There’s a window of opportunity—act quick!
Out of 1,136 major firms evaluated for their accessibility activity, 867 registered no score at all. You still have the opportunity to become a market leader, create differentiation and positive brand associations at relatively lower cost. Keep in mind, too, that not only is the regulatory environment getting tougher, but accessibility-related litigation against companies has doubled over the last two years.
Large orders for accessible edu materials devoured.
For educational institutions fielding requests for accessible instructional materials, FASTtrack tackles a major pain point: the trade-off between speed and quality. This software solution quickly devours high volumes of accessible instructional material without compromising on quality. Students who are blind or low vision get accessible learning materials 2X faster.
Two types of communication in telecom
Customer communications in telecom are generally either one-to-one statements and documents (e.g. monthly usage billing statements) or one-to-many documents (e.g. user manuals, marketing materials). Communications in telecom, namely one-to-one documents, may contain sensitive subscriber data that must remain private. Learn how we safeguard subscriber data.
