General Availability of SDL Accessibility Solution
Santa Clara, CA, UK-November 7, 2018 - SDL (LSE: SDL), a global
leader in content creation, translation, management and delivery,
today announces the general availability of its SDL Accessibility
Solution to help companies ensure their content and digital
experiences are universally accessible and meet global regulatory
compliance.
The SDL Accessibility Solution solves these problems by
combining assessment, strategy and services with technology,
including SDL Tridion Sites for web content management and
publication, SDL Translation Management System for multilingual
translation and SDL XPP, an automated XML engine for complex and
high-volume publishing applications. The combination enables
companies to ensure that content - from across the organisation -
is delivered across all languages, available for all abilities and
across any channel.
Close to 15 per cent of the world's population has an impairment
affecting visual, hearing, motor and/or cognitive abilities.
Companies need to ensure all their content - both digital and print
- is easy to use, navigate, and complies with regulatory guidelines
for Universal Accessibility. This involves manually creating,
adapting, and checking multiple pages of content, much of which is
locked in PDFs, videos and documents. For regulated industries,
it's even more challenging given the volume, timelines and
confidential nature of content, compounded by the strict regulatory
requirements
The SDL Accessibility Solution addresses these challenges,
offering clients a comprehensive solution combining consulting,
implementation and technology to help evaluate, remediate and
deliver accessible content to improve customer experiences, while
reducing their corporate compliance risk.
The solution enables organizations' content to comply with
international accessibility guidelines, including the British
Standard 8878, the European Accessibility Act, Section 508 and 504
of the US Rehabilitation Act, AODA, Web Content Accessibility
Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 and PDF UA.
"Much like a physical store or office, companies need to ensure
that their online products, services and digital experiences are
available to everyone. The reality is that companies - who are
already overwhelmed with content - still lack a strategic approach
to universal accessibility," said Christophe Djaouani, SVP at SDL.
"It's not only a corporate responsibility for every company, but
also a good business strategy, making sure you reach all of your
audiences. Incorporating accessibility into a content strategy can
improve the customer's journey and have an overall positive impact
on your customers' experience and a company's revenue."
