Our consulting areas
Advice on the introduction of accessible software
The introduction of new software depends on many factors. One important prerequisite is accessibility. Not only accessibility, but also usability should be taken into account.
To ensure that the new software fully guarantees these features, the right criteria must be identified and described before the tender or selection process. We develop customer-specific criteria catalogs with regard to accessibility and usability.
Competencies
- Development of a suitable catalog of criteria
- Creation and formulation of specific tender texts
Advice on programming accessible applications
If an application is not barrier-free, this is usually accompanied by expensive and intensive reworking and leads to dissatisfied customers. You can prevent this enormous additional expense and loss of image with our support.
We advise you right from the start and show you in detail what you should pay attention to when programming your application for accessibility. We develop a checklist specifically for your application, which can be worked through step by step in the individual programming phases. This enables you to achieve a high level of sustainability and transparency in the area of accessibility.
Application improvement
If your application is not currently accessible, we will be happy to advise you. We will provide you with an expert opinion and show you the weak points.
We then develop suitable measures based on the identified weaknesses that will make your application as accessible as possible so that you score points in a tender or with the customer.
Your individual “Accessibility business plan”
A holistic approach to accessibility is becoming increasingly important due to digitalization and the demographic change that is taking place at the same time. The ageing of the workforce and the associated visual impairments, among other things, make it clear that companies must increasingly rely on accessible information technology.
Those who fail to recognize the signs of the times are accepting the declining work efficiency and thus increasing dissatisfaction of their own employees. A holistic approach strengthens the overall efficiency of your company and promotes the inclusion of employees with disabilities.
