Quality and Accessibility Software,
AccVerify
Concord, NH July 22, 2004 – HiSoftware
Company announced today that Salem
Five Bank will be utilizing
HiSoftware’s AccVerify as part of its
quality control practices and its Web
accessibility strategy. Founded in
1855 and headquartered in Salem,
Massachusetts, Salem Five has become
one of the leading banks on Boston’s
north shore. The 1990's saw the
emergence of Salem Five as a leading
innovator in electronic banking. As
the first New England bank to launch
an internet division in 1995,
directbanking.com at Salem Five
continues to lead the internet banking
world. As part of its online access
strategy, Salem Five is committed to
ensuring that its Web site and Web
based banking services are available

Salem Five Web developers will utilize
HiSoftware’s AccVerify software to
enhance their accessibility testing
efforts. AccVerify tests Web content
and Web based documentation against
standards for accessibility,
searchability, usability and custom
content quality factors. For example,
custom quality tests include the
ability for users to take advantage of
pre-configured “alt-text” quality
tests or to define their own
organizational standard for this test.
AccVerify allows an organization’s
experts and/or policy managers to
define content policies and then
provide a solution to validate
compliance with these policies. The
final result is a complete and concise
report on the total accessibility,
quality and policy compliance status
of content that has been tested.
HiSoftware’s commercial product line
includes a combination of user-driven
interactive desktop solutions that
allow developers to test their content
for conformance with standards, and
server-side applications that allow
for automated and remote testing. A
scalable architecture provides a
faster deployment time and lower cost
of ownership for the solution set.

applications is available from the
