Business Challenge
When dealing with large volumes of documents, it can be difficult creating an efficient process that will accurately and cost effectively handle the remediation process without affecting performance and the delivery of the output. This can be particularly tricky when organizations are new to accessibility and don’t know where to begin.
With evolving legislation and increased enforcement of existing laws, it is more important than ever to be in compliance with global regulations related to document accessibility. Organizations face potentially large fines and litigation issues if they do not provide communications in accessible formats to the growing population of blind, partially-sighted, and cognitively disabled individuals.
AccessibilityNow® Designer is a powerful solution that simplifies and automates the process of creating accessible transactional documents by providing a GUI design tool that quickly configures the actions and parameters that govern exactly how fully composed files will be processed in order to deliver accessible outputs.
By converting documents stored in an ECM repository to Accessible PDF and Accessible HTML5, this company was able to be in compliance with current regulations and service all of their customers.
