DocMD makes the process of website document remediation quick and simple by doing all the work for you. It automatically finds any, and all, hosted documents, tests them for compliance and provides remediation options to fix those which are not accessible. The automated web crawler generates a detailed report with all the necessary information required to help you determine which files need attention.
Crawford Technologies’ AccessibilityNow DocMD is the answer organizations have been looking for. It is a cost-effective, easy-to-use and easy to deploy solution for automatically finding hosted documents, testing them for accessibility and providing various options for remediation.
As the tool is cloud based, it makes it very fast and easy to deploy, and because it was designed to be scalable, it is priced to fit any organization’s website needs, large or small.
The intuitive GUI makes navigating the tool simple and takes the guesswork out of making website content accessible, and with its automation process it leads organizations into compliance in no time at all.
Most organizations begin the digital accessibility journey by making their websites accessible, but the hosted documents are overlooked, leaving these organizations exposed. The biggest challenge is that finding these hosted documents and determining if they are compliant can be an overwhelming task, let alone finding a way to convert them, or remediate them, into accessible documents.
Another problem organizations are facing is the time and expense associated with the remediation of hosted documents. They are finding that it can be a time-consuming process and quite costly, but it needs to be done not only because rules and regulations demand it, but because it’s the right thing to do.
Perhaps you realize your organization has a problem related to PDF accessibility, but you don’t know where to start to gauge the size of the problem or prioritize your remediation efforts. You can’t afford to ignore the problem; all it takes is one download of a non-accessible document to open the door to compliance litigation. If you have a fully accessible and compliant website, but the hosted documents have not yet been remediated, you are exposed to ADA related litigation. How many PDFs are there, and how many are not compliant? AccessibilityNow DocMD has the answers and is your first step towards online accessibility compliance.
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.
Using efficient, cost-effective web-crawling technology, AccessibilityNow DocMD examines a website to identify the number of stored documents, and then performs an accessibility assessment of each one.
AccessibilityNow DocMD is a cloud-based, scalable enterprise platform solution, designed to meet the needs of small web sites as well as major enterprises. It validates PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Excel and EPUB documents.
DocMD results are stored and can be used for various tasks, the most common being for reporting and remediation purposes. The below screen capture shows the results of a crawl, with the total number of each type of file. Part of the process of displaying the results is the ability to select files to be sent for remediation, this enables the ability to prioritize the documents before they are submitted.
Website Document Remediation Made Easy. DocMD evaluates each of the located files against industry standards (WCAG, PDF/UA and/or HHS) to determine document accessibility status. For those which are not accessible, multiple options are provided to meet your organization’s specific requirements for remediation.
