Conformance testing
If your products, services, or website are accessibile, it means that they are within reach and usable by as many people as possible. This includes people with disabilities and special needs.
There are more than 50 million Americans with a disability (more appropriately referred to as "people with special needs") and the number continues to grow as Baby Boomers age. People with special needs cross all age groups, genders, races and markets.
Doing the right thing
Dealing proactively with accessibility and disability issues becomes an incredible opportunity for every company, both from a moral and business perspective. Addressing special needs, whether through equal opportunity employment or making products and services accessible is the right thing to do to ensure your company is a good corporate citizen.
It's also good business. Laws and policies now mandate that electronic and information technology be accessible to people with special needs. Very soon, for example, school districts and government agencies may choose not do business with companies who have not addressed accessibility and special needs. This could translate to losing lucrative business if your company provides goods or services to government or educational institutions.
Be proactive
That's where Techthree can help. Our staff includes bright people who are both familiar with government rules and standards, and expert at evaluating products and working with you to produce conformance statements for use on your website or when you respond to requests for proposals (RFP) from government or education entities.
Conformance testing services
We've got a proven track record working with companies to interpret mandates such as Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 requires that Federal agencies' electronic and information technology is accessible to people with disabilities, including employees and members of the public.
We also offer conformance testing services for conformance statements related to Section 255 of the Telecommunications Act for People with Disabilities.
