Accessibility Consulting Practice

ACP Services Overview

As the industry leader in Web accessibility software, HiSoftware has helped our customers shape their accessibility policies and practices, and leverage the best in accessibility software products. In today’s business world with tight deadlines and overloaded staff, organizations often need more than just a product. With that in mind, we are now pleased to offer our customers flexible consulting service options that allow you to ramp up quickly and enhance your best practices, based on your needs.

Better, Faster, Cost Effective

HiSoftware’s Accessibility Consulting Practice (ACP) offers a compelling value and multiple benefits for our customers.

Better - The HiSoftware ACP team includes the best legal and policy expertise in the industry. We have been invited by corporations, foreign governments, IT trade associations, and even Congress to advise them on different IT accessibility laws. We have applied that knowledge to help simplify confusing legal and regulatory requirements for our customers and make sure that their programs run efficiently and with clear missions. Our ACP team also includes testers and developers who have focused their careers on accessibility, have led programs at major software companies and have developed some of the key accessibility architectures today.

Faster - With HiSoftware’s ACP team your organization can get up to speed quicker and avoid time-wasting mistakes down the road. Our ACP team knows how to work with our customers’ processes and not against them. We know how to find collaborative “win-win” solutions and foster buy-in and ownership. We also have the technical expertise to avoid bottlenecks.

Cost Effective - Avoiding costly mistakes and finding the most efficient ways to get things done all adds up to huge cost savings for our customers. Leveraging our expertise also helps keep your people doing what they do best instead of trying to summit the steep learning curve of IT accessibility. Our ACP team can provide as little or as much support as you need to help you succeed and maintain your accessibility program.

• Complete End-to-End Accessibility Solution:
  We recognize that laws like the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act require looking at the ‘bigger picture’ and examining whether programs as a whole are accessible. We are the only consulting group with this breadth of experience. In fact, we’ve been the vendor of choice for other accessibility issues, such as telecommunications and architectural barrier removal.
