Recent Projects

HiSoftware and its Accessibility Consulting Practice (ACP) are the industry leaders in IT accessibility. Customers seek us out for some of the most unusual and difficult accessibility projects. This page highlights some of our recent work and accomplishments.

• HiSoftware’s ACP team finalized work with the Information Technology Industry Consortium (ITI) to develop an XML specification for the Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT). This specification will be used by the Federal government and the IT industry for upcoming VPATs—and is expected to serve as a model for supplier declarations of conformance (SDOCs) worldwide.
   

• HiSoftware’s ACP team won a competitive contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration for review of grantee programs and facilities under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. The agency identified the ACP team as the “clear winner” based on its depth of subject matter expertise in all areas of accessibility (including architectural accessibility).
   

• HiSoftware’s ACP team provides live training on ARIA development techniques and screen reader testing strategies to one of the nation’s premier providers of online reference data. Students participating in the course noted its high value and the unusual depth of expertise of the trainers in these highly specialized areas of accessibility.
