for Unique Solutions. Unique has a diversified clientele for whom they provide 3D body scans. The MRI software finds 47 distinct body markers and generates the body measurements associated with those markers. Previously this task was handled manually and would take up to 45 minutes. The MRI solution takes less than 5 seconds and is accurate to within 1% of the manual method.
Excellent learning materials depend upon those materials being accurate. MRI provides accuracy checking for McGraw-Hill Higher Education. In particular MRI checks the accuracy of many of the math problems, physics problems and chemistry problems deployed though the McGraw-Hill web sites.
In the past MRI's provided programming expertise to IBM Canada, the Education Development Center, the Jason Foundation and other distinguished clients.

Within the publishing industry MRI can provide authorship, proofreading, copyediting and project management services. Through the combination of our in-house group and our extensive network within the university and college system we can access the skill set and human resource requirements necessary to meet the needs of our clients.
Programming Projects
The development of a Learning Content Management Systems (LCMS). To assist in this endeavor the company has hired the chief architect of the XOOPS open source content manager. We believe that this will speed the movement of MRI into the content delivery as well as content development market.
The construction of Supplements that support the acquisition of math knowledge or that provide teachers with technology tools to assist them in motivating students to learn mathematics.
The construction of a Content Authoring and Display system.
The construction of a Computer Algebra System that supports the undergraduate mathematics curriculum. This will require a complete re-thinking of the User Interface and logic that supports the current systems.
Any project requiring a programming solution.
