Under the terms of the agreement,
HiSoftware Company will provide an
enterprise license of its AccMonitor
Server software to the State of

Family Services for use by its

AccMonitor is an automated content
quality and accessibility testing
solution for Web sites, or for use in
conjunction with intranet servers or
file servers. AccMonitor is a server
solution that is designed to run with no
user interaction once configured.
AccMonitor can be scheduled to crawl Web
sites daily, weekly, or monthly. It also
allows users to log-on for “on demand”
reports on the accessibility status of
their Web pages.
State of Wisconsin Department of
Health and Family Services Web
application developers will also be able
to utilize HiSoftware’s user-driven
interactive desktop solutions, AccVerify
and AccRepair, and AccVerify and
AccRepair for Microsoft FrontPage to
test and remediate their projects for
compliance with Section 508 and other
content quality standards. These
solutions also include the new
HiSoftware Link Validation Utility,
which assists with quality and
accessibility assurance by scanning and
analyzing web content for broken links,
producing detailed reports to help
developers and quality assurance
professionals pinpoint and fix content,
interaction, and usability defects.
Section 508, an amendment to the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973, requires
electronic and information technology
that is used, developed, and procured by
the Federal government to be accessible
to people with disabilities.
