Accessibility Program Whitepaper
There are over 285 million people in the world with some form of visual impairment, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). This represents a large group of people who often encounter significant obstacles to accessing the information published on websites and in documents.
With the December 2014 deadline for the Web Accessibility National Transition Strategy for WCAG 2.0 AA, and web accessibility being a key supporting requirement for the Government’s e-Government and the Digital Economy policy, many organizations are realizing that failing to accommodate people with disabilities can result in fines, penalties, and expensive litigation.
