Description

Document accessibility has been around for a long time, from its beginnings with Braille in the early 1800s to the digital era starting in the late 1980s. This certainly isn’t a new concept, but something has been changing, especially within the last decade. It is becoming more and more the standard and less and less the exception. Organizations realize how important it is to make customer-facing information accessible, compliant and usable, and because of this, they are learning to incorporate document accessibility into their daily routines. For many, this is still a new concept, and therefore need help understanding the importance of having a document accessibility workflow in place. This session will describe the various advantages of having a functioning and successful document accessibility plan that, when implemented properly, will deliver many benefits.
