Digital Accessibility and the ADA: Regulations and Reality

Introduction

Accessibility used to be a checkbox on procurement forms for both sales and buying perspectives. Sales teams needed VPATs to win deals, and Procurement and IT teams needed VPATs to buy software applications. But what does this really mean, and how is the DOJ ruling impacting decision-making?

Due to popular demand, Equal Entry has been presenting to many organizations about the new DOJ ruling and its implications for procurement. Digital Accessibility has become a core focus for designers and developers, but now it's crucial for procurement, sales, HR, marketing, and IT teams as well.
