Content Management Systems like SharePoint are great collaboration tools because they let every stakeholder in an organization post and share their content. However this wealth of information from multiple input points can quickly spin out of control and make and make collaboration tools a potential breeding ground for vulnerabilities. You probably have more hidden risk than you realize and it’s growing exponentially every day as more of your staff use SharePoint. In this Webinar learn about the risks your organization might be exposed to and how you can take back control of your content.

Why WCAG 2.0 Matters to You

Audience: Accessibility Owners
Duration: 30 minutes
Speaker: Ken Nakata - Ken is one of the most well-known and respected attorneys in the area of IT accessibility and works as the Director of Accessibility Consulting Practices (ACP) for HiSoftware.

While many US organizations currently use the Section 508 standards, there is a growing harmonization to the WCAG 2.0 guidelines. Companies who do not migrate to WCAG 2.0 accessibility standards will face potential liability internationally and in a growing number of states. For organizations that look to the Section 508 standards, it is likely that the pending refreshed standards will align to WCAG 2.0. Please join HiSoftware for a free Webinar on Why WCAG 2.0 Matters to You on Thursday, January 28th. Learn why WCAG 2.0 should be used by both private and public sector organizations as the new standard for all addressing accessibility and the solutions available to help you achieve WCAG 2.0 compliance faster.

The recording will be available soon.

Web Accessibility Best Practices for Online Retailers After National Federation of the Blind v. Target

Speaker: Ken Nakata - Ken Nakata is one of the most well-known and respected attorneys in the area of IT accessibility and works as the Director of Accessibility Consulting Practices (ACP) for HiSoftware.
Audience: Corporate, eTail
Duration: 45 minutes

Think website accessibility doesn’t affect you? Think again. Earlier this year, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California sent a clear signal that companies had to ensure that their websites were accessible to people with disabilities. In 2006, the National Federation of the Blind sued the Target Corporation for the alleged inaccessibility of its website. This litigation applied the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)—and state laws expanding the ADA—to a retailer’s website and quickly became a focal point for advocates and industries alike. The court’s opinion presented a cogent analysis that explained how private company websites were squarely within the scope of disability rights laws.
