information and reduces the complexities
for creating and maintaining accessible
content. Our enterprise solutions enable
integration into every aspect of the
content delivery process making

the Quality Assurance process by
providing timely alerts to accessibility
workers when a page or site is not in

enhance the accessibility testing
workflow with a flexible workspace that
can be customized to maximize

Quality Assurance teams. A set-up wizard

remediation work and to ensure a common
experience in testing across Web sites
